CUPRA Tavascan

The Tavascan is more than an EV—it's a statement: aggressive exterior lines, a cockpit-like interior, and dual-motor thrills (VZ) paired with practical space.

    The CUPRA Tavascan VZ has one obvious advantage

    “As usual, Cupra has knocked it out of the park when it comes to styling, and it may be the most compelling reason to buy the Tavascan in an incredibly competitive EV market.”

    2026 Cupra Tavascan | EV With Attitude

    “The CUPRA Tavascan has arrived in New Zealand, and it's one of the boldest electric SUVs to hit our roads. In this Giltrap TV drive review, we take a close look at CUPRA's flagship EV — from its striking design and sci-fi-inspired interior to its 250kW dual-motor performance and real-world range.”

    Cupra Tavascan first drive: nuts and volts and more

    “Concept car looks' is an overused phrase, but it's fair to say Cupra followed through on the Tavascan show car from 2019.”

    First drive: Cupra Tavascan, stunning electric car arrives in NZ

    “And indeed, the Tavascan is quite a fun EV to sling around a fun piece of tarmac. It's lightfooted, and more communicative than most other electrics in its group.”

      2025 CUPRA Formentor VZ Review

      "It's still a proper riot, especially in the more vibrant Cupra mode where it's amongst the fastest, most dynamic and tastiest compact crossovers available at present"

      Cupra Formentor full review: V impressive

      "Formentor has always had an appeal all its own, partly because it's a bit of a conversation piece. Is it a tall hatch, low SUV or just an all-round genre-bender? It's hard to put it in a box, and that's kind of cool."
