Another potential EV SUV (e-SUV). Anybody seen or heard any thing about the Cupra Tavascan e-SUV concept? Sharp looking EV!

Apparently Volkswagen is the parent company of Cupra. From Cupra's website:

The all-electric coupe SUV features a 100% electric powertrain making it a powerful aerodynamic vehicle with zero tailpipe emissions. It features two motors housed in each axle providing a combined 225kW of power to all four wheels. A 77kWh lithium-ion battery pack, housed in the vehicle’s floor, lets the CUPRA TAVASCAN Concept roam for up to 450km (~280 miles).

Its sleek exterior lines are designed for performance and efficiency. Sophisticated liquid metal paint emphasises the tone-on-tone carbon fibre and elegant copper details. Highlighting its electric personality, the illuminated CUPRA logo that sits low between air vents cooling the battery pack and easing airflow – a critical component in this concept car. The 22” turbine alloy wheels are also designed to minimise resistance and allow the concept car to glide.


Without emissions, the rear diffuser is focused on providing functional aerodynamics, while creating an air of heightened performance. An elegant coast-to-coast rear light spans the width of the car, completing its streamlined look.

The concept car’s interior is a marriage of style and functionality. Mirroring its exterior’s sculpted lines and aerodynamism, the CUPRA Tavascan’s carbon-fibre structure is designed to provide a lightweight cabin. Contrasting colours diffused by LED ambient lighting give the occupants a calm space within the powerful machine.

An adaptive space designed to meet the occupants’ needs, it features comfortable 3D leather relief bucket seats with integrated speakers with smartphone connectivity. A wing dashboard houses a 12.3” digital cockpit providing the driver with all the information they need, while a 13” infotainment display can be shifted towards the passenger for better viewing.

I like the concept but I am of two minds about all these concepts coming out. I love the attention the segment is getting and it really validates the future of transportation. However, I have gone eye-blind to all the "concepts" out there and all the headlines such as "So-and-so major vehicle manufacturer announces we will be shipping X electric vehicles within X years".

Really?

As much as Elon screwed the pooch on the Cyber reveal, at least he had the balls to get up there and show a (almost) viable product. Hand it to Tesla, Rivian and those willing to get out there and risk it all with actually creating something people want rather than vaporware!

SEAT products are not (and likely never will) be available in the US, so for most on this site it is not an option

Yea, I was wondering about that since I believe I read some where SEAT is based and/or manufactured in Spain. Plus Cupra's website "Select your Country" list did not include the US. I figured just because I hadn't seen or heard of them didn't necessarily mean they couldn't be sold in the US even though it's manufactured aboard. Oh well, still a sharp looking vehicle. Just have to admire it from afar.
