[Syphon]

CUPRA continues its high safety scores in the challenging Euro NCAP safety tests as the CUPRA Tavascan achieved a 5-star rating. The all-electric SUV coupe joins the CUPRA Formentor, CUPRA Leon and CUPRA Born in achieving the highest rating possible and signifies the brand’s determination to deliver the safest cars possible.



Euro NCAP testing is renowned for pushing vehicles to be as safe as possible, to address the safety for both occupants and vulnerable road users.

By providing additional cushioning, the system helps to reduce the severity of head injuries.

Probably a video somewhere of that.
