Big delays on Raval deliveries in UK

It looks fantastic in white - really smart.
Were the mats included or did you have to negotiate them separately? I think they look great.

I was under the impression they belong to the interior package, Pulse/Immersive (V1/V2/Endurance) interior shares the same ones, Feel (basic VZ in the UK, can be also Immersive in some countries) has their own ones and Ahead (VZ Extreme) and then there's the optional all season TPE mats.

I think you get the most info about packages and such from the official Cupra global catalogue: https://www.cupra.com/content/dam/p...al/pdf/cupra-raval-catalogue-october-2026.pdf

(For UK it is Plus = V1, Endurance = V2)

There is also the UK price list which is more specific UK configs but it doesn't show as much info about available accessories and such: https://www.cupra.com/en-gb/price-lists/cupra-raval

Well if it hasn't changed in the uk the mats are free but if you want something different from the free carpet you buy it. Old days, you never got free mats. Trip to Halfords and carpet scissors . How I did my Altea ones.

What's going to be in those catalogues may fit alternative vag cars. That's where the fun comes in you could put Golf 7 fancy mats into an Ateca if it took your fancy. Now designer days you get those catalogues.

Looks great in white ; the white paintwork works very well with the black roof and other black contrasting accents. White is very easy to maintain too. I’m not quite sure about the colour of the aero trims on the alloys against the copper accents of the alloys though; as @RPGWiZaRD has suggested, I’d take them off and see how it looks without them.

Cupra fitting light grey carpet mats is a strange move. With the wetter winter months, they’ll soon get quite grubby as it’ll be impossible to not transfer wet dirt from the bottom of footwear onto the mats. I’d swap them out for some durable rubber mats (I keep rubber mats in my car all year round - I quite like the utilitarian look of rubber mats, and they’re so easy to clean too). Not sure if there are any genuine Cupra rubber mats available for the Raval but there are sites on the web that sell them (e.g. Carmats4U; just do a search on ‘Cupra Raval rubber floor mats’. If you do decide to get some, make sure they’re for a RHD car.

Ok seems to vary from country to country. In Finland they are included, I find it very weird if mats are not included it always tends to be with cars here but guess it might be some country specific tradition, idk. Guess thats why I've seen so many videos with missing mats and thought it was a bit weird

Mats are included.
I replied to someone who wanted to know where to find info about ordering different mats from those listed for the specific model.. See the post replied to.

Atleast for the last 10 years in the UK on Seat / Cupra cars. People get sucked into those catalogues and buy stuff they dont need since its included. Xcellence metal plate stickers for the door was one for the Ateca. It came with them already in the door. People bought metal plates they didnt need. Crafty. Those accessory catalogues are like office catalogues of old, going on a buying spree.

Nice to


Nice to see VZ with copper rebel tyres, first I've seen besides old review cars in Plasma and that one UK review with manganese matt green. I have also picked those but with Fiord Blue color. Have you considered removing the aero covers on yours? I sadly won't be able to try the summer tyres until next summer as I told them to apply winter tyres when I go pick it up in 2 weeks or so but I'm seriously considering removing the plastic covers on mine based on some other reviews that had done so (makes the tyre look one size bigger and sportier)

Would be very interested in knowing what kind of consumption figures this setup gets, the VZ with either Copper Rebel or Vandal tyres are rated similar to the V1/V2 with ~14 kWh/100 km compared to the sportier VZ tyre option that has 16.1 kWh/100 km rating.

EDIT: I like that they have made the diffusers dark grey colored as opposed to white colored with V1/V2 white color. It's small details like this that is very difficult to know beforehand how they have decided for the various colors and such and the configurator is worthless for this, hardly visible whatsoever.

I did that the aero covers of straight after the photos but put them back on. Maybe take them off again

Just do as you personally prefer of course! I suppose they come off pretty easily (at least it seemed like it in a video I saw)

If you do however, I'd really appreciate if you could provide comparisions before and after, at least I had planned to do so, sadly won't be able to personally until spring as it looks like now when winter tyres going on directly for the hand-over on mine (not going to be changing the tyres back n forth).

A sideshot as you already provided with the covers on as well as from the front with the front wheels turned towards the camera like this would be perfect so you get a nice feel how it blends in with the accent copper stripes at the front:

Another idea I had in mind for the covers as an alternative to keeping them off is whether it would look better if spray painting it to be similar color as the surrounding plastic fenders (ie. anthracite / dark grey?) for a better integrated look, at least with the Fiord Blue the color mismatch of the plastic covers against anything else is the main aspect to why I don't expect it to look that great against Fiord Blue, the lighter grey will probably (in my mind it already does trying to visualize it) will probably stick out as a sore thumb, otherwise it's a pretty okay design, nothing against the aggressive looking saw-blade like design that goes well with the aggressiveness overall with the car but yea the color is to me the perhaps biggest issue with the covers.

I had already looked up a potential paint for it but unsure if plastic fenders are closer to the anthracite grey or the dark grey tint. (The white glacier paint option actually has darker (black) colored fenders compared to other Raval color options, don't know if you've noticed it) https://www.motip.com/en-en/automotive-products/car-repair-paints/bumperspray/bumper-paint
