If you’re looking for an electric SUV that blends performance, style, and practicality, the 2025 Cupra Tavascan is about to shake up the Australian market.
As Cupra’s first electric SUV, it promises to deliver a unique driving experience while being packed with cutting-edge features.
The Tavascan arrives in Australian showrooms in early 2025, with pre-orders kicking off soon.
This EV comes in two variants: the Endurance RWD and the VZ AWD, priced in the $60,000–$70,000 range before on-road costs.
The Tavascan offers sporty aesthetics, an impressive range, and the performance needed to rival competitors like the Volkswagen ID.5 and Hyundai Ioniq 5.
Design and Features
The Tavascan isn’t just another electric SUV; its design screams sophistication with its sleek curves and bold lines.
The entry-level Endurance RWD comes standard with:
- 19-inch Vulcano alloy wheels
- Hands-free power tailgate
- Tri-zone climate control
- A massive 15-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Safety is top-notch too, with 7 airbags, AEB, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control all standard.
Opt for the top-spec VZ AWD, and you’ll enjoy even more luxury and tech:
- 21-inch Katla alloy wheels
- Matrix LED headlights
- Adaptive dampers
- A panoramic sunroof
- An upgraded 12-speaker Sennheiser audio system for an immersive sound experience.
Performance and Range
Both variants share a 77kWh battery but offer distinct power outputs:
Variant Power Torque 0-100km/h Range (WLTP)
Endurance RWD 210kW 545Nm 6.8 seconds 534km
VZ AWD 250kW 134Nm front + 545Nm rear 5.5 seconds 499km*
(*Range drops to 463km with the optional Extreme Package due to performance tyres.)
With a maximum DC fast-charging capability of 135kW, the Tavascan can juice up quickly for those on the go.
Interior Luxury and Options
Inside, the Tavascan offers a minimalist yet high-tech design.
The 15-inch OLED infotainment screen and 5.3-inch digital instrument cluster keep everything at your fingertips.
The Ambient interior lighting and optional premium materials like Dark Night microfibre add a touch of sophistication.
Choose between four exterior colours, including the stunning Tavascan Blue, and three interior upholstery options.
Premium matte finishes are also rumored to be added post-launch.
