CUPRA Singapore Begins A New Era With Grand Launch Event For
The All-Electric Born And Tavascan At Design Orchard
Singapore, 14 March 2024 — Following the opening of CUPRA Centre Singapore, the challenger brand from Barcelona has now officially established its presence in the Lion City with a grand launch event at Design Orchard - the vibrant enclave located in the heart of Singapore’s bustling Orchard Road.
The launch event featured a variety of thrilling performances and activities for guests, as well as presentations by management from CUPRA headquarters and CUPRA Singapore. The all-electric CUPRA Born and Tavascan were unveiled for the first time in the Lion City, marking the start of sales and showcasing CUPRA’s commitment to cutting-edge automotive design and performance.
“This is a momentous occasion for CUPRA Singapore. I am truly excited to share the passion, innovation, and bold spirit that this brand embodies. CUPRA was born out of a desire to create something different, and our all-electric Born and Tavascan models are certainly unlike anything else,” said Daryle-Alexis Tan, Brand Director of CUPRA Singapore.
CUPRA Tavascan – A New Hero For A New Era
The all-new CUPRA Tavascan is available alongside the Born as the second launch model in Singapore. The Tavascan is derived directly from the concept car that was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2019, where it was presented as “the brand’s dream.”
Built on the MEB electric vehicle architecture as well, the first available variant is the Tavascan Endurance. This features rear-wheel drive and elivers 210kW (286PS) with an electric motor placed on the rear axle. It offers a WLTP range of up to 568km, thanks to its lithium-ion battery with a net capacity of 77kWh and 545Nm of maximum torque.
CUPRA Tavascan VZ – Sportiness Redefined
The CUPRA Tavascan embodies the brand’s commitment to delivering a driver’s car, and this is emphasised even further with the high performance VZ variant. The Tavascan VZ conveys a new and expressive interpretation of performance, with selectable chassis setups through its DCC Sport system, progressive steering and tyres mounted on 21” alloy wheels to connect the driver, car and road as one.
Digitalisation is at the centre of the CUPRA Tavascan VZ; the all-electric SUV coupe integrates a 15” infotainment system - the largest ever in a CUPRA model - that is highly customisable and
integrates a newly developed Human Machine Interface (HMI). A high-fidelity 12-speaker audio sound system developed in collaboration with Sennheiser and a panoramic glass roof act as the finishing touches to the Tavascan VZ, enhancing the in-car experience for all occupants.

The CUPRA Born VZ – heightened emotion
CUPRA takes the pulse of the Born e-Boost further with the CUPRA Born VZ – the top variant ready to inspire the world from Barcelona. VZ stands for Veloz in Spanish, meaning fast, a seamless way to describe the athletic hatchback. The CUPRA Born VZ delivers 240kW (326PS) of power and 545Nm of torque, applied to the road through the rear wheels as well. This delivers an impressive WLTP range of up to 599km.
Improved suspension setting geometry, sports-tuned steering, and brake feel combine to give it optimal performance, making it one of the most dynamic cars in its segment.
Highlights of the Born VZ include Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) sport, “Tornado” 20-inch forged alloy wheels, Enceladus Grey Sabelt Cup bucket seats and a 10 speaker Sennheiser sound system to take things up a notch.
