Video Summary
Here is the summary:The Cupra Tavascan Endurance is considered a fun EV that is exciting to drive and rivals Chinese EVs, starts at $60,990 AUD ($38,400 USD) before on-roads. The 0 to 100 in 6.52 seconds.
The front of the car has a copper Cupra badge that lights up, with functional aero hood. The day time running lights features three triangles with bright LEDs. Aerodynamic is at 0.26 drag coefficient. Reviewer likes it in white; the blue color has an extra cost. 19 inch alloy wheels look pretty good. An upgrade to the interior package yields 20 inch wheels. The tires are Hankook iON evo SUV and have decent grip. Features privacy glass with charge port.
The door handles are confusing. Trunk space is 540L with underfloor storage for the charging cable; the second row can be dropped down for more space. The interior is soft touch. Base model interior gets an upgrade in the +$4,000 package. The review model lacks ambient lighting and Sennheiser Sound System. The reviewer appreciates that temperature settings have back lit buttons. Stearing wheel has touch capacity which the reviewer doesn't like. 5 inch digital instrument cluster is compared to a motorcycle display. A center armrest with a couple of cup holders. USB-C fast chargers.
Back seats had a lot of leg room and good head room. The review model had scratchy hard plastic while other materials are soft.
AC charging is 11 kW with DC fast charging reaching 135 kW. 77 kWh NMC Battery. Car is heavy, weighing 2,150 kg. The car, with 220 kW of power and 545 Nm of torque drives like nothing else at its price point. The Endurance, due to it's lighter weight, is more fun to drive than the all wheel drive VZ. Battery efficiency is 20.9 kWh / 100km.
The reviewer recommends the Endurance over the VZ. Understeer and regenerative breaking was an issue. Expect about 450 km of range in the real world
