Lookers has opened a SEAT and Cupra dealership in Newcastle at a site on Railway Street, close to the city centre.
The showroom is the only authorised Cupra dealership in Newcastle and marks the group’s fourth investment in the brand and a significant investment in the local economy.
Cupra is one of Europe’s fastest-growing brands. Last year, a record 41,000 cars were sold in the UK, up 35% year on year.
Lookers Franchise Director Lee Swindells said: “We’re thrilled to bring one of the world’s greatest brands to a world class city, delivering real choice and value to the people of Newcastle.
“This outstanding new dealership marks a major investment in the brands and in the city and the feedback we’ve received so far has been fantastic. Congratulations to our outstanding local team for a supercharged official opening event.”
“This is an incredibly exciting time to be expanding our partnership with the CUPRA brand, and we’re beyond thrilled that customers in Newcastle can immediately benefit from a next-generation dealership that reflects the style, passion, performance and innovation of CUPRA.”
Claire English, Head of Sales for Cupra and SEAT UK, said: “Welcoming Newcastle to our growing Cupra family marks a key milestone as part of our nationwide expansion and the warmth of the welcome we’ve received in the city has been beyond our expectations.
“Our strong partnership with Lookers reflects our commitment to delivering outstanding customer service built on experience and an outstanding reputation and we’re looking forward to continued growth together.”
