Big update to our detailed review of the ace Cupra Raval EV - Shane reckons stick with the Endurance model

It has been nearly a year since we got our first taste of the Cupra Raval, in prototype form, and now it has launched in Ireland we're very happy to confirm that this little EV is a superb car. It ticks all the sensible boxes, in terms of range, efficiency and pricing, but it is also huge fun to drive and of excellent quality. Anyway, we've updated our detailed review of the car with impressions of the mid-range Endurance variant, which Shane reckons is the pick of the lineup.

Cupra Raval gets five-star Euro NCAP score

Cupra Raval gets five-star Euro NCAP score

The new Cupra Raval has been awarded a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating under the organisation’s tougher 2026 assessment criteria. The electric hatchback scored 72 per cent for Safe Driving, 77 per cent for Crash Avoidance, 91 per cent for Crash Protection and 95 per cent for Post-Crash Safety. The Safety Pack, including Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control and Front Cross Traffic Alert, is required for the five-star rating, but the great news for Irish buyers is that's standard on all models other than the entry-level Raval Urban V1 - and it can be added as an option to that car.
