Compare the Volkswagen ID.5 vs Cupra Tavascan
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both coupe-style electric SUVs come with wide-opening rear doors that make fitting a child seat easy, though each suffers from compromised rear visibility thanks to sloping roof designs. Inside, however, they present very different environments. The Volkswagen ID.5 disappoints with hard, scratchy plastics across the lower dash and centre console, whereas the Cupra Tavascan backs up its striking cabin architecture with largely quality materials. When the road turns twisty, you will find contrasting driving manners as well. The ID.5 is far from fun with steering that feels rather slow, while the Tavascan proves capable and confidence-inspiring thanks to direct steering that turns in quickly and suspension that soaks up mid-corner bumps nicely.
