CUPRA Tavascan MY26: New Base Variant from $55,490, Three Specs

CUPRA Australia has confirmed pricing and specifications for the updated MY26 Tavascan lineup, headlined by a new entry variant called the Tavascan V. The three-model range starts from $55,490 and arrives in Australia from late August 2026.

The Tavascan V brings a lower price point to CUPRA's electric SUV range, while the existing Endurance and VZ receive additional standard equipment and a technology update across the board.

MY26 Tavascan Pricing

Optional extras include the Extreme Pack for the VZ at $8,000, premium paint at $800, and matte paint at $3,150. Midnight Black Metallic is now included at no extra cost, and Dark Void is available across the full range.

Tavascan V: New Entry-Level Variant

The Tavascan V is a new rear-wheel-drive variant built around a 140kW electric motor and a 58kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. CUPRA quotes a WLTP range of approximately 414km for Australian conditions.

DC fast charging tops out at 105kW, with a 10-to-80 percent charge taking approximately 26 minutes under ideal conditions. AC charging is supported at 11kW. The V also supports V2L (vehicle-to-load) at 3.6kW via a Type 2 adapter, and Plug and Charge via ISO 15118.

Performance figures from European spec show 0-100km/h in 8.6 seconds and a top speed of 160km/h. Torque output is 350Nm. Australian performance figures are not confirmed at time of publication.

Standard equipment on the V closely mirrors what was previously available on the Endurance with its optional Interior Package. That includes memory and heated front seats, Sennheiser premium audio, Dark Night Dinamica seat trim, a 360-degree camera, and 20-inch Heckla alloy wheels.

Tavascan Endurance: Interior Package Now Standard

The Endurance uses a 210kW rear motor and 77kWh battery. CUPRA quotes an updated WLTP range of approximately 520km for MY26. Note: the CUPRA Australia website currently shows a pre-update figure of 531km; the 520km figure is from CUPRA's MY26 product announcement.

The previously optional Interior Package is now included as standard on the Endurance, adding value without a price increase. The Endurance also gains launch control for MY26, a feature previously reserved for the VZ.

DC fast charging on the Endurance is rated at 135kW, per the CUPRA Australia configurator.

Tavascan VZ: Dual Motor Flagship

The VZ uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing 250kW. CUPRA quotes a WLTP range of approximately 509km for MY26, or 477km with the optional Extreme Pack fitted. The VZ reaches 0-100km/h in 5.5 seconds.

Like the Endurance, the VZ gains launch control as standard for MY26. DC fast charging is rated at 135kW.

Technology Updates Across the Range

Every MY26 Tavascan receives a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit, replacing the previous 5.3-inch driver display. The new screen offers more customisation options and improved visibility of key vehicle information.

The multifunction steering wheel switches from haptic touch controls to physical buttons, addressing a common criticism raised about the current model.

Availability

All three MY26 Tavascan variants are due in Australia from late August 2026. CUPRA Australia has not confirmed delivery timelines beyond that window.
