Cupra Raval Previewed at Munich as 223bhp VZ Range-Topper Confirmed

The preview emphasized Cupra’s performance-led brief with a confirmed 223bhp VZ variant.

Overview

  • The production-intent electric supermini will be Cupra’s smallest and most affordable model when it arrives next year, with prices expected to start around £25,000.
  • Built on Volkswagen Group’s MEB Entry platform, the car will be produced in Martorell, Spain, alongside the Volkswagen ID. Polo, ID. Cross and Skoda Epiq.
  • Cupra has set a sport-focused chassis brief across the range, including suspension 15mm lower than sibling models and bespoke steering and tuning.
  • The VZ version is confirmed with a 223bhp front-mounted motor, sport suspension, an ESC off mode, an electronic slip differential and 19-inch wheels with wider 235-section tyres.
  • Key UrbanRebel cues carry over under the camouflage, such as triangular headlights and a wraparound rear light bar, while final battery, range and interior details remain unconfirmed.
