If you’re trading in your Tesla, this could be a good replacement

The Cupra Tavascan, a coupe-style electric SUV, is a punchy performer.

The Cupra Tavascan VZ showcases the Spanish brand’s sense of style. 

What is it? The Cupra Tavascan is, yes, yet another electric SUV which will be compared with the Tesla Model Y. The big difference here is that the Tavascan is Spanish. Sort of. All Cupras are designed in Barcelona (the brand is a spin-off from VW Group’s Spanish SEAT car company) and many are built there, though this one is put together in China, like 70 per cent of the world’s EVs. The name is an homage to Catalonia, or at least to the small village of Tavascan within that Spanish region.

What does it cost? It’s $74,490 plus on-road costs for the dual-motor VZ model we sampled, plus another $800 for the premium paint (Tavascan Blue) on our car. The more affordable Endurance, with a single motor and a longer range, starts at $60,990 plus on-road costs.
