Spyshots Cupra Tavascan

The Cupra Tavascan will be launched in 2024, an electric SUV-like with a steeply sloping roofline. In these spy photos, the new electric competitor of cars like the Volkswagen ID5 has been caught outside the door for the first time in production form.

The run-up to the market launch of the Cupra Tavascan is quite long. Back in 2019, Cupra showed the Tavascan Concept, a study model with which the brand previewed a new electric SUV, after the Formentor, the second model of the brand from which you cannot buy another version within the Volkswagen Group with largely the same body. In mid-2022, Cupra already showed the pre-production version of the Tavascan during a presentation where the Audi Q3-related Terramar and the smaller electric UrbanRebel also made their debut. AutoWeek could already show you the production version of the Cupra Tavascan on a patent image from all angles, but we have never really seen the car that should be on the market in 2024 in public. In fact, so far Cupra sent the Tavascan dressed as a Volkswagen ID4 out the door. Now Cupra has finally started testing with the production version.

The Cupra Tavascan will include lighting with a light signature consisting of triangles. Also striking is the relatively sharp angle at which the A-pillar merges into the roof. The Cupra Tavascan will be built in China for the European market and will of course be placed on a variant of the MEB platform. It is very likely that this is already the modernized variant of that modular base intended for EVs, the MEB + version. The current MEB models have up to 77 kWh large battery packs and are of course available in various power variants. At the top of the power ladder are now the 299 hp top versions, but at least a more powerful variant will be added. For example, the sporty GTX versions of the ID3 and – yes – the ID Buzz 340 hp strong. The Cupra Tavascan will also probably get a GTX equivalent with that power.
