The CUPRA Raval is CUPRA’s newest EV model, providing drivers with a unique and sporty experience whilst still being an electric vehicle. The model starts around £24,000 and has an electric range of around 275 miles WLTP. Certainly, a car for enthusiasts to get their hands on.
So before buying we have gathered 10 things to know about the all-new CUPRA Raval to hopefully help to make you mind up about possibly buying one.
The Raval has already attracted attention before reaching customers. Its design was recognised at the 2025 Red Dot Award: Design Concept, where the CUPRA Raval received the top "Best of the Best" distinction.
It's an impressive achievement for a car that hadn't yet hit the road and highlights just how much emphasis CUPRA has placed on the Raval's design. From its bold proportions to its unmistakably sporty appearance, the Raval has been created to stand out in a growing crowd of small electric cars.
One of the biggest talking points around the CUPRA Raval is its price. Expected to start from just below £24,000, it brings CUPRA's distinctive styling and sporty character into a more accessible part of the electric car market.
Taking centre stage inside the Raval is a large central touchscreen, bringing together many of the car's entertainment, connectivity and vehicle functions. It helps give the interior a clean, modern appearance while keeping everyday controls within easy reach.
Rather than learning an entirely new infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow you to bring many of the apps you're already familiar with into the car. Connect your smartphone and you can easily access things like music, messages and navigation without plugging your phone in every time.
The steering wheel is one of the areas where the Raval's sportier personality comes through. CUPRA's distinctive steering wheel design features satellite controls, putting key functions conveniently at the driver's fingertips and helping the Raval feel like a CUPRA rather than simply another small electric car.
The Raval's personality doesn't disappear when the sun goes down. Ambient interior lighting adds colour and atmosphere to the cabin, helping create a more distinctive environment for evening and nighttime journeys.
CUPRA brings its signature sporty character into the Raval’s cabin with seating designed to make the driving experience feel more focused. Depending on the model and specification, the Raval is available with sports seats or more supportive bucket-style seats, giving higher-specification versions an even more performance-inspired feel. As well as looking the part, the extra support can help keep you comfortable and secure behind the wheel, particularly when enjoying the Raval’s more playful side.
Not every journey is the same. The Raval's driving modes allow the car's character to be adjusted depending on the situation, whether you're prioritising efficiency during everyday driving or want something a little more engaging on a favourite stretch of road.
A compact car is already useful when you're navigating busy streets and tight car parks, but the Raval's available parking and driver-assistance technology can make every day driving even easier. Depending on the specification, various systems can help with everything from parking to keeping an eye on what's happening around the car.
One of the most important features of any electric car isn't necessarily found inside it. DC rapid charging means the Raval can replenish its battery much more quickly when connected to a compatible public rapid charger. It's particularly useful on longer journeys, where a charging stop can be combined with grabbing a coffee or taking a break before getting back on the road.
The CUPRA Raval brings together the practicality of a small electric car with the bold, sporty character you’d expect from CUPRA. With useful everyday technology, smart connectivity, rapid charging and plenty of driver-focused touches, it’s designed to be just as comfortable tackling the daily commute as it is heading further afield. For anyone considering making the switch to electric, the Raval looks set to offer an exciting balance of style, technology, practicality in a compact package.
