Cupra Tavascan (2024-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Looks cool inside and out	Ride is rather firm on entry-level V1 version
Spacious and practical	Not cheap
Appealingly individual design	You might get tired of explaining what it is

Quick Summary

The Cupra Tavascan is an all-electric coupe-style SUV that combines striking, individual design with impressive practicality and strong performance. Available in four versions—V1, V2, VZ1, and VZ2—it offers either rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive powertrains, with the latter delivering 335bhp and 0-62mph in 5.5 seconds. The 77kWh battery provides up to 353 miles of official WLTP range, whilst the spacious 540-litre boot and generous interior space make it genuinely practical for families. Standard equipment is generous across the range, including LED headlights, keyless entry, three-zone air-conditioning, and adaptive cruise control on all models.

The Tavascan's adaptive suspension system (fitted to V2, VZ1, and VZ2 models) significantly improves ride comfort compared to the firmer V1, whilst the steering is nicely weighted and direct. However, the infotainment system is overly complicated, requiring multiple taps to access basic functions, and the car's weight of nearly 2.2 tonnes means it lacks the agility of lighter rivals. Running costs are reasonable for an electric SUV, with home charging costing around £22 for a full charge on standard tariffs, though DC rapid charging is considerably more expensive. The Tavascan represents a compelling alternative to mainstream electric SUVs, offering style, substance, and performance in equal measure.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, spacious electric SUV with strong performance, generous standard equipment, and individual design appeal; those who value practicality without compromising on aesthetics.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers or those prioritising the lowest running costs; drivers who prefer simple, intuitive infotainment systems; or those seeking the sharpest handling dynamics in the electric SUV class.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tavascan if: You want a stylish, spacious electric SUV with strong performance, generous standard equipment, and individual design appeal; or you value practicality without compromising on aesthetics.

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious or prioritise the lowest running costs, prefer simple infotainment systems, or seek the sharpest handling dynamics in the electric SUV class.

Competitive Position: The Cupra Tavascan is a compelling and distinctive alternative in the electric SUV market, offering striking design, impressive practicality, and strong performance. Whilst it matches the Volkswagen ID.4 on overall rating and shares the same MEB platform, the Tavascan's individual styling and generous standard equipment give it genuine appeal. However, the Kia EV6 and Polestar 2 both achieve higher overall ratings, with the EV6 offering superior value and the Polestar 2 delivering a more refined driving experience. The Tavascan's main weakness—its complicated infotainment system—is offset by its spacious interior, appealing design, and strong performance credentials, making it an excellent choice for buyers seeking something different from mainstream electric SUVs.
