CarTell take
We haven't driven the Tavascan yet. On paper, V2 is the sweet spot for daily buyers, Endurance is the answer if you need the range, VZ is the one to drive. The 135 kW DC peak is the genuine weakness in the segment.
Why consider it
- 523 km WLTP on the Endurance, real road-trip range for an MEB car.
- 15-inch landscape touchscreen, the largest in any current MEB car.
- Sport bucket seats, copper accents and a properly distinct cabin design.
What to know
- 135 kW DC peak is well behind the 800V Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6.
- Cupra dealer network smaller than VW or Hyundai.
- VZ at $75,490 plus on-roads overlaps Polestar 4 and Tesla Model Y Performance territory.
Who it suits
Style-led buyers drawn to the copper accents and coupe roofline, VZ hot-hatch graduates wanting the 250 kW AWD and DCC adaptive damping, long-distance EV buyers picking the Endurance 523 km WLTP, and families of four wanting a 540 L boot.
