Naggar stressed that Cupra has managed to build a strong presence alongside its sister brand Seat, which carries a long history of success in Egypt. The commitment is clear. The company plans to keep developing both brands and strengthening their position, driven by a long-term strategic vision and confidence in the growth opportunities the local market offers in the years ahead.
