The Cupra Tavascan is a battery electric compact crossover SUV (C-segment) to be produced by Volkswagen Anhui, a joint venture between Volkswagen (75%) and Chinese company JAC Group (25%), and sold by Cupra, a subsidiary of SEAT.

The concept version was first shown at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show.[4] In March 2021, it was confirmed that the vehicle would begin production,[5] with the official launch taking place in April 2023.[6]

The Tavascan is marketed as the Volkswagen ID. UNYX (Chinese: 大众与众; pinyin: Dàzhòng Yǔzhòng) in China, with minor cosmetic changes.[7] In April 2025, the Volkswagen ID. UNYX was renamed to Volkswagen ID. UNYX 06 (Chinese: 大众与众06; pinyin: Dàzhòng Yǔzhòng 06).[8]

Overview

Concept car

The Tavascan is based on the MEB platform designed for electric vehicles of the Volkswagen Group, first used in a production car by the Volkswagen ID.3. The SUV has one electric motors on each axle, providing all-wheel drive and a cumulative power of 225 kW (302 hp).[9]

The Tavascan's battery has a capacity of 77 kWh (280 MJ), providing a range of 450 km (280 mi).[10]

Safety

The Tavascan has been praised for lacking distracting driver safety alerts. This meant it did not qualify for a five-star ANCAP rating, due to an automatic low score in the "safety assist", category, despite high scores in other categories.[15]
