Cupra Australia has announced local pricing and specification for the updated Tavascan electric medium SUV, which will be available locally from the end of August 2026. Headlining the changes to the Tavascan is that it’s now $5500 less expensive thanks to the addition of a new entry-level V model, but the whole range has seen improvements with more tech and added user-friendliness inside.

The new entry-level Tavascan V is priced from $55,490 plus on-road costs, which is $5500 less than the previous entry point to the range. Unlike the now-mid-spec Endurance, which uses a 210kW motor and 77kWh battery, the V instead uses a 140kW motor that’s still located on the rear wheels and paired with a smaller 58kWh LFP battery.

According to Cupra, the Tavascan V can travel up to 414km on a full charge (WLTP), which is 106km less than the Endurance, while it can be DC fast charged at up to 105kW for a claimed 10-80 per cent charge time of as little as 26 minutes.

Despite being the new entry-level model, Cupra says that the new Tavascan V is still quite well equipped and includes the contents of the former Interior Package that used to be optionally available on the Endurance, which includes ‘Dinamica’ upholstery, front seats with heating and memory functionality, Sennheiser premium audio, a 360-degree camera and 20-inch alloy wheels.

In addition to the new model, inside the Tavascan are a number of changes, including a larger 10.25-inch digital driver’s display replacing the former 5.3-inch unit, new physical buttons on the steering wheel replacing the former haptic touch items, a redesigned wireless phone charger housing, newly-electric air vent controls and new traffic sign recognition.

Also according to Cupra, numerous software refinements have also been introduced throughout the Tavascan, including updates to infotainment functionality and audio system performance.

The Tavascan Endurance continues as before, though it now receives the former Interior Package and new launch control as standard. As a result, its pricing has climbed by $5500 to $66,490 plus on-road costs.

At the top of the range, the 250kW dual-motor all-wheel drive VZ also continues unchanged, though thanks to the upgrades inside, it’s now priced $1000 higher at $75,490 plus on-road costs.

2026 Cupra Tavascan pricing (excluding on-road costs):

V$55,490 (new)
Endurance$66,490 (+$5500)
VZ$75,490 (+$1000)

The updated Cupra Tavascan will hit local Cupra dealerships starting from late August 2026.
