Video Summary

Here's a summary of the YouTube video review:

The Cupra Tavascan is a sporty and stylish mid-sized SUV. It's Cupra’s second all-electric offering in Australia. The car shares the MEB architecture, also used in Volkswagen’s ID4, ID Buzz and Skoda Enyaq.
The Tavascan comes in two specifications: Endurance (RWD), starting at $60,990, with a 210kW motor, a 77kWh battery, and a claimed 534km range; and VZ (AWD), starting at $74,490, with dual motors, 250kW, the same 77kWh battery, and a 494km range. Both variants can charge at up to 135kW DC. The VZ sprints 0-100km/h in 5.5 seconds.
The Tavascan VZ has 21-inch alloy wheels with copper accents, adaptive suspension, matrix LED headlights, a fixed glass roof, electric seats with heating, and a 12-speaker Sennheiser audio system.
This model is a striking car in the metal with a low front grille, high-set LED headlights, and a coupe-style rear.
The interior feels very different and has unique design. Some materials in the cabin feel cheap and plastic-y. Overall, the build quality of the Tavascan seems good. The 15-inch infotainment screen is quick and runs Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Unlike physical buttons, touch controls control air conditioning and other functions.
The driving position is comfortable. The cabin features good noise isolation. The driver's window down has some buffeting. It needs tighter down force around corners and to feel more planted.
Driving Feel is improved from previous Cupra’s and the driver’s seat offers support through corners.
The reviewer liked the design brief as the SUV remained comfortable and technologically infused.
