This easily explains why this Tavascan \u2013 a model that was otherwise unveiled in full earlier this year \u2013 is still testing with its badges covered in tape. We know for a fact the electric coupe-like SUV will be assembled by Volkswagen in the Chinese province of Anhui in December and exported to Europe. And while the Cupra brand won\u2019t be sold in the People\u2019s Republic, this specific vehicle will be available with a different name and under a different brand. We don’t know the name of this new brand yet, though.<\/p>\n
The first model of the yet unnamed marque will be completely identical to the Tavascan in terms of what\u2019s under the skin \u2013 or, at least, these are the current expectations. If this turns out to be the case, this means we are looking at an MEB-based vehicle that is slightly longer, wider, and lower than the VW ID.5. <\/p>\n
The Tavascan for the European market is available with two power outputs: 281 horsepower in the single-motor RWD model and 335 hp for the variant with two electric motors. Both versions come with the same 77-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack enabling a range of up to 342 miles measured by the WLTP. Expect identical or very similar numbers for the new China-only model.<\/p>\n
