Eye-catching design
On the new Tavascan, CUPRA design team placed the copper-colored emblem on a glossy black background, outlining it with a slim contour of light-diffusing PLEXIGLAS Softlight.
By day, the outline takes on a soft white appearance. At night, with the vehicle lights turned on, it transforms to outline the brand’s distinctive emblem with a luminous glow. This effect is achieved by backlighting the sleek, injection-molded emblem with LEDs.
The front-end design received the 2024 Red Dot Design Award in the product design category for its dynamic, emotional design and the memorability of its distinctive vehicle face.
