The CUPRA Raval has been revealed, marking the next step in CUPRA’s electric evolution. This compact all-electric hatchback brings together bold design, confident performance, and a clear focus on everyday urban driving. Joining the electric CUPRA line‑up alongside the Born and Tavascan, the Raval broadens the brand’s approach to electric mobility.
Positioned as an accessible entry into electric, the Raval introduces a new chapter for CUPRA’s performance-led line-up. Arriving in the UK from September 2026, with pricing expected from around £23,000, it stands out as one of the most exciting electric city cars on the market.
Let’s explore what makes the Raval different:
Shaped by Barcelona
Named after El Raval, one of Barcelona’s most vibrant and culturally rich districts, the CUPRA Raval draws inspiration from a place defined by creativity, reinvention, and contrast.
Once a historic working-class neighbourhood beyond the old city walls, El Raval has evolved into a dynamic cultural hub, where street art, independent businesses, and nightlife sit alongside major institutions like the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art.
This blend of raw energy and modern expression is reflected directly in the Raval’s character. It is compact, expressive, and designed to stand out in the city. Like its namesake, it celebrates individuality and challenges convention, bringing a fresh and youthful attitude to electric mobility.
Distinctive urban styling
The CUPRA Raval is designed to stand out, not blend in. Sharp lines and sculpted surfaces create a confident presence, shaped by CUPRA’s latest design language. That individuality continues across the range:
- Origin introduces a new entry point to the line-up
- V1 offers a clean, sporty design with flush illuminated extending door handles
- V2 Launch Edition enhances presence with 19” Copper Alloy Wheels, Matrix LED headlights, and advanced safety features
- VZ Extreme delivers the most performance-focused design, featuring Sulphur Alloy Wheels (as seen on Tribe Editions), a 360-degree camera, and Remote Park Assist with the Drive Pack
Despite its compact footprint, the Raval offers up to 441 litres of boot space, delivering impressive practicality for everyday use.
A driver-focused, high-tech interior
Inside, the CUPRA Raval delivers a clean, immersive and intuitive driving environment. A 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit and 12.9-inch infotainment display place key information and controls exactly where they are needed.
A redesigned steering wheel with physical buttons and satellite controls enhances confidence and usability, while carefully packaged interior space ensures a bright, open feel despite the Raval’s compact footprint.
In the V2 Launch Edition, next-generation Smartlight ambient lighting works alongside a 12-speaker Sennheiser AMBEO immersive sound system to deliver a rich and refined audio experience. At the top of the range, the VZ Extreme introduces 3D Knit CUP bucket seats and a vegan leather interior, combining performance-inspired design with everyday comfort.
Digital Convenience
The CUPRA Raval introduces a new Digital Key, representing the next evolution of KESSY Advanced. Using a compatible smartphone, drivers can securely lock, unlock, and start the vehicle without a physical key, bringing added convenience to everyday driving.
Electric performance made for everyday life
The CUPRA Raval delivers electric performance designed for both city streets and longer journeys. Its 52kWh battery offers up to 276 miles† of range in select models, giving you the freedom to commute, explore, and go further without compromise.
For those seeking a more engaging drive, the VZ Extreme model packs up to 225PS, delivering sharper acceleration and a performance-focused experience while maintaining the practicality of a modern urban EV.
As part of the Volkswagen Group’s Electric Urban Car family, the Raval plays an important role in making electric mobility more accessible, while staying true to CUPRA’s performance DNA.
