The Cupra Tavascan is a battery electric compact crossover SUV (C-segment) produced by Volkswagen Anhui, a joint venture between Volkswagen (75%) and Chinese company JAC Group (25%), and sold by Cupra, a subsidiary of SEAT.
The concept version was first shown at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show.[4] In March 2021, it was confirmed that the vehicle would begin production,[5] with the official launch taking place in April 2023.[6]
The Tavascan is marketed as the Volkswagen ID. Unyx (Chinese: 大众与众; pinyin: Dàzhòng Yǔzhòng) in China, with minor cosmetic changes.[7] In April 2025, the Volkswagen ID. Unyx was renamed to Volkswagen ID. Unyx 06 (Chinese: 大众与众06; pinyin: Dàzhòng Yǔzhòng 06).[8]
