So that’s straights taken care of, but what about when the roads turn twisty? Well, the CUPRA Tavascan proves an engaging and enjoyable partner, with sharp steering, neat handling and strong brakes.
Cars with V2 trim upwards also have CUPRA’s Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC), which allows drivers to tailor the suspension and steering set-ups just as they like.
But don’t go thinking the Tavascan doesn’t know when to keep itself to itself. On the contrary, when you hit a motorway, it just takes care of getting you there, with a supple ride and a nigh-on inaudible powertrain.
An upmarket, eye-catching interior
Arguably, the most important part of any car is its interior, because that’s the area where you’re going to spend all of your time. And if that’s the case, then the CUPRA Tavascan has got all of the important things right.
For a start, the design of the interior conveys a sporty, purposeful feel with its high windowline and sculpted, wraparound dashboard – this is a car that can carry you and your family, but you’ll feel like every journey has a sense of pleasing urgency to it. There’s a welcome dose of design flair, too. An interesting central spine catches the eye, while copper accents and ambient lighting really lift the atmosphere. It’s a welcome bit of visual interest at a time when many rivals are producing rather uninspired, screen-dominated interiors.
