Volkswagen Group’s Spanish electric performance brand Cupra detailed its product plans yesterday during an event that was mostly dedicated to the unveiling of its subcompact electric hatchback, the UrbanRebel.<\/p>\n

While the front-wheel-drive UrbanRebel<\/a> based on the MEB Small platform has been confirmed to launch in 2025 as a more emotional alternative to the Volkswagen ID.2, another Cupra electric vehicle will arrive a year earlier.<\/p>\n

We’re talking about the Tavascan SUV coupe, which made an appearance during the event boasting a refreshed design compared to the concept version unveiled at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The design has evolved since then, with the Cupra Tavascan gaining a revised front end with a less menacing bumper, a smaller “grille” and different headlights with a signature inspired by the Tavascan Extreme E Concept. Elsewhere, we can notice VW ID.4-style door handles replacing the concept’s retractable units, a pair of bulkier side mirrors, and smaller wheels.<\/p>\n

Not much information was revealed about the Tavascan production model, but Cupra did say it will be the vehicle that globalizes the brand, taking it to new markets.<\/p>\n

The Tavascan will follow the Cupra Born hatchback<\/a> as the brand’s second electric vehicle when it launches in 2024 and will play a major role in increasing the company’s sales to 500,000 units per year by 2025. That’s an ambitious target seeing as Cupra sold approximately 200,000 vehicles since its creation as a standalone brand in 2018.<\/p>\n

Cupra did not release any specifications of the Tavascan production model, but we do know it is based on Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform. The Tavascan Concept<\/a> packed a dual-motor electric powertrain making 302 horsepower, a similar output to the Volkswagen ID.5\u00a0GTX’s 295 horsepower.<\/p>\n

Since the Cupra brand<\/a> has a performance focus, the Tavascan is expected to offer only the more powerful dual-motor powertrains and bigger batteries available on the MEB architecture. If the ID.5 GTX is anything to go by, that should translate into decent performance as the VW model does 0-62 mph (0-100 km\/h) in 6.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 112 mph (180 km\/h). We’d expect the Tavascan to be slightly quicker than that, though.<\/p>\n
