The Cupra Tavascan electric coupe SUV has finally been priced for Australia, with the entry-level Endurance to start from a relatively sharp $60,990 before on-road costs.
Available to pre-order from 12:00pm AEDT this Thursday, February 27, the 2025 Cupra Tavascan is the Spanish brand’s second all-electric vehicle after the smaller Born hatchback, and rides on the same MEB electric vehicle architecture as other VW Group products like the Skoda Enyaq and Volkswagen ID.4/ID.5.

The Tavascan will be available in two distinct variants – one single motor, one dual motor – each available with an optional upgrade package.
Claimed WLTP driving range is quoted at 499 kilometres for the dual-motor VZ, while the rear-drive single-motor Endurance offers a claimed 534 kilometres.
While Cupra is a proudly Barcelona-based brand, the Tavascan will actually be sourced out of Anhui, China, where it’s built alongside the near-identical Volkswagen ID.UNYX which is sold exclusively in the Chinese market.
The Volkswagen Anhui facility is a joint venture between Volkswagen and the JAC Group.
Deliveries of the new Cupra Tavascan will commence in April.
Model | Price before on-road costs |
---|---|
2025 Cupra Tavascan Endurance | $60,990 |
2025 Cupra Tavascan VZ | $74,490 |
The Cupra Tavascan significantly undercuts the related Skoda Enyaq Coupe, which while admittedly larger dimensionally starts from $69,990 before on-road costs with the same single-motor RWD drivetrain.
Additionally, the also Chinese-produced facelifted Tesla Model Y RWD Launch Series is priced from $63,400 plus on-roads.
Two drivetrain variants will be available in Australia, each drawing upon a 77kWh (net) lithium-ion battery pack.

Details like energy efficiency of local models are still to be confirmed. Further, the VZ with Extreme Package sees claimed range reduce to 463 kilometres due to the performance tyres that come with the 21-inch wheels.
Cupra has confirmed, however, that the Tavascan features a drag coefficient of 0.26Cd
Cupra Australia hasn’t officially confirmed dimensions for our market, other than 540 litres of cargo capacity behind the rear seats. Global figures for the external dimensions have been quoted below.

Cupra Australia hasn’t detailed whether the longer five-year service package will match the smaller Born’s $1590 quoted price, nor the Tavascan’s service intervals.
For reference, the Born quotes 12-month/15,000km intervals, while the Skoda Enyaq has 24-month/30,000km intervals.
The Cupra Tavascan doesn’t have an ANCAP safety rating yet, but it received five stars in 2024 Euro NCAP testing.
