How the specs compare

This comparison sets the 2025 BMW X1 sDrive18i against the 2024 Cupra Tavascan VZ. Both belong to the SUV class, so their dimensions, performance and utility figures address a broadly similar type of car. One uses a petrol powertrain and the other a battery-electric system, so range and consumption figures need to be read in that context.

Range, battery, charging and efficiency

Dimensions, cargo space and towing

Both specifications quote 540 litres of cargo capacity. 2024 Cupra Tavascan VZ is 144 mm longer overall. Exterior size is not a benefit by itself: a longer body may create useful room, but cargo shape, rear-seat space and ease of parking still require a physical inspection.
