Cupra Tavascan 2026 Interior

Step inside the Tavascan and you’re greeted by a high-tech, driver-centric cockpit with copper accents and a central spine.

Ambient lighting (customisable in colour) runs along the dash and doors, while the 15-inch touchscreen and 5.3-inch digital driver display dominate the dash.

Heated steering, tri-zone climate control and the available 12-speaker Sennheiser audio system elevate comfort and entertainment.

Cupra Tavascan 2026 Speed

The rear-drive Tavascan Endurance sprints from 0–100km/h in 6.8 seconds, thanks to its 210kW/545Nm electric motor.

Opt for the dual-motor VZ, and that drops to 5.5 seconds, courtesy of its 250kW set-up and all-wheel drive traction.

Cupra Tavascan 2026 Boot Space

The Tavascan provides a practical 540 litres of boot space with all seats in use.

Fold the rear seats down and you’ll unlock up to 1550 litres to the roof, making it suitable for larger loads and weekend getaways.

An optional dual-level floor further enhances flexibility.

Cupra Tavascan 2026 Engine

The Tavascan Endurance uses a single-motor rear-wheel-drive set-up delivering 210kW, while the VZ employs dual motors and all-wheel drive for 250kW and the same 545Nm torque.

Both drive systems use a single-speed automatic transmission with regenerative braking controlled via steering paddles.

Cupra Tavascan 2026 Colours

Australian buyers can choose from Tavascan Blue, Atacama Desert, Basalt Grey and White Silver.

Note that some colours, like Tavascan Blue and Basalt Grey, are classified as premium finishes and may incur an extra cost.
