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 performance. Available in four versions with either rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive powertrains, it delivers 282bhp to 335bhp, with 0-62mph acceleration ranging from 6.8 to 5.5 seconds. The official WLTP range reaches up to 353 miles, whilst the 540-litre boot provides ample space 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 slinky roofline hides its substantial size, offering surprising practicality with well-shaped boot space and comfortable rear legroom. Most versions feature adaptive suspension that improves ride quality and handling, though the entry-level V1 has a firmer setup. The infotainment system, centred around a 15.0-inch touchscreen, is comprehensive but overly complicated to navigate. Charging at home on a 7.4kW wallbox takes 11-12 hours and costs around £22 at national average rates, whilst DC rapid charging achieves 10-80% in 28 minutes. Prices start at around £47,000, making it a premium offering in the electric SUV market.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, spacious electric SUV with strong performance, distinctive design, and generous standard equipment, particularly those who value individuality and practicality.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those prioritising a softer ride (on the V1), or drivers who prefer straightforward infotainment systems and lower running costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tavascan if: You're seeking a stylish, spacious electric SUV with strong performance, distinctive design, and generous standard equipment, particularly if you value individuality and practicality.

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious, prioritise a softer ride, or prefer straightforward infotainment systems and lower running costs.

Competitive Position: The Cupra Tavascan is a compelling choice in the premium electric SUV market, offering striking design and impressive practicality. Whilst it trails the Kia EV6 in overall ratings and value proposition, it competes well against the Volkswagen ID.4 and Polestar 2. The Tavascan's individual styling and generous standard equipment differentiate it from rivals, though its firm entry-level ride and complex infotainment system are drawbacks. For buyers prioritising distinctive design and performance over maximum value, the Tavascan is an engaging alternative to more conventional electric SUVs.
