SEAT has unexpectedly announced an imminent update for the CUPRA Tavascan electric crossover. This model will be part of a broader refresh of the brand's electric lineup, which already includes the updated Born and the new urban electric vehicle, the CUPRA Raval.

News of the upgrade plans emerged during the release of SEAT's 2025 financial results. Despite a record sales increase to 586,000 vehicles, the company's profits sharply declined. Reasons cited include investments in electrification, rising model production costs, and EU tariffs on Chinese cars, which directly affected the Tavascan.

The CUPRA Tavascan electric crossover is manufactured in China's Anhui province, leading to additional import duties for European sales. The company confirmed that the model will receive an update soon, though specific details remain undisclosed.

The updated Tavascan is expected to feature the same improvements recently introduced in Volkswagen's ID.4 and ID.5 models. These include new software, an upgraded Innovision multimedia system, and enhanced driver assistance functions.

A battery update is also possible. Instead of the current 77 kWh unit, the model might receive a new 79 kWh battery, slightly increasing its range. Fast charging power could also be boosted from the current 135 kW to around 185 kW, reducing charging time.
