Which Tavascan version to buy
There is one generation and three versions. Two of them (AT and VZ AT) share 340 hp / 250 kW and have been listed since 2022-06-01. The third (BEV AT) is 286 hp / 210 kW, RWD, and listed from 2023-04-01. The only version with a measured 0–100 km/h time is VZ AT at 5.6 s.
There is one generation and three versions. Two of them (AT and VZ AT) share 340 hp / 250 kW and have been listed since 2022-06-01. The third (BEV AT) is 286 hp / 210 kW, RWD, and listed from 2023-04-01. The only version with a measured 0–100 km/h time is VZ AT at 5.6 s. Displacement, torque, kerb weight, and tank size are not measured on any version, so there is no power-per-litre or weight-per-horsepower ranking.
If you want the only all-wheel-drive Tavascan and the only timed sprint, VZ AT is the one that is actually specified for that job. If you want the same 340 hp without AWD, AT matches VZ AT on power and gearbox and stays RWD. If you want the later, lower-output electric layout, BEV AT is 54 hp and 40 kW below the 340 hp pair.
Tavascan generations compared for a buyer
There is 1 generation. It is an SUV Coupe, in production from 2022-06-01 with no end date in the data. It has 3 versions.
The generation did not restyle into a second generation. What changed for a buyer is the version mix over time:
- From 2022-06-01: AT (340 hp, RWD) and VZ AT (340 hp, AWD).
- From 2023-04-01: BEV AT (286 hp, RWD) is added. That is 10 months after the first two.
So a “first-year” Tavascan in this catalogue is one of the 340 hp cars. A car listed from April 2023 onward can also be the 286 hp BEV AT. Chassis language is the same on all three: independent spring front and rear, ventilated disc front, Disc rear, 1-speed Automatic, fuel Electro, CO2 0.
Tavascan specs: AT vs VZ AT vs BEV AT
| Version | hp | kW | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Speeds | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | 340 | 250 | not measured | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic | 1 | RWD |
| VZ AT | 340 | 250 | not measured | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic | 1 | AWD |
| BEV AT | 286 | 210 | not measured | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic | 1 | RWD |
Read the table as a buyer, not as a brochure. AT and VZ AT are identical in the power columns: 340 hp and 250 kW. The arithmetic difference between them is 0 hp and 0 kW. What you are choosing between those two names is drive: RWD versus AWD, plus the fact that only VZ AT has a measured 0–100.
BEV AT versus either 340 hp version: 286 − 340 = −54 hp, 210 − 250 = −40 kW. That is 54 / 340 ≈ 15.9% less horsepower and 40 / 250 = 16% less kilowatts. Gearbox type, speed count, fuel, and CO2 do not change: all three are Automatic, 1 speed, Electro, CO2 0.
Cylinders, engine layout, and boost are not measured. Do not infer a petrol layout: the fuel and engine type labels are Electro. Displacement is not measured, so hp per litre is not measured on AT, VZ AT, or BEV AT.
Performance and economy: what the extra specification actually is
0–100 km/h
- VZ AT: 5.6 s
- AT: not measured
- BEV AT: not measured
You cannot rank AT against VZ AT on sprint time with these numbers, because AT has no 0–100 figure. You also cannot say BEV AT is slower than 5.6 s from this dataset: that time is simply not measured. The only honest sprint statement is: VZ AT is the version whose 0–100 is 5.6 s.
Top speed
- AT: not measured
- VZ AT: not measured
- BEV AT: not measured
No version can be chosen for a higher catalogue top speed.
Fuel / energy use
City, highway, and combined consumption are not measured on AT, VZ AT, or BEV AT. Tank capacity is not measured (electric versions; no tank figure in the data). CO2 is 0 on all three, so there is no CO2 spread to buy “cleaner” inside this model: the difference is 0 g between versions.
What “extra money” cannot be priced here: there are no prices in the data. What extra specification buys, in numbers that exist:
- VZ AT versus AT: same 340 hp / 250 kW; you add AWD instead of RWD, and you add a measured 5.6 s 0–100. Power delta: 0.
- AT or VZ AT versus BEV AT: you add 54 hp and 40 kW. Drive: AT stays in the same RWD class as BEV AT; VZ AT additionally moves to AWD.
Dimensions and weight: nothing to split the three
Kerb weight: not measured on AT, VZ AT, BEV AT. Gross weight: not measured on all three. Ground clearance: not measured on all three. Tank: not measured on all three. Wheels: not measured on all three.
Weight per horsepower is not measured, because mass is not measured. You cannot pick a “lighter” Tavascan from this catalogue. Suspension and brakes do not split the choice either:
- Front suspension: Independent, spring on AT, VZ AT, BEV AT
- Rear suspension: Independent, spring on all three
- Front brakes: Ventilated disc on all three
- Rear brakes: Disc on all three
If two cars feel different on the road, that difference is not in these measured chassis fields.
AT vs VZ AT: same power, different drive
AT and VZ AT both start 2022-06-01, both 340 hp / 250 kW, both Automatic with 1 speed, both Electro, both CO2 0.
Buyer arithmetic:
- Power: 340 − 340 = 0 hp
- Output in kW: 250 − 250 = 0 kW
- Drive: RWD (AT) vs AWD (VZ AT)
- 0–100: not measured (AT) vs 5.6 s (VZ AT)
Choose AT when you want the 340 hp Tavascan and rear-wheel drive, and you accept that sprint and top speed are not measured. Choose VZ AT when the catalogue must show AWD and a 5.6 s 0–100. There is no displacement or torque figure to justify VZ AT as a “stronger engine”: the engine output columns match AT.
BEV AT vs the 340 hp pair: the later, lower-output RWD
BEV AT is the only version that does not exist at the generation’s start date. It is listed from 2023-04-01. It is RWD, like AT, not like VZ AT.
Buyer arithmetic versus AT (same drive class):
- 286 hp vs 340 hp → 54 hp less on BEV AT
- 210 kW vs 250 kW → 40 kW less
- Drive: both RWD
- 0–100: not measured on both
- Gearbox: both Automatic, 1 speed
Versus VZ AT:
- Same 54 hp / 40 kW gap
- Drive: RWD vs AWD
- 0–100: not measured vs 5.6 s
BEV AT is the version to take if the requirement is the 286 hp electric Tavascan in this generation, not the 340 hp cars. It is not a second generation. It is a third version inside generation 1, with 15.9% less horsepower than AT and VZ AT.
Decision order without inventing missing numbers
1. Need AWD and a published 0–100 of 5.6 s → VZ AT (340 hp / 250 kW). 2. Need 340 hp / 250 kW and RWD, same start date as VZ AT → AT. Power matches VZ AT; drive does not. 3. Need the later 286 hp / 210 kW electric, RWD, from 2023-04-01 → BEV AT.
Do not choose on mpg, tank, kerb weight, ground clearance, wheels, torque, or top speed: those fields are not measured on every version here. Do not choose on CO2: 0 on AT, VZ AT, and BEV AT. Do not treat AT and VZ AT as different powertrains in horsepower; they are not. Treat BEV AT as the only version whose power is not 340 hp.
That is the full version map for Cupra Tavascan generation 1: three names, two power levels (340 and 286 hp), two drive layouts (RWD and AWD), one measured sprint (VZ AT, 5.6 s), and one body type (SUV Coupe).
