Raval launch signals CUPRA's push into affordable, compact EV market

Reinventing itself at pace, CUPRA refuses to sit quietly in the VW Group corner. The Raval is the clearest expression yet of their ambition.

It's a compact EV yet has plenty of space due to the front-wheel-drive configuration, freeing up space for increased passenger comfort.

Pricing could be around €26,000 and should be landing in Ireland for September later this year.

CUPRA claims improved thermal management and a new-generation inverter for better efficiency. Its fast‑charging won't break records, but looks competitive for the segment and should allow for a 10–80% top‑up in just over half an hour.
