CUPRA adds new Tavascan Black Edition to the range

CUPRA has revealed the new Tavascan Black Edition, adding darker styling, bigger visual impact and high-spec pack options to its electric SUV coupé.

CUPRA has revealed a new Black Edition version of the Tavascan, giving its all-electric SUV coupé a darker and more aggressive look inside and out.

The new model builds on the Tavascan’s already bold design with a series of black styling details, while also tying in with CUPRA’s growing Black Edition line-up.

A darker take on the Tavascan

The biggest change is visual. Midnight Black is the signature finish for the new edition, although CUPRA says the package will also be available with the wider exterior colour range.

Across the outside, the Tavascan Black Edition gets black front bumper grilles, black mirror caps and darker lower body cladding. Buyers will also be able to choose between 20-inch HECKLA and 21-inch KATLA matt black alloy wheels, which help give the car an even stronger stance.

Inside, the same theme continues. The dashboard spine and door mouldings get Fusion Metal detailing, while black trim finishes across the cabin give it a more technical and more focused feel. CUPRA has also fitted Black Soul Bucket seats trimmed in sustainable Dinamica upholstery, combining the darker look with the same supportive seating the Tavascan is already known for.

Immersive and Adrenaline packs required

The Black Edition is only available alongside CUPRA’s Immersive and Adrenaline packs, so this is not being pitched as a stripped-back styling option.

That means Black Edition cars will also come with a stronger equipment list, including electrically adjustable heated front seats with memory, ambient lighting, the Sennheiser sound system, Dynamic Chassis Control, a panoramic sunroof and a wider set of driver information and assistance features.

In other words, the Black Edition is very much aimed at buyers who want the full visual effect and a higher-spec Tavascan to go with it.

Another addition to CUPRA’s Black Edition line-up

CUPRA says the Tavascan Black Edition is the latest addition to its expanding Black Edition family, giving one of the brand’s most important electric models the same darker treatment already seen elsewhere in the range.

As CUPRA’s first fully electric SUV coupé, the Tavascan already plays a key role in the brand’s electric push, and this new version is clearly aimed at buyers who want something a bit more distinctive without moving away from the standard car’s overall character.

Production of the Tavascan Black Edition is due to begin this summer.

UK Availability and pricing to be announced.

Hi all, new poster here...

I’m currently very close to ordering a MY26 Tavascan V2, but have just come across the Black Edition and it’s exactly the sort of spec/appearance we’d go for.

I can see that CUPRA announced it in June, with production due to begin this summer, but I still can’t find anything confirming UK ordering, pricing or expected delivery dates.

I’ve asked a couple of UK CUPRA dealers today to check their internal systems, but wondered if anyone here - particularly anyone with dealer/CUPRA connections - has heard anything about whether it’s definitely coming to the UK?

Even an indication of UK order-book timing or likely first deliveries would be really useful, as I need to decide whether it's worth holding off on the V2 I've currently got lined up.

Thanks!
 
Hi and welcome. It may be that it's not coming to the UK, not all the models do and due to our international reach we sometimes publish. I've just asked one of our HQ contacts to see if we can get a definitive answer for you.

Thanks Syphon, really appreciate you asking your HQ contact.

I’ve done a bit more digging since posting and it looks like the Black Edition is now actually appearing in other European markets. Germany is listing a Tavascan VZ Black Edition as a model, and in Spain CUPRA announced that orders had opened for the updated range including the Black Edition.

So it definitely seems to have moved beyond the original June announcement and into the European rollout, it’s just the UK position that remains a mystery!

I’ve also emailed CUPRA UK directly this morning asking specifically whether it’s planned for the UK, rather than just asking about current dealer stock.

If your HQ contact can get any indication either way, that would be hugely appreciated. I’m ready to commit to a three-year lease now, but I know I’ll kick myself if I order the standard V2 and the Black Edition appears here a few months later!

Thanks again for looking into it.

No worries, will let you know when I hear, also let us know how you get on.

Cheers,
