Cupra Raval

Cupra Raval

The Cupra Raval is an especially good-to-drive electric crossover.

If we think of the compact Volkswagen Group electric car lineup as being like The Spice Girls, then the Cupra Raval is definitely Sporty Spice (sadly, this analogy falls apart when you try to start working out which one is Scary). Based on the same front-wheel-drive ‘MEB+’ platform as the VW ID. Polo, the Raval will come in affordable 300km forms, or as longer-range 450km model, with 226hp (and likely more powerful models to come). It looks sharp and drives pretty much as sharply.
