Cupra Tavascan: the global presentation of the electric SUV

At a spectacular event in Berlin, Cupra unveiled the Tavascan, the first all-electric coupe SUV in its lineup.

The Cupra Tacascan combines a new design language that will carry over to the brand’s future offerings. It has a length of 4,644 m, a wheelbase of 2,766 m, a width of 1,861 m and a height of 1,597 m.

At the front is an illuminated CUPRA logo – one of the first production models with an illuminated logo in Europe – which is in harmony with the triangular lighting fixtures and embossed surfaces of the bonnet.

The Tavascan was developed on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB electric vehicle platform and is available in two power options. At the top of the range is the 250 kW (340 hp) VZ version, with power transferred to the asphalt via an all-wheel drive system comprising an electric motor at the front axle (80 kW and 134 Nm of torque) and another at the rear (210 kW and 545 Nm of torque).

From a standstill, the Cupra Tavascan VZ can accelerate from 0 to 50 km/h in just 2.4 seconds. and 100 km/h accelerates in just 5.6 seconds.

There is also an Endurance version with an electric motor on the rear axle that sends the power (210kW-286hp and 545Nm of torque) to the respective wheels.

The lithium-ion battery is common to both versions and has an energy capacity of 77 kWh. It is a system housed within an aluminum structure that is part of the bodywork, increasing rigidity while keeping the weight low and central.

In the Endurance version, the autonomy declared by the manufacturer reaches 550 km, and in the most powerful VZ 520 km (WLTP).

The second all-electric car in the CUPRA series after Born can increase its range by 100 km in just 7 minutes.

And when the battery level drops to 10%, it can be replenished to 80% in less than half an hour using a charging point with at least 135 kW.
