The CUPRA Tavascan, the largest electric vehicle from this Spanish brand, now features a new entry-level version that makes it cheaper than ever before. With a starting price of 38,530 euros, it is below the 43,500 euros price of the Endurance version and roughly on par with the CUPRA Born, sharing the same 58 kWh battery capacity.
According to CUPRA, this new variant is designed for daily use and medium-distance trips. It expands the Tavascan’s range to appeal to customers who previously considered it a vehicle in a higher price category. Despite this significant development, the Tavascan is now cheaper than ever thanks to a recent agreement between CUPRA and the European Union to reduce many of the tariffs imposed on this SUV due to its Chinese origin.
190 HP engine and 58 kWh LFP battery
The entry-level version is equipped with a single 190 horsepower engine and 350 Nm of torque, paired with a 58 kWh LFP battery. It achieves a range of 441 kilometers and consumes only 15.5 kWh per 100 kilometers (WLTP). Its DC charging capacity reaches 105 kW, with up to 11 kW in AC systems. Under ideal conditions, the battery can go from 10% to 80% charge in 26 minutes.
The Endurance version remains available, featuring rear-wheel drive and 286 HP, while the VZ version has all-wheel drive and 340 HP. Both are equipped with a 77 kWh NCM battery that can be charged at 135 kW in DC, allowing it to go from 10% to 80% charge in 28 minutes. The Tavascan Endurance boasts a range of 557 kilometers. The all-wheel drive VZ version has a reduced range of 527 kilometers due to its higher power consumption.
More standard features across the range
In addition to the access version, the Tavascan range features a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster that is more customizable than before. The infotainment system, with a 15-inch touchscreen, is based on Google’s Android Automotive OS and, according to CUPRA, offers a faster and smoother experience. The steering wheel once again has physical buttons instead of haptic ones.
The Endurance and VZ versions come standard with Launch Control. The entire range also introduces One Pedal Driving: by increasing regenerative braking efficiency, the car can be stopped in most cases simply by lifting the foot off the accelerator. The Tavascan also includes the Mobile Device Key digital key, which allows unlocking, starting, and accessing the car via a smartphone, as well as V2L reverse charging that enables powering external devices.
Frontier vs. Born: More Size, Less Range
The comparison with the Born is straightforward. Both have exactly 190 horsepower and nearly the same price, with a difference of 530 euros. However, the Born, being smaller, offers greater range: 482 kilometers, 41 kilometers more than the base Tavascan. In exchange, the Tavascan provides more cargo space and a higher ground clearance.
