Cupra Tavascan: Sporty electric SUV with a range of 540 kilometers starting at 56,000 euros

The Seat subsidiary Cupra is launching its second model, the Tavascan, in September, based on the VW Group's MEB electric platform. According to the company, the 4.64-meter-long SUV coupe will start at an entry-level price of 56,210 euros. It is also set to compete against models within its own family but is priced significantly above the VW ID.5, Skoda Enyaq, and Audi Q4 Sportback.

However, Cupra is going all out in return. The car is not only more distinctively designed than its family members, with an illuminated brand logo and an intricate LED crossbar across the rear. It also boasts the best technology from the platform.

Up to 180 km/h fast and over 540 kilometers range

According to Cupra, initially, only the 77-kWh battery, which should last up to 542 kilometers, will be installed. The base model features a rear motor with 210 kW/286 hp, while the top model uses two machines with a combined 250 kW/340 hp. According to the manufacturer, this allows the Tavascan to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds in the best case scenario and reach up to 180 km/h in both versions.
