CUPRA TAVASCAN - THE SKODA ENYAQ'S STYLISH COUSIN. IS IT THE BETTER CHOICE?

EV Channels Review

The Cupra Tavascan emerges as a surprisingly compelling option within the MEB platform family, offering a distinct character that sets it apart from its siblings. The reviewer praises its striking, sporty design, both inside and out, highlighting the innovative use of sustainable materials and the well-executed interior styling, which manages to feel special despite shared components. Practicality is deemed sufficient for family needs, with good boot space and comfortable rear seating. On the driving front, while the single-motor version might lack outright performance for the Cupra badge, engaging the 'Cupra' driving mode significantly sharpens the car's dynamics, offering a more engaging and planted experience. The reviewer notes the chassis balance and steering response are commendable, though the car's weight is noticeable when pushed hard. Criticisms include the odd brake pedal feel and the premium pricing, especially for higher trims. Despite these points, the Tavascan is lauded as a well-rounded, characterful electric SUV that justifies its existence and stands out as a strong contender, potentially the best on the MEB platform until further comparison.
