Cupra: New Plug-in and Combustion Engine SUV for 2024

The engines, namely mild and plug-in hybrid versions, reveal that the new SUV is likely not the electric Tavascan, but rather an Ateca replacement, which, thanks to new PHEV technology, is expected to offer an all-electric range of up to 100 kilometers.

The vehicle is said to be characterized by its "confident appearance" and could visually differ significantly from a future Seat Ateca successor. The compact SUV will be around 4.50 meters long. The classification as an Ateca successor (the Ateca is produced in the Czech Republic along with the very closely related Skoda Karoq) also fits with the production location: The new electrified SUV is slated to be produced starting in 2024, together with the Audi Q3 Sportback, at the Győr plant in Hungary.

What does that mean?

Cupra is taking advantage of the moment and preparing in advance: Starting in 2024, a new (and possibly last) compact SUV is set to debut alongside the Tavascan, which is expected to differ more significantly from a Seat Ateca that will also be replaced by then, compared to the current Cupra Ateca. Production will become a bit more "fiery" with a shift from the Czech Republic to Hungary.
