The next CUPRA EV is coming – and it’s a familiar face

The CUPRA Tavascan represents a significant milestone in the brand’s journey towards electrification, and here at #TeamArbury, we can’t wait to get behind the wheel. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming release!

The next CUPRA EV is coming – and it’s a familiar face

The Tavascan began life as a concept car – unveiled at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, where it was presented as “the brand’s dream” for an electric future. And now, CUPRA have made it a reality, with a fully electric SUV coupé that blends design allure with instant power.

CUPRA has become widely renowned for being disruptive. The Tavascan – described as ‘a new hero for a new era’ – brings the brand’s vision of an all-electric future to the market, while still pitching to a new generation of drivers who want to stand out from the crowd.

Wayne Griffiths, CUPRA CEO, comments:

“There are so many purely rational electric cars coming to the market. That’s not what CUPRA is about. In 2019, we had a vision to reinvent electrification: we wanted to show with Tavascan that it’s not a vehicle responding to change, but a car that creates it. Back then maybe it was only a dream. Now with the CUPRA Tavascan, our dream comes true.”

The Tavascan expands the brand’s growing range of electrified vehicles, alongside the fully electric CUPRA Born and the plug-in-hybrid versions of the CUPRA Leon and Formentor.

With a fully electric range of up to 339 miles*, and the ability to charge from 0-62 miles range in only 7 minutes**, it gives you the confidence to go beyond. The CUPRA Tavascan has a max power of 340PS and the ability to surge from 0 to 62mph in just 5.6 seconds, offering the power without compromise.

This exhilarating performance is packaged in a captivating, streamlined exterior, which is introduced by the illuminated CUPRA logos at the both front and rear. Step inside to discover a progressive cabin with Dark Night microfibre bucket seats and state-of-the-art connectivity, courtesy of the contemporary Y-bone console in Dark Ice Metal. Driver assistance technologies also come as standard, including Travel Assist, which combines Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Assist Plus.

It’s clear that the Tavascan is set to make a big impression when it arrives this year – all that’s missing is you!

* CUPRA Tavascan is currently not available for sale and pending on homologation. The technical data displayed are merely indicative and may vary. The available power (KW) and acceleration of the vehicle depends on the battery charge level and its temperature at all times. The pictures are used for illustrative and informational purposes only and may not correspond to the series production.

The electric range of the vehicle varies depending on a series of factors such as the orography of the terrain, the weather conditions, the state of charge of the vehicle (occupants + luggage), the age and condition of the battery, the optional equipment chosen (rims, tyres ...), the use of peripheral consumers such as heating, air conditioning or heated seats, and their driving style. The indicated autonomy is a provisional value and has been calculated in accordance with the WLTP regulation that establishes standard test conditions applicable to all manufacturers so that the values calculated following this regulation are comparable with each other for all vehicles.

** Charging times vary in relation to the following factors: external and battery temperature, maximum voltage of your charger system and its current condition, as well as battery condition and the use of other electrical equipment in the car during charge.

One of the biggest differences between an electric vehicle compared to a traditional combustion vehicle is the consumption. The cost of electricity is usually cheaper than fuel or diesel. Thanks to this, with the Tavascan we can drive 100km for less than €2 or even charge the batteries with a domestic solar panel system. Additionally, an electric vehicle has fewer maintenance costs than a combustion one as it has fewer parts, meaning less wear and tear. The information provided here is based on general economic trends and may also vary depending on a range of other circumstances.
