The Cupra Raval is a compact electric hatchback that slots in below the Born as the brand’s entry point into urban EVs. It shares Volkswagen’s MEB Entry platform (also called MEB+ or MEB21) with the Volkswagen ID. Polo and the upcoming Skoda Epiq, and both the Raval and ID. Polo roll off the same production line at the SEAT and Cupra plant in Martorell, near Barcelona, where series production began in June 2026.
The 52 kWh cars come in two power tiers. The Dynamic and Dynamic Plus trims use a 208 hp motor for up to 446 km of WLTP range, while the sportier VZ Extreme steps up to 223 hp, with 290 Nm, reaching 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds with up to 440 km of range. The entry version pairs an 85 kW (114 hp) motor with a 37 kWh battery for 186 miles (299 km) of WLTP range.
DC fast charging tops out at 105 kW, enough for a 10 to 80 percent top-up in around 24 minutes. Inside, the Raval carries Cupra’s copper-accented cabin design language with a driver-focused dashboard layout, continuing the brand’s styling cues from the Born and Tavascan into its smallest model yet.
At 4,046 mm long, 1,784 mm wide, and 1,514 mm tall, the Raval undercuts most compact hatchbacks in footprint while offering 441 litres of boot space. In the UK the Raval went on sale in May 2026 from 23,785 British pounds for the 37 kWh Origin, with the 52 kWh cars from 28,495 and the VZ from 33,495; deliveries are due to start towards the end of 2026.
