Do you think they will go on dealer rotation like the Ateca at launch. Shipped in for a few days then onto the next. Two were doing the rounds then across the UK. At that time they were the LH ones as I recall. They also used the Millbrook proving ground so dealers could try them out.

Need a schedule .

They probably will do this is one of their most important launches.

I have been trying to find the ground clearance of Cupra Raval. Some pages say that it is 12,5 cm. Some pages say that Cupra Raval has 1,5 cm lower ground clearance than MEB+ standard value. However, some pages claim that ID. Polo has 17 cm ground clearance. These values don't add up.

I'm off to drive one next week so will try and remember my tape measure, is there a standard place to measure from?

That could be the issue.

Local dealer already did some measurements. He said that 15 cm was the minimum near the rear wheel. 16 cm in the middle.

It does look a bit low in those pictures or is that me:

If this is correct then that would be assuring. I did become a little bit nervous reading about 125 mm ground clearence that some site that posts car specs revealed for this car, I mean that would be 1 cm lower than the 135 mm (lowest point) of my current Mazda 3 even. As an EV car you do get a bit anxious about hitting the underside. Isn't the lowest part more closer to the front typically?

 

[RPGWiZaRD]

I guess the lowest part is right in front of the front feels as seen here and I wouldn't be suprised if it was only like 125 mm there but that's some non critical plastic stuff probably and at least it slants upwards to help with the speed bumps, the battery itself looks to be higher at least: https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/media/35_cupra-raval_imd-jpg.1933/full

I'm sure I read somewhere that it was lower than it's sister ID car. Probably been dropped if so to appeal to sporty Cupra drivers. If not pre ordering, if concerned it's a ruler job with that and the other contenders. You are reminded of when you see those dropped sporty cars trawl over speed bumps . Probably not as bad as that, Cupra wouldn't want all their PCP cars sustaining underside damage.... you would hope. Fleet devaluation.
