Based on Volkswagen’s MEB+ platform (Modular Electric Drive Matrix), and featuring front-wheel drive, the CUPRA Raval offers a dynamic and engaging experience focused on the driver. At just 4 metres long, the Raval combines the benefits of a compact city car with additional features unique to this model. Thanks to its road handling, generous interior space and practical, spacious boot— it’s engineered not only for city life, but for much more, including longer road trips and journeys.
"The first model to launch from the Electric Urban Car Family, a project we’re proud to lead for the Volkswagen Group"
The CUPRA Raval will make its World Premiere and market launch in 2026 as the first model of the Electric Urban Car family, comprising four cars from the Volkswagen Group’s Brand Group Core. Starting with the production of the CUPRA Raval in the upcoming months and followed by the Volkswagen ID.Polo both to be manufactured in Martorell, this family of cars is set to emotionalise and democratise electric mobility and establish a new benchmark in Europe, making it more desirable and accessible to a wider range of consumers.
With a highly excited and warm reception coming from the UK market, the CUPRA Raval has received positive reviews on its driving range, accessible pricing, and distinctive design. CUPRA’s CEO, Markus Haupt, reinforced these reviews with his commentary on the new CUPRA Raval:
"It’s a car that is set to shape the next era of electric mobility, making EVs accessible to a new generation"
