CUPRA has unveiled the all-new CUPRA Raval, a bold statement in urban mobility that combines head-turning design with exhilarating performance. Developed, designed, and produced in Barcelona, the Raval embodies CUPRA’s challenger spirit, bringing a fresh, emotional approach to the city car segment. As the newest addition to CUPRA’s expanding electric lineup, the Raval is engineered to challenge convention and create a genuine connection between driver and machine.

The CUPRA Raval is built on the cutting-edge MEB+ platform, giving it a strong foundation for performance and efficiency. Its design is striking yet purposeful, making it one of the most stylish city cars available today. Arriving in the UK this summer, prices start at £23,785, with Origin, V1, V2, and VZ models catering to different performance and range requirements. The base Origin model offers a 37kWh battery and 115PS, while the V1 and V2 trims provide a choice of 37kWh (135PS) or 52kWh (210PS) batteries, the latter delivering up to 280 miles on a single charge and capable of charging from 10% to 80% in just 23 minutes. At the top of the range, the VZ features a 52kWh battery, 225PS, and a host of performance-focused features including an electronic limited-slip differential and Dynamic Chassis Control.

The Raval places the driver at the very heart of the experience. A fully integrated digital cockpit with a 10.25” instrument cluster and 12.9” infotainment system allows seamless control of all vehicle parameters. A redesigned steering wheel, complete with physical and satellite buttons for driving modes and regenerative braking paddles, ensures that every journey is both engaging and emotional.

Marcus Gossen, managing director of SEAT and CUPRA UK, highlighted the Raval’s significance, describing it as the culmination of years of dedication and innovation. “The CUPRA Raval is advanced, forward-thinking, and dynamic. It pushes the boundaries of automotive design and performance, encouraging drivers to form a real emotional connection to the drive itself. This is a fully electric car reimagining urban mobility with CUPRA’s distinctive challenger DNA,” he said.

With the Raval, CUPRA not only redefines what a city EV can be but also demonstrates that urban driving can be thrilling, stylish, and deeply personal. From its striking exterior to its electrifying performance and advanced driver-centric features, the CUPRA Raval sets a new benchmark for urban electric vehicles.
