This walkaround covers every exterior detail in the new Plasma iridescent paint, the full interior across four trim levels including the 3D-knitted CUP Bucket seats, the 441-litre boot, and the powertrain and charging specs for all four motor-battery configurations.

The small EV market is about to explode — and leading the charge is the all-new CUPRA Raval. It’s one of a trio of compact electric cars from the VW Group (alongside the upcoming VW ID.Polo and Skoda Epiq), and it’s aiming to be the fun, edgy one of the bunch.
With up to 280 miles of range, 223hp, and a starting price of around £23,000, the Raval looks seriously tempting. But it’s not just about the numbers, this is CUPRA’s attempt to inject some real personality into the affordable EV space.
Think bold design, clever tech, proper buttons (yes, really), and a driving experience that actually puts a smile on your face.
We also size it up against its key rivals, the Kia EV2, Skoda Epiq, VW ID.Polo and Ford Puma Gen-E, as the battle for the best small electric car heats up.
So… is this the one you’ve been waiting for? Tell us in the comments: Raval, EV2, Epiq or ID.Polo?

- Please don't use UI scrolling of icons as a proof of the UI smoothness. That was working like 5 years ago. Now you should show navigation map pinch to zoom or moving around there. That is 100x more utilizing the CPU and GPU and even the latest cars are failing there 😢 Very annoying while driving.- 'Thats why we are German' note taken and understood. It has always been a matter of interest to me how closely genetically related the English are to Germans (if not brother, the cousins) but how culturally different we are. That said there are similarities in behaviour.
