Cupra signaled its intentions toward coming out with an electric crossover in September 2019 with the unveiling of the Tavascan concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show. In March 2021, the Spanish brand announced plans to launch a production version in 2024. Last year in June, the road-going model was briefly brought onto the stage during the brand's Unstoppable Impulse event. Later the same month, spies caught a test mule wearing the VW ID.4's body.
The prototype caught this week in northern Sweden appears to have the full production body and the final lights. As expected, it doesn't look as sleek as the concept but it does appear to be less bulbous than the mechanically related VW ID.5 GTX and Skoda Enyaq Coupe iV. We're getting the impression it's a tad smaller than its two MEB-based siblings and rides on the same turbine-styled wheels of the concept, although we're not sure whether they're the same size (22 inches).
