NEW CUPRA TAVASCAN OVERVIEW 2024 #cupra #tavascan #electric_car #car_2024

The Cupra Tavascan is the electric SUV that will be the second 'zero-emissions' version in the manufacturer's range. It follows the compact Cupra Born and now takes as a reference a coupé SUV with all the magic and sportiness inherited from the rest of its family.

Cupra's first electric coupé SUV will be manufactured at the Volkswagen Group's Chinese plant in Anhui. The Tavascan has been designed and developed in Martorell and will be offered in power levels of 286 and 340 hp. Its most capable version, called VZ, has all-wheel drive and the maximum range advertised - for its most efficient option - is around 550 kilometres.

The series-production Cupra Tavascan borrows virtually the entire design language shown in Frankfurt as a prototype. Its sharp, sporty lines show muscle in an imposing electric vehicle that uses the light identity of the three triangles in its Matrix LED headlamps. The front end also features carefully crafted aerodynamics and a bonnet with an illuminated logo.

Nor can we leave out the racing references in the new Cupra Tavascan, which is inspired to some extent by the appearance of the Cupra Tavascan XE of the Extreme E championship to finish off the touch of sportiness expected in the model.
The alloy wheels are available in 19, 20 and 21-inch sizes, while the prototype unveiled in 2019 had 22-inch wheels.
The rear of the first coupé SUV also features the characteristic three-triangle headlamps, and the logo is once again illuminated, something that has not yet been seen much in other competitor models. The welcome light and LED door handle lights are also available.

The body colours offered on this car are Tavascan Blue, Silver White, Atacama Desert, Uranus Grey, Hypernova Red and Century Bronze Matt.
The Cupra Tavascan measures 4.64 metres long, 1.86 metres wide and 1.60 metres high, with a wheelbase that extends to 2.77 metres.

The interior of the Crupa Tavascan is as striking and avant-garde as its external appearance. The perception of quality and spaciousness is combined with a series of 'floating' elements that start from a main spine.
The standard 'bacquet' style sports seats already bring sportiness to the cabin and, if that's not enough for some, the 'CUPBucket' seats, which exclusively reserve the interior colour Enceladus Grey Metallic.

Sustainability plays an important role in the manufacture of these seats, which use lighter materials composed of up to 90 per cent recycled polyester.
A generous, centrally positioned 15-inch floating screen is a real eye-catcher in the cabin. This makes it the largest ever used in a Cupra model. The colours of the multimedia system and a 5.3-inch instrument cluster, also fully digitalised and with HUD functions, are matched by LED ambient lighting throughout the interior.
Opening the electric tailgate of the Cupra Tavascan - which can be done via the so-called Virtual Pedal - gives access to a generously sized boot, 540 litres to be more specific.

Among the options available on the Tavascan are stability control that can be completely switched off or set to sporty settings and an adaptive chassis system - DDC Sport - that can also be configured to suit the driver's driving style.
The 12-speaker sound system is from Senheiser and offers a quality that is worthy of the best sound experience for the occupants.

Connected car services are available on the Cupra Tavascan through Cupra Connect and Cupra App, with free online services for the first three years.
Among the driving aids offered on the electric SUV are adaptive cruise assist, traffic sign recognition, fatigue detection, 360° camera and emergency assistance, to name but a few. Other active safety systems include the automatic braking assistant - with turn and dodge assistance - and Connected Travel Assist technology, capable of actively keeping the car in lane or even performing an assisted lane change on the motorway.

The propulsion system of the Cupra Tavascan will depend on the version chosen. The entry-level version is called Endurance and uses an electric motor mounted on the rear axle that develops 286 hp and 545 Newton metres of torque.
The top-of-the-range option, called VZ, adds another 109 hp front motor for a combined output of 340 hp and an extra 134 Newton metres of torque. This version allows the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/hour in 5.6 seconds.

There is a choice of Range, Comfort, Performance, CUPRA, Individual and Traction driving modes, the latter of which is only available for the Cupra Tavascan VZ with all-wheel drive.
To power the mechanics, the Tavascan Endurance has a 77 kilowatt-hour battery that can achieve a range of 550 kilometres per full charge. The Tavascan VZ has the same battery capacity, but its type-approved range drops to 520 kilometres. Four regenerative paddle shifters allow a choice of four different levels to achieve these figures.
