Updates were introduced for MY26 vehicles, on sale from September 2026 in Australia, and October 2026 in New Zealand, and this ANCAP safety rating applies to all Australian variants built from 29 June 2026 and New Zealand variants built from 5 May 2026 (VIN VSSPVSKRZTA000001 onwards). A separate rating applies to Cupra Tavascan MY25 vehicles built prior to 29 June 2026 for Australia, and 5 May 2026 for New Zealand.

Dual frontal, side chest-protecting and side head-protecting airbags are standard. A centre airbag which provides added protection to front seat occupants in side impact crashes is also standard.
