From the photos, the Tavascan is certainly a striking looking vehicle. And if its anything like other Cupra’s, then it will place driver engagement high on the priority list.

There are two models the Endurance and VZ as well as a number of option packages to allow owners to have more individualisation.

The endurance is a rear wheel drive and the VZ is AWD. Range depends on what model and package buyers chose. The WLTP figures are from 463 through to 534km.

Power available is up to 250kW and 545Nm of torque. The Tavascan VZ will go from 0-100km/h in a reasonable 5.5 seconds.

Interested buyers can pre order now and deliveries start from Mid-April.

Every CUPRA BEV includes a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty^~, an eight-year, 160,000km high-voltage battery warranty, and the option to purchase affordable pre-paid servicing plans from just $990 RRP for three years^#.

The issue for all BEV brands is that there is an increasing supply of models from many brands, all competing for a slowing consumer demand.

For those that don’t really know much about the Cupra brand, its an offshoot of VW. And the Leon is like the Golf.

Now the VZx model is the sports version with a healthy 221 kilowatts of power and 400 Newton metres of torque running through a seven-speed direct shift gearbox driving the front wheels.

Its reasonably quick at a time of 5.7 seconds from 0-100kmh. It also happens to be economical as well. This is a good combination.

What is more impressive is how it drives. It’s relaxed around town but transforms when asked. This is a car that is fun to drive. Its responds well and driver engagement is excellent.

Inside its comfortable and familiar to anyone that knows what a VW looks like. There are many shared parts. The flat bottom steering wheel feels great, and the sports style seats are supportive.

Rear seats are a bit tight and boot space is aimed more for two people.

The Cupra Leon VZx is priced from $65,690 dollars plus the usual costs. This is a few thousand dollars less than its VW sister. But the VW has a slightly different engine tune. Overall I really enjoyed the time in the Cupra. They have something different about them.
