🙋Post your CUPRA Raval questions here

We'll soon be off to see the Raval so if you have any burning questions let us know below and we'll try to get answers for you. There will be an embargo so we won't be able to reply straight away.

See whether the embargo gets broken in Europe. Seems to happen a lot.

First question does it have a badge saying Raval . Cupra are fond of not letting on what the car model is. You see pass and scratch your head and say which Cupra was that.

Price and specification is going to be one against the other Vag alternatives. That Skoda and the ID mentioned in the link. Crossover not crossover over those models.

I guess this will be a place marker for subsequent Seat EVs that might become available a few years down the line.

I'd like to know what is the tire size for non-VZ models and when the first cars will be delivered.

Sense would say that given how popular the Ibiza has always been (and they don't offer a Cupra version) why not produce an EV version of that?

& the Arona.ID... Ibiza.ID and Ateca.ID. Perhaps we ask too much .

 

[James_R]

There'd definitely be a running for the Ibiza and Arona in full EV form, they're a big motability seller and motab are being pushed hard into EV. They'd share the same underpinnings as the ID.Polo ID.Cross.

I think that if there was a market for it then the Ateca would probably have received the hybrid running gear as used in the Leon and Formentor.

 

[Tell]

Happy to skip the hybrid. Well ofcourse the Terramar is an Ateca successor in Audi guise with the hybrid option but not EV yet. The Elrog is there. The issue is when Seat / Cupra decided not to play on all fields. A bit of a Swiss cheese more than Skoda... I think.

Another one to check. See whether it has the row of click switches to control functions as shown on the upcoming VW IDs. Also whether the infotainment has the simulated cassette drive when playing audio. How much they have carried through from the VW new design into it. Probably a lot. This:

Upcoming IDs

And there we thought everything was rosy after the ID.Polo was announced :unsure: https://www.carscoops.com/2025/09/vw-could-delay-two-key-evs-amid-cost-cutting/ Think I'll wait till after 2030 for an ID.Ateca 😉. The electric birth is taking a bit longer in VW... what we see on the Cupra...

That was a pre production model but demonstrated the new thinking on the movement away from putting everything on the touch screen.
