Hankook OE for new Cupra Tavascan

Hankook is supplying its iON evo SUV tyre to Cupra as original equipment for the new Tavascan.

Developed for all-electric vehicles, this summer tyre has been specifically matched to the handling characteristics of the dynamic SUV coupé for maximum sportiness without any compromise on comfort, according to Hankook.

The Hankook iON evo SUV, with the “+” marking for original equipment, is available for the Cupra Tavascan as a mixed tyre in the 19-inch variants and as an all-position tyre in the 20- and 21-inch sizes.

The 21-inch tyre also comes in a special sport design, identifiable by the notation “e-Performance” on the sidewall. In keeping with its sporty tuning, it offers even more traction and shorter braking distances thanks to its high-grip mixture.

Hankook also offers a 19-inch all-season tyre, also designed specifically for electric vehicles, as original equipment for the model.

“We are proud of having developed the perfect tyre in close cooperation with Cupra for the brand’s new all-electric top model,” says Klaus Krause, vice president and head of Europe Technical Centre at Hankook.

“Our clear objective was to transmit the high dynamic potential of the SUV coupé to the road and at the same time achieve the lowest possible rolling resistance for maximum range without having to compromise when it comes to comfort.”
