Chasing Cars’ Dan Gardner heads to Spain to drive the new flagship of the Cupra lineup, the Tavascan electric midsize SUV.

With Tesla Model Y firmly in its crosshairs, the top-dog dual-motor Tavascan VZ on test brings a bold and fresh look to the Spanish brand’s machinery, both outside and in.

With 250kW/679Nm dual-motor drive and claims of 5.5sec 0-100km/h performance and a peak range of 522km, the Tavascan VZ promises to bring style and spice to the family-friendly EV segment. And all at a price that looks closely aligned with its Tesla nemesis.

Does the Tavascan have the substance to mirror the bold styling? Watch on to find out.
