Cupra Tavascan: battery, versions and trims
The Cupra Tavascan is a 2024 electric coupe-style SUV built on the MEB platform. In this article, we look at the versions, power, batteries, trims, and what to consider when buying a few-year-old Tavascan.
Tavascan in brief
The Tavascan is Cupra's electric SUV with a sleek roofline, looking sportier than many rivals. It offers a spacious interior for five passengers, large light signatures, and a digital environment.
The model is very new, so there aren't many used options available. Due to its novelty, the key points are the remaining warranty, battery warranty, and software updates.
Which version to choose
The Tavascan comes in two main variants: a single-motor rear-wheel-drive and the more powerful dual-motor AWD VZ. The difference is felt in acceleration and price.
If you mostly drive in the city and on daily commutes, the single-motor version will suffice. The VZ is worth choosing for those who value dynamics and all-wheel grip.
Engines and transmissions
The Tavascan is an electric vehicle, so it has only electric motors and a single-speed transmission. The single-motor version has around 286 hp, while the VZ has around 340 hp and all-wheel drive.
The battery capacity is around 77 kWh, and the WLTP range is around 550 km in the single-motor version. The real-world range depends on speed, weather conditions, and driving style.
What to check when buying a used Tavascan
Check the software version and ensure all manufacturer updates have been applied. Test the screen, voice control, and driver assistance systems.
Request battery health data and test charging — both slow and fast. Ensure all charging cables are present.
Inspect the wheels and tyres, as powerful electric cars wear them out faster, and the body for painted details.
