Cupra Raval Takes Aim at Europe's Boring Small EV Problem
"The prototype in the photos has its production body and lights, giving us a good look at the car before next year's debut. The Cupra Raval will launch in early 2026 with its sights set on the popular Renault 5 E-Tech. Cupra is the sporty Seat spinoff that wants to inject some fun and attitude into the Volkswagen Group's smaller cars."
"Set to be fully revealed and enter production in early 2026, the Raval is named after an area of Barcelona defined by constant movement, raw energy and fearless urban character and mostly known for its vibrant nightlife. This is Cupra's way of hinting at its slightly mischievous character, so it will hopefully be fun to drive. Gallery: Cupra Raval Prototype"
The Cupra Raval is a compact electric hatchback scheduled for full reveal and production in early 2026. The prototype photos show production bodywork and lighting beneath light camouflage. The model sits on Volkswagen Group’s front-wheel-drive MEB+ platform and shares architecture with the Volkswagen ID. Polo, ID. Cross and Skoda Epiq, all built in Spain. Cupra targets sporty driving with lower ride height, stiffer suspension, and tuned dynamics. Powertrains will include a base output (undisclosed) and confirmed 208 hp and 223 hp Vz variant with electronic limited-slip differential. The Raval aims to compete with the Renault 5 E-Tech.
