CUPRA Tavascan VZ - Review & Drive of the Spicy Spanish SUV

Get a complete review and drive of the CUPRA Tavascan VZ, the high-performance all-wheel-drive version of CUPRA's stunning electric SUV!

We explore the avant-garde interior, highlighted by its unique central spine design, 15-inch infotainment screen, and premium Sennheiser audio system. Under the skin, the VZ delivers 340 hp and a 77 kWh battery, and we put its dynamic chassis control and all-wheel-drive grip to the test on twisty roads and motorways.
