Introducing the new CUPRA Tavascan
If you want an electric SUV that looks sharp, feels quick, and still works for everyday life, the new CUPRA Tavascan is built for exactly that. It's CUPRA's bold all-electric SUV-coup�, and it feels like a step forward from day one, from the way it delivers power, to the way the cabin layout puts the key controls right where you want them.
This latest model also brings a more driver-focused digital setup than many electric SUVs, with a 77kWh usable battery across the range, fast public charging capability, and a strong safety score to back it up. If you're moving into an EV for the first time, it's the kind of car that makes the switch feel straightforward.
When you're ready, you can book a test drive with Vertu and see how the Tavascan feels on your own roads.

New CUPRA Tavascan tech and convenience
- 15-inch infotainment and HMI (Human Machine Interface): this is the largest screen ever fitted to a CUPRA, and the "floating" layout means your maps, music, and key shortcuts sit high and clear in your line of sight. In everyday driving, that helps you glance at directions quickly at busy roundabouts, rather than hunting through menus.
- Redesigned interface with custom shortcuts and widgets: you can set the screen up around how you drive, so the things you use most (navigation, media, charging info) stay easy to reach.
- Always-available climate controls: keeping key climate functions visible means you spend less time tapping through screens when the weather changes.
- Wireless smartphone connectivity (where fitted): useful if you prefer your usual apps for music and navigation without trailing cables
- Wireless phone charging (where fitted): handy for keeping your phone topped up on longer journeys
- DCC Sport Suspension with progressive steering: this setup gives the Tavascan a firmer, more controlled feel when the road surface changes. On a typical UK route � patched tarmac, roundabouts, and fast A-road bends � it helps the car react quickly and cleanly to steering inputs, so you feel more connected and settled behind the wheel.
Can I buy a new CUPRA Tavascan on finance?

New CUPRA Tavascan FAQs
What warranty cover should I expect on a new CUPRA Tavascan?
New CUPRA models in the UK are commonly supplied with a longer warranty package, and the Tavascan also has a separate battery warranty as you'd expect with an electric vehicle. For many UK cars registered from April 2024, CUPRA coverage is listed as up to five years or 90,000 miles (whichever comes first), with an EV battery warranty often listed as eight years or 100,000 miles. Always confirm the exact warranty terms for the specific car you order.
Is the new CUPRA Tavascan easy to park in tight spaces?
For an SUV, it feels manageable in day-to-day parking thanks to the higher driving position and the way the digital setup keeps key views and prompts clear. If your chosen trim includes parking sensors and a camera system, it takes a lot of the stress out of reversing into tighter bays and dealing with awkward kerbs.
What insurance group is the new CUPRA Tavascan in?
Insurance groups can vary by insurer, location, driver profile, and exact specification. As an example, the Tavascan V2 (77kWh, 286PS) is often quoted as in insurance group 28, but it's always worth getting a quote on the exact trim and options you want.
Are the tech features of the new CUPRA Tavascan easy to use?
The Tavascan's big 15-inch screen helps here, because key information sits high and clear and you can set up shortcuts for the things you use every day. The redesigned interface also makes it easier to jump between navigation, media, and driving info without digging through layers of menus.
Which new CUPRA Tavascan trim should I choose?
If you want the simplest route into Tavascan ownership with strong range, V1 is a great place to start. V2 suits customers who want more comfort and higher-end tech. If you like the idea of extra traction and a quicker feel, the all-wheel-drive VZ trims are the ones to look at, especially if you drive regularly in wet conditions or you simply want the most performance-focused setup.
Should I choose a fixed or flexible servicing plan for a new CUPRA Tavascan?
A fixed plan can be the easiest option if you like predictable costs and you want to keep everything straightforward. A flexible plan can suit you if your mileage changes year to year and you prefer to pay based on what you need, when you need it. Either way, keeping up with the recommended schedule helps protect long-term value, and you can explore options through CUPRA servicing.
