The Cupra Tavascan is an electric SUV. Before you commit, it pays to know the yearly bills as well as the price on the day.
Here you will find the list price, the COE rule, road tax and car insurance examples. Insurance figures are for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026.
Versions
The new-car list read on 2026-10-10 has one Tavascan: the CUPRA Tavascan Electric Endurance 77 kWh. It is an SUV, made in China, with a 282bhp electric motor.
Our quote form has two versions:
- Endurance 77 kWh (electric)
- VZ 77 kWh (electric)
We priced the Endurance 77 kWh, which most of our insurers quote.
What it was listed at
As listed on 2026-10-10, the Tavascan Endurance 77 kWh was S$215,900, including COE that day.
That price moves with COE results and dealer offers. When you get a quote, check what it includes.
Category A or Category B
The price page gives the rule for a fully electric Tavascan:
- Category A if the motor is 110kW (147bhp) or less. It closed at S$132,004 in the October 2026, 2nd round.
- Category B if the motor is more powerful. It closed at S$131,901 in the same round.
Results change each round. The COE page lists the latest ones.
Road tax on the motor
For electric cars, road tax goes by motor power. A 282bhp (210kW) motor comes to S$2,146.70 a year on LTA's formula, checked on 2026-10-19, before any age surcharge.
That is a sizeable yearly figure. It is worth adding to your budget from the start, not after the first renewal notice arrives.
An age surcharge applies past 10 years:
- Over 10 years: +10%
- Over 11 years: +20%
- Over 12 years: +30%
- Over 13 years: +40%
- Over 14 years: +50%
See the road tax page for other figures.
Car insurance on the example details
The Cupra Tavascan price page prices this case:
- Car: Endurance 77 kWh, 3 years old, private use, comprehensive
- Driver: 40, married, office job, 10 years' driving
- Record: 50% NCD, no claims
- Repairs: authorised workshop, no options
3 insurers give a price. The lowest is S$1,698.26 a year. The other two both sit at S$1,712.72, so the whole spread is S$14.46, about 1%. Prices include 9% GST. The two higher prices are estimates from published tables.
Three insurers state why they do not price it online. One does not list the model. Two do not quote electric cars online. Most of the rest have no online price for the Tavascan yet.
Excess and workshop
The prices are close, so the details matter:
- The lowest premium carries a S$900 excess, and its plan name says any workshop
- The two at S$1,712.72 carry a S$600 excess
So the lowest price comes with a larger share to pay on each claim. Whether the workshop choice matters to you is worth checking in the plan terms.
When the premiums are this close, a few points help you choose:
- How often you might claim: a lower excess helps more if you expect small claims.
- Where repairs happen: some plans let you pick your own workshop, others send you to an authorised one.
- Battery cover: ask how each plan treats damage to the battery, which can be costly to fix.
- Charging cables and equipment: check whether these are covered if lost or damaged.
Changes that push the price up or down
With one detail changed, the lowest price on the page becomes:
- No NCD (0%): S$3,425.42, S$1,727.16 more
- 20% NCD: S$2,740.34, S$1,042.08 more
- Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$2,397.79, S$699.53 more
- Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$1,712.72, S$14.46 more
- A new car: S$1,712.72, S$14.46 more
- A car 8 years old: S$1,552.69, S$145.57 less
All three insurers price each case. Losing your NCD lifts the lowest price by 102%. An 8-year-old car is the only change that lowers it.
Note that the insurer with the lowest price changes from case to case. The plan that is lowest for the example driver is not the lowest once the NCD drops. So the right comparison is the one made on your own details.
These are lowest prices. Other plans may move differently.
Other electric cars for comparison
Same driver, same car age, each at its most quoted version:
- BMW iX1: S$1,907.27
- BYD Sealion 7: S$1,390.72
- Tesla Model Y: S$939.71
- BYD Atto 3: S$913.63
- Tesla Model 3: S$913.62
- BYD M6: S$861.41
Their average lowest price is S$1,154.39. The Tavascan is 47% above that, and 5 of the 6 are cheaper to insure. The BMW iX1 is the one that costs more.

- Charging: home, office or public chargers each cost differently, and distance drives the total.
- Parking: season parking plus day-to-day parking.
- ERP: depends on where and when you drive.
- Servicing: ask what the warranty covers for the battery and motor, and for how long.
- Depreciation: what you pay now against what the car is worth later.
