The camo is off. CUPRA Raval has been revealed.
Premiering globally, the new model marks the beginning of a new era for CUPRA, introducing the brand to an entirely new customer segment.
The Raval’s exterior features sharp lines, a confident stance and distinctive lighting signatures, drawing strong inspiration from the Urban Rebel Concept car. Sculpted surfaces create a dynamic design, highlighting CUPRA’s commitment to performance-led styling.
Combining the agility of a small hatchback with the interior space of the segment above, the Raval offers 441L of boot space. Exclusive alloy wheel designs balance functionality and performance, while the four-wheel disc and pads braking system delivers a consistent, confident feel - a notable advantage over many electric vehicles (EV) in this segment.
VZ models offer advanced chassis technology, usually associated with larger performance vehicles. Sport Knuckles (steering hub) with a negative camber, an electronic Limited Slip Differential, and Dynamic Chassis Control combine to provide sharp handling and strong front-end grip.
The Raval features new Plasma Iridescent premium metallic paint, with availability of bi-colour roof options to further extend the Raval’s customisation options.
Interior
The Raval showcases a refined interior with high-quality materials, a driver-centric cabin and technological advancements; complemented with atmospheric lighting, immersive sound and modern connectivity. A 10.25-inch digital cockpit is paired with a 12.9-inch central infotainment display, powered by a new Android Automotive operating system. Every detail creating an immersive driving experience, reflecting CUPRA’s progressive design philosophy.
Trims and specifications
37kWh and 52kWh battery options are offered, to suit different customer needs. Power outputs range from 115PS up to 225PS, with all versions featuring a front-wheel-drive layout delivering strong performance and everyday usability.
Aligning with the broader CUPRA portfolio, it will feature a largely familiar trim lineup.
Origin: a new trim sitting before V1, offering the perfect entry into the Raval with a good level of specification.
V1: delivering essentials for everyday driving, including heated front seats and steering wheel, a rear‑view camera, front and rear parking sensors, and a mobile digital key all as standard.
V2: enhanced comfort, style, and technology, with 19-inch alloy wheels and a Dinamica interior providing a sportier, premium feel. Next generation Smart Light ambient lighting with projections, and a 12-speaker Sennheiser AMBEO immersive sound system bring the cabin to life.
VZ: the most performance‑focused expression of Raval. Alongside a more dynamic character, it features Matrix LED headlights, exclusive alloy wheels, vegan leather interior and advanced performance technology, delivering an emotional and engaging driving experience.
The range will be complemented by two exclusive editions, offered for a limited time only:
V2 Launch Edition - building on V2, featuring a distinctive copper alloy wheel design, top view camera and a suite of safety features.
VZ Extreme - the most performance‑focused version, featuring alloy wheels in Sulphur (as seen on Tribe Editions), 3D Knit CUP Bucket seats and Drive Pack.

The first cars are expected to arrive in the UK at the beginning of September, opening for order ahead of this in early summer. A suite of activities are being secured to help build a healthy order bank and more essential information will be shared in the coming weeks.
