CUPRA has officially opened UK pre-orders for the highly anticipated CUPRA Raval, bringing the brand’s most accessible electric model one step closer to customers.
The new urban EV joins the CUPRA Born in qualifying for the UK Government’s Electric Car Grant, allowing eligible versions of the Raval to benefit from a £1,500 discount. The incentive significantly improves the value proposition of CUPRA’s compact electric hatchback as competition intensifies in the affordable EV segment.
Built on Volkswagen Group’s advanced MEB+ platform, the Raval blends compact city-car dimensions with CUPRA’s signature sporty styling and performance-focused character. The model is designed to appeal to younger drivers and urban customers seeking a more emotional and design-led alternative in the small EV market.
To mark the opening of order books, CUPRA is launching several limited-time incentives for early buyers. The highlight is the exclusive V2 Launch Edition, available during the initial launch period with £1,500 worth of additional equipment included at no extra cost over the standard V2 trim.
Customers ordering a 52kWh CUPRA Raval before 31 August 2026 will also receive free standard metallic paint. Buyers opting for premium metallic or matte paint finishes can benefit from a £695 discount during the same promotional period.
In addition, the first 100 retail customers to pre-order the Raval will receive a complimentary Harper Collective x CUPRA Cabin Suitcase, valued at £1,125. The suitcase is produced using upcycled sea plastic and has become one of CUPRA’s most recognisable lifestyle collaboration products.
