New urban electric vehicle will be priced between €20,000-€25,000.
The SEAT S.A. company, under which the SEAT and CUPRA brands operate, has announced that it will introduce an urban electric vehicle to market in 2025, priced between €20,000-€25,000 ($23,780 – $29,725).
With this vehicle, the company will enter a segment important to making electromobility accessible and an important milestone on the road to sustainability, and also addressing climate change.
Additionally, it was confirmed CUPRA will introduce the Tavascan in 2024. The CUPRA Tavascan will be the brand’s second wholly electric model after the CUPRA Born launched later in 2021.
At the company’s Annual Press Conference, the Spanish automaker presented an ambitious plan, called Future Fast Forward, with a key pillar the production of urban electric automobiles in Spain from 2025.
SEAT President Wayne Griffiths said: “We want to manufacture electric cars in Spain starting in 2025. Our ambition is to produce more than 500,000 urban electric cars per year in Martorell also for the Volkswagen Group but we need a clear commitment by the European Commission.”
The Future Fast Forward would serve as a driving force to creating employment, especially for youngsters. The project consists of SEAT as well as governments, technological centers and large, medium and small companies.
