Cupra Tavascan priced from $60,990

CUPRA has announced pricing for its incoming Tavascan mid-sized electric SUV.

The new-to-Australia five-seater will be available from April – but is up for pre-order from February 27 – priced from $60,990 plus on-road costs, and sports styling cues familiar to those first seen on the Cupra Born.

Offering 210kW of power and 545Nm of torque and up to a claimed 534km driving range (WLTP), the rear-wheel drive Cupra Tavascan is said by Cupra to be a unique-in-segment entrant.

“The Cupra Tavascan is a statement piece both for our brand and our customers,” said Cupra Australia director Ben Wilks.

“It is a statement of intent and commitment from our brand, to ensure that making the switch to electric doesn’t have to be boring – owning a medium SUV can be a design piece and mirror the driver appeal of our highly acclaimed petrol performance range.

“The Tavascan also embodies our unique position in the market – Cupra is neither mass mainstream, nor luxury, we are about authenticity of design and engineering combined with great value.

“Until now, this combination hasn’t been found in this segment,” he concluded.

Standard equipment for the entry grade Tavascan Endurance includes 19-inch alloy wheels, signature LED lighting, illuminated emblems front and rear, powered tailgate with kick sensor, keyless entry and sit-to-start, tri-zone climate control, a 15.0-inch infotainment screen, as well as wireless phone connectivity and charging.

Safety technology includes adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, semi-autonomous driving, exit assist, rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear acoustic parking sensors, a reversing camera, and more.

White Silver or Atacama Desert paint is included as a no-cost option.

The variant is further available with an Interior Package (+$4500) including 20-inch alloy wheels, 360-degree camera system, micro-fibre upholstery, front seat heating and position memory, illuminated scuff plates, LED ambient cabin lighting, and 12-speaker Sennheiser audio package.

For the all-wheel drive Tavascan VZ we find an increase in power to 250kW, lowering the 0-100km/h sprint to just 5.5 seconds (-1.3 seconds). Range for the variant is listed at a claimed 499km (WLTP).

The grade adds the features of the Interior Package, as well as 21-inch alloy wheels, Matrix LED headlights with adaptive high beam, and a fixed panoramic glass roof with electric sunblind.

Cupra will add its range-topping Extreme package to the Tavascan VZ grade from mid-2025, the $8000 option adding Nappa leather upholstery, Cup Racing front seats with ventilation, 21-inch alloy wheels with performance tyres, and the option of Tavascan Blue or Basalt Grey paint (an additional $800).

All Cupra battery electric models are backed by a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty and eight-year/160,000km high-voltage battery warranty. Pre-paid servicing plans are available from $990 for three years.
