Cupra expands Irish retail network

Four new Cupra retailers have opened across Cork, Dublin, Galway and Waterford, doubling the number of Irish retailers from the brand.

The current Cupra retailers, Bright Airside (North Dublin), James Barry Motors (Limerick), Johnson and Perrott, Mahon Point (Cork) and McCoy Motors, Lucan (West Dublin) will be joined by new retailers Finbarr Galvin Ltd. (Cork), George Corbett Motors (Waterford), Spirit Motors (South Dublin) and Monaghan & Sons (Galway).

Each of the retailers will provide an exclusive Cupra area which will display the brand’s product range. Each retailer will have a dedicated Cupra Specialist, a brand expert who has received specialised training from the Cupra factory in Martorell, Spain.

The dedicated Cupra Specialist is the only point of contact throughout the sales and aftersales process for the customer, providing a bespoke and premium personal service, the brand says.

The Cupra Forementor

The announcement of the four new Cupra retailers prepares the brand for the arrival of its first fully electric car, the Born, which is due to arrive in Ireland later this year.

The brand’s second 100 per cent electric model, the Cupra Tavascan, will join its EV range in 2024.

The Cupra range includes the Cupra Leon, Leon Sportstourer, Ateca and Formentor models. The Cupra Formentor, Leon and Leon Sportstourer are now also available as e-Hybrid models.

Niall Phillips, brand director for Cupra and Seat Ireland says: “It’s a very exciting time for Cupra Ireland as we add to our network of Cupra retailers.

“Since the brand’s launch in 2018, it has seen significant growth, which was marked with the launch of Cupra’s first standalone vehicle – the Cupra Formentor in January and the arrival later this year of the brand’s first 100 per cent electric vehicle, the Cupra Born.

“With plans to increase our retail network further in Ireland by 2022, we look forward to adding more Cupra retailers to our network as the brand continues its expansion across Ireland.”
