  • World premiere of the CUPRA Tavascan at the Formula E weekend in Berlin: CUPRA’s first all-electric SUV coupe and the brand’s dream coming true
  • More than 300,000 cars sold since 2018, and record Q1 in 2023 with over 46,500 units

CUPRA has unveiled the next stage of its evolution at its Exponential Impulse event in Berlin, just ahead of the Formula E weekend. With the brand marking its fifth anniversary this year, it showcased the world premiere of its first all-electric SUV coupe, the CUPRA Tavascan, to be launched to the market in 2024.

CUPRA also revealed the CUPRA DarkRebel, a virtual sports car designed for a future city that is no longer contained by physical limits, which can be configured by the CUPRA Tribe.

CUPRA also officially goes live with the Metahype, the brand’s experience space in the metaverse.

Finally, the brand launched the Exponential Experience – a unique experience at the wheel of the CUPRA UrbanRebel Racing Concept, where the physical and the digital worlds meet.

“Today is all about CUPRA’s passion to transform dreams into a reality,” said Wayne Griffiths, CEO of CUPRA. “CUPRA is still a young brand. And yet, in just five years we have hit one record after another at a remarkable pace, thanks to our drive and determination. Since the launch of the brand, CUPRA has sold over 300,000 cars and is the fastest growing brand in Europe. The brand achieved record sales in Q1 2023 with over 46,500, driving the profitability of SEAT”.

World premiere of the CUPRA Tavascan

The main highlight of the Exponential Impulse event was the world premiere of the CUPRA Tavascan, the brand’s first all-electric SUV coupe, and its second fully electric model after the CUPRA Born. It embodies CUPRA’s electrified vision and remains faithful to the 2019 concept car, proving that the Tavascan is not a response to change, but a vehicle that creates it.

“Back when we presented the Tavascan concept at the IAA in Frankfurt 2019, it was our dream car – a manifesto for everything we wanted CUPRA to become,” said Wayne Griffiths. “Since then, we’ve kept believing that if we dream it, we can create it. Well, today, that dream comes true.”

The CUPRA Tavascan represents the impulse for a new striking design language: the exterior design delivers athletic and sporty proportions. From the front, the matrix LED with the three-triangle eye signature is instantly recognisable. The interior is a piece of architecture thanks to the characterful central spine together with the slim air vents – almost invisible.

As an emotional and driving oriented SUV, the CUPRA Tavascan features DCC Sport dynamic chassis technology, sport suspension and progressive steering. These attributes, and the addition of performance tyres mounted on 21’’ forged alloy wheels deliver a unique sporty driving experience.

Based on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform, the brand’s first all-electric SUV coupe will be available with two power outputs: 210kW (286PS) and 250kW (340PS); the higher power output version adds dual-motor all-wheel drive, delivering performance with maximum traction. The CUPRA Tavascan VZ can reach 50km/h in just 2.4seconds (0 to 100km/h in just 5.6 seconds).

It also provides enough capacity for a range of around 550km thanks to the 77kWh net capacity battery pack. The CUPRA Tavascan can add an additional 100km of range in as little as 7 minutes. And when the battery drops to only 10% it can be replenished to 80% in just under half an hour using at least a 135kW charging point.

The CUPRA Tavascan features a 15” infotainment system – the largest so far in a CUPRA model – with a newly designed and developed Human Machine Interface (HMI). The CUPRA Tavascan also integrates for the first time ever a high-fidelity 12-speaker audio sound system developed in collaboration with premium audio firm Sennheiser.

Designed and developed in Barcelona, the CUPRA Tavascan will be produced at the Volkswagen Group’s Anhui factory in China, a state-of-the-art innovation hub for e-mobility, and will be launched in 2024, with a yearly target of more than 70,000 cars sold.
