Pricing for the 2025 Cupra Tavascan has been revealed, with the sporty electric SUV to go on sale in April from $60,990 before on-road costs.

While Australian specifications have yet to be locked in by Cupra, it’s expected the starting price will apply to the Tavascan Endurance – powered by a single 210kW electric motor powering the rear wheels.

Fed by a 77kWh battery, Cupra claims the Tavascan Endurance can drive up to 534 kilometres on a single charge in overseas markets.

Pricing hasn’t been announced yet for the dual-motor Tavascan VZ, which offers a combined 250kW for a claimed 0-100km/h time of 5.5 seconds.

Driving range for the Tavascan VZ is up to 499 kilometres using the same 77kWh battery, with the family SUV based on Volkswagen Group’s MEB electric-vehicle platform.

While Cupra initially indicated the Tavascan would be in the “sub $70,000” price range, the model is only $1000 more than the smaller Cupra Born electric hatch – and undercuts the compact Formentor SUV plug-in hybrid (ignoring temporary run-out pricing).

The Cupra Tavascan is the latest in a strong push by Volkswagen Group brands in Australia – which include Volkswagen and Skoda – to offer local buyers a choice of competitive petrol, plug-in hybrid, and electric models.

At $60,990 before on-road costs, the Cupra Tavascan undercuts the best-selling Tesla Model Y by more than $2400 – while offering a larger battery and better driving range.
