Cupra has officially revealed the Raval, a compact electric hatch that's bringing some much-needed attitude to the small EV segment and it's not stopping at sensible versions, either.
Alongside the standard models, Cupra is preparing a proper hot VZ variant aimed directly at the Alpine A290, according to Top Gear. Expect over 220 horsepower, a 0-100 kilometres per hour in under 7 seconds, and a setup focused as much on handling as straight-line speed, complete with an electronic limited-slip diff and adaptive suspension.
It's small too, and Cupra claims that it "establishes a completely new category that combines urban dynamism with spacious practicality".
The Raval sits on Volkswagen Group's new MEB+ platform and will be offered with multiple power outputs and battery options, balancing everyday usability with decent range and fast charging.
