Uploaded 1 year ago by Nevo EV Review Ireland

Video Summary

The exterior of the Cupra Tavascan is noted as being striking, with a unique triangle light signature for the daytime running lights. There is an illuminated badge. The bonnet has interesting aerodynamic styling. The engine bay is what would expect of a regular car. The side of the car features copper wheels. The front and rear tire sizes are 255/40R21. The vehicle comes in six different colors. It measures 4.6 meters long, 1.9 meters wide, 1.6 meters tall, with a wheelbase of 2.8 meters.

It has a gloss black A-pillar and a panoramic sunroof. There are door handles. On a DC, you can charge up to 130 kW. On AC charging is 11 kW. From 10-80% it takes 30 minutes.

The interior is designed with high plastics that are textured and incorporate copper trim, alcantara, and LED triangles. There are three headrests, Tri-zone climate control, heated seats, USB-C ports in the back. There is storage space in the glove compartment, a trunk space with a removable floor for more room. The dashboard features a 15.4-inch screen, which includes all major apps. The head-up display also has augmented reality functions.

The VZ version with all-wheel drive makes 250kW and 340ps. It also goes from zero to 100 in 5.5 seconds. The regular, rear-wheel-drive one makes 210kW or 286ps.

The price for the VZ version is expected to be 50-55K. The starting price of the base model is going to be under 50K. The suspension has been tweaked and lowered: 50mm in the front and 15mm in the back.

Three levels of regenerative braking are available, but they are not quite one-pedal drive. As the coupe version, the trunk volume remains good with 540 liters. The brakes are two-part calipers in the front, while the rear is drum brakes like other MEB platform cars.
