The Cupra Tavascan is available in two grades for Australia – the aptly named Endurance and racier VZ flagship.
Sharply priced, the Endurance employs a rear-axle-mounted electric motor for rear-wheel drive, and comes standard with a usefully large battery capacity for longer range driving than many rivals around its price point.
Designed in Spain and using Volkswagen Group German engineering, the Tavascan is made in China and is pitched as a medium-sized coupe SUV.
Equipment levels include autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane-support systems, seven airbags and even a handy vehicle exit warning system.
You’ll also find digital instrumentation, adaptive cruise control, three-zone climate control, sports front seats, a heated steering wheel, a 15-inch touchscreen, reverse camera, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, wireless phone charging, a quartet of USB-C ports, a hands-free powered tailgate, front and rear parking sensors, and 19-inch alloys.
An Interior Package option ushers in heated and powered front seats with memory, a surround-view camera, microfibre cabin trim, more colourful ambient lighting, a 12-speaker Sennheiser audio upgrade and 20-inch wheels.
Sadly, however, a tyre mobility kit takes the place of a spare wheel.
The electric motor makes 210kW of power and 545Nm of torque, and sends drive to the rear wheels via a single-speed transmission, for a 0-100km/h sprint of 6.8 seconds, on the way to a top speed of 180km/h.
The battery pack, meanwhile consists of an 82kWh-gross/77kWh-useable Lithium-ion set-up, nestled within a 400-volt EV-only architecture that the VW Group dubs MEB.
As its name implies, the Endurance offers more driving range than the VZ, with a WLTP-verified 534km. Its combined average consumption figures are between 15.2 and 16.0kWh/100km.
Finally, the Tavascan comes with a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, with five years of roadside assistance and eight years/160,000km coverage for the battery.
Service intervals are every 24 months or 30,000km.
