Car Details
The Cupra Tavascan VZ is an ambitious first bespoke electric SUV from the Spanish performance brand, and it shows both promise and growing pains. The 335 horsepower dual-motor AWD setup provides strong acceleration, and the 320-mile range is competitive. Cupra's signature copper accents and aggressive styling give it genuine visual distinction on the MEB platform that underpins numerous Volkswagen Group EVs. The chassis tuning reveals Cupra's sporting intent, with firmer springs and more responsive steering than its VW ID.5 cousin. However, the Tavascan cannot entirely escape the MEB platform's limitations -- the steering remains somewhat disconnected, and the rear-heavy weight distribution creates understeer under aggressive cornering that contradicts the sporty branding. Interior quality is mixed, with some premium materials alongside less convincing plastics. At over $52,000, it faces stiff competition from the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and even its corporate cousin the VW ID.4. The Tavascan VZ has personality, but it needs more dynamic substance to fully justify the Cupra badge.
