Cupra Raval: Sporty electric small car spotted on the street
von Constantin Hoffmann an Oct 01, 2024
The Cupra Raval, the latest electric car from the Spanish performance brand, was recently spotted in Tarnfolie on public roads. With its striking look and sporting charisma, the raval is traded as the most dynamic model in the small car category of Cupra. Although the vehicle is still disguised, striking design elements such as the striking headlights and the angular rear reveal a lot about the new electric vehicle.
Cupra Raval: The sporty brother of the VW ID.2
Volkswagen plans to build a wide portfolio of electric vehicles around ID.2, and Cupra will launch a sporty alternative with the Raval. While Skoda is planning a small electric SUV with the EPIQ, Cupra focuses on compact and dynamic models. The Cupra Raval is expected to be the sportiest variant in this new electro-small car class.
The raval is based on the same platform as the Volkswagen ID.2 and shares many technical details with this model. Nevertheless, the Cupra will stand out by sporty accents and a significantly more dynamic orientation. This not only makes the raval a functional urban vehicle, but also an exciting choice for drivers who value design and performance.
The 2026 cupra raval has been spied testing for the very first time with heavy design influence from 2022’s urban reulus concept. In Addition, The Cuv Will Sit on Top of the Automaker’s Fwd MEB Entry Platform and be offered with up to around 223 HP and 273 Miles of Electric Range. pic.twitter.com/wj0aaxoy43

Price and positioning of the Cupra Raval
While Volkswagen starts the entry price of ID.2 at around 25,000 euros, the Cupra Raval is likely to be a little more expensive. According to a high-ranking Cupra manager, the raval could start at around 30,000 euros. The model positions itself in the upscale price segment of the small cars, which should be justified by its sporting equipment and more powerful components.
The Cupra Raval as the heir to the VW Polo?
Interestingly, the Cupra Raval could be seen in the long term as the successor to the iconic VW Polo. The production of the polo has already been shifted from Europe and its popularity seems to be disappearing. With the raval and other models around ID.2, Volkswagen could herald a new era in the small car segment, in which electric vehicles run the traditional combustion engines such as Polo.
Conclusion: an exciting chapter for Cupra and the electro-small car market
With the Cupra Raval, a dynamic electric vehicle awaits us that will cause a stir on the streets. The sporting orientation, coupled with the modern VW electroplay, makes the raval an exciting alternative in the small car segment. It remains to be seen whether he will put the polo in the shade, but one thing is certain: the raval brings a breath of fresh air to the market of compact electric cars.
