Do you know what’s wrong with nightclubs (caution: an old man is writing this…)? They’re too noisy. Too crowded. Too smelly. Happily, Cupra has an answer for all this. It’s the new Raval electric crossover. 

I’m confused. 

Well, Cupra reckons itself to be an edgy, youthful and urban brand and the Raval district of Barcelona — for which this new electric car is named — is also edgy, youthful and urban.

So to celebrate the Raval’s arrival in Ireland, Cupra has organised a gig by Irish-Indian-Malaysian DJ superstar Tara Kumar at the world’s smallest nightclub — a Raval. 

When and where is this happening?

The when is the 17th of September and the where is Flux Studios, Dublin. It’s open to everyone and the gig kicks off at 7.30pm and runs until 9.30pm.

Is the Cupra Raval on sale in Ireland now?

Yes — it’s initially priced from €30,240 for the Urban model with a 327km range, although there is an even more affordable Urban V1, for €23,495 on the way.

Or you can upgrade to the Endurance version with a 443km range for €33,405, or the sporty high-performance VZ version (which we’ve already driven — check out our review here) for €38,105.

Marcelino Villalobos, Brand Director, Cupra Ireland, said: “The Cupra Raval is a car designed to challenge expectations – from its bold design to the way it brings performance, technology and electric mobility together in a compact urban package. Club Raval is a natural expression of that same spirit. By turning the Raval itself into an intimate music venue, we’re bringing the car’s connection to creativity, culture and self-expression to life in a way that is unexpected, engaging and distinctly Cupra.”

What does Tara Kumar reckon?

“I’m really excited to be part of Club Raval and to play in such a unique space,” said Tara. “It’s a really creative concept and I’m looking forward to bringing the energy to Dublin on the night.”
