Cupra has confirmed a new entry-level Tavascan V for its local lineup, reducing entry into the Spanish marque’s electric mid-size SUV range to $55,490 before on-road costs. Its introduction comes amid small tweaks and price increases for the rest of the range.
The Key Details
- 2027 Cupra Tavascan V RWD detailed as new entry-level grade
- Priced from $55,490; deliveries to begin late August
- Prices are up for Endurance and VZ in exchange for more equipment
- Endurance and VZ driving range reduced
The Finer Details
Powering the new Tavascan V is a rear-mounted 140kW electric motor and a 58kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery pack, a combination good for a claimed 414km of range.
Standard equipment for the V includes 20-inch ‘Heckla’ alloys, heated front seats with memory and ‘Dark Night Dinamica’ upholstery, a 360-degree camera, and a Sennheiser audio system.
Meanwhile, the mid-spec Endurance model’s previously optional $4500 Interior Package is now standard, upping its price to $66,490.
But while there are no changes to its 210kW rear motor, it now runs a smaller 77kWh battery pack (down from 82kWh) for a reduced 520km driving range (down from 534km).
The range-topping VZ retains its dual-motor 250kW all-wheel drive powertrain, with a revised claimed driving range of 509km (up from 505km) despite there being no apparent mechanical changes.
Both the Endurance and VZ gain launch control, while every variant now comes standard with a 10.25-inch instrument cluster, replacing the previous model’s 5.3-inch display.
The steering wheel also adopts physical buttons to replace haptic controls, and a redesigned wireless phone charging pad now features alongside electrically operated air vents.
Speed sign recognition has been added across the board, as have software updates to the entertainment and audio system, which Cupra says enhances the ownership experience.
The Road Ahead
Deliveries of the new Tavascan V will kick off in late August, where it’ll undercut the top-selling Tesla Model Y (from $58,900) but not the BYD Sealion 7 (from $54,990).
