What we like

If you want a sportier-feeling electric SUV, the Tavascan delivers with plenty of performance and a more engaging driving experience than is common in this class. There’s loads of space in the rear seats and the standard equipment levels are impressive. You also get a longer warranty than with other VW Group brands. It’s also a cool-looking car inside and out and the tech is generally easier to use. 

What we don’t like 

The Tavascan’s good driving experience is spoilt by its terrible and disconcerting brake pedal feel – we urge you to test drive one – and the interior doesn’t live up to its expensive price. We also have major concerns about its glitchy software and various reliability issues during our long-term experience, which makes it hard to recommend.
