Cupra is not the end of Seat. Cupra gives Seat a future and the future is electric. THE FUTURE IS CUPRA We can set on March 23, 2022 as the day Seat confessed. He did it through his CEO, Wayne Griffiths. That day The statements were pronounced that are on these lines in an event before the press. We didn’t know it yet but it was the first stone of everything that would come later. Almost three years later, we have climbed into Cupra Tavascanthe great electric car of the brand. The one with whom they want to certify what is coupra and where the company walks. What they want to convey with those five letters that have ended up taking their own shape and an important role within the Volkswagen group itself.

An aspirational car with the feet on the ground “We know how the electric car market is in Spain, we know that the Cupra Tavascan will not be a car with great volumes but it does help us to demonstrate what Cupra is and where we want to go. It is a car that serves us to project and leave Of course you can expect the brand in the future. “ With these words, those responsible for Cupra explained their illusion with the Cupra Tavascan. We talked about how interesting the car seemed to me, of the risky of the proposal and the originality of it, not so easy to find in the market right now. Cupra risk and cupra, for my liking, wins. It makes sense to have put all the meat on the grill with this electric car. Right now, the brand has the Ateca and León coupra as reminiscences of its past. On the way they have added the CUPRA BORN Like its first electric car, the Terramar Cupraas a SUV option for those who do not dare to make the leap to this technology, the Formentor Cupralike the great supervants, and now the cupra tavascan as the great car of its offer. The latter in an electric SUV of 4.64 meters with a Coupé fall and very aggressive appearance in its body, especially in the front. The car shares origin with Volkswagen ID.5 either Skoda Enyaq Coupé But the first impression seen from the outside is that the car has personality, like more or like less. Those same sensations are transmitted to the interior. The dashboard plays with the shapes and is Absolutely dominated by a central column that leaves from the bottom of the screen and in which the button has been arranged Warning. This arrangement creates a kind of triangle that builds the entire central structure under which the wireless load for the mobile phone and two USB-C shots is located. The design helps to separate the spaces of driver and co -driver, giving some sports air that is reaffirmed with copper moldings, the drilled upholstery of the doors with those same small triangles and a steering wheel that leaves two physical buttons to change to change the driving modes. Behind, cams manage energy recovery. It is here where, without a doubt, we have the worst inside. The steering wheel buttons are tactile that we have already seen in other Volkswagen models and that have a haptic response. However, they are not precise, we can unintentionally activate them by maneuvering with the steering wheel and force them to deviate their gaze when we want to select the specific functions. On the left, we have the tactile light selector (which is also not seen with the naked eye from the driver’s position) and the two physical controls for the control of the four windows (skip from one to another activating and deactivating a button that … Indeed, it is tactile). The touch buttons for the lights and controls of the windows come back Ahead, the 5.3 -inch screen remains that detracts from the rest of the cabin. As in Volkswagen’s models, it gives a worse impression because it is not sheltered (as in the Skoda Elroq) and that feeling of going “in the air” increases the difference in size with the huge 15 -inch panel that it has to the right. The head-up Display is good and reads correctly, as in the rest of the German group models. It is worth noting the good work with the central screen. Again, we lack physical buttons to control functions as simple … Read more
