Cupra Tavascan

Tuesday, Mar 11, 2025 12:00 PM

Like the Cupra Born but find it too small? Martorell now has an answer. The Cupra Tavascan may seem like yet another VW Group MEB-platform clone, but Cupra is often able to extract more out of the shared bones. Since its launch in 2021, the Cupra Born has become something of an Autocar favourite. An unexpected one, you might say, because the mechanical package is very similar indeed to the worthy but unspectacular Volkswagen ID 3. Clearly there’s a bit of magic in the way Cupra can trim and set up a car.It is therefore a logical corollary that Cupra can do the same thing with the VW ID 4. After all, the dynamic fruits of the larger version of the MEB platform are ripe for the picking. It has already spawned the sensible and roomy but unexciting Skoda Enyaq and the premium-ish Audi Q4 E-tron – surely there’s room for a sporty version that’s genuinely good to drive and amps up the luxury at the same time.Enter the Cupra Tavascan. Call it a plus-sized Cupra Born, or a VW ID 4 with a dusting of cayenne pepper: we’re expecting it to improve on the formula in subtle but significant ways.
