Cupra Unveils Pre‑Series Raval and Tindaya Concept at IAA 2025

The showing frames a two‑track strategy focused on accessible electrification alongside flagship innovation.

Overview

  • Cupra displayed a camouflaged pre‑series Raval, confirming production in Martorell in 2025 with a market launch in 2026.
  • The Raval sits on Volkswagen Group’s MEB+ architecture with a single front‑axle motor, with a VZ variant reported at up to 166 kW (225 PS).
  • Pricing is reported to target roughly €27,000 at entry, with journalists estimating 40–60 kWh battery options and up to about 400 km of range, which Cupra has not fully confirmed.
  • The Tindaya showcar was presented as the brand’s largest and most powerful to date, previewing future design and HMI with concept features unlikely to be production‑ready wholesale.
  • Cupra describes the Tindaya as a high‑output range‑extender setup—two motors around 496 PS, roughly 300 km electric range and over 1,000 km total, using SSP‑era tech as an exploratory direction.
