CUPRA Raval Owner's Register - what model have you ordered/do you have?

[Paul44]

Well I accidentally just test drove raval and bought v2 launch edition in Plasma Iridescent.

Test drove the vz which sold it to me but vz plastic on back front seats was cheap feeling. Hopefully ride not to different.

My biggest concern dropping from the speed and hp of my bmw m135 and the fact I love my 135 but she costly car since owning it from new and at 6 year old it cost me fortune this year.

Lol "accidentally just test drove"

I never actually looked in the back when I took the test drive so if it is plasticy, it's too late to bother me!

It obviously wont be as quick as the 135 but the instant torque up to 30 is where it matters most and the Raval will have that.

When do you pick it up?

But you don't have to pick the CUP Bucket seats with VZ? That comes only with VZ Extreme but the basic VZ in UK comes with fake leather seats that are soft in the back like the Dinamica seats in the V2 as well.

It feels weird when me as a finnish guy seems to know more about UK specs than brits themselves... my interest though is I want people to get what they prefer and seems not very well advertised when it comes to this launch that you don't have to pick the options available as pre-packages, you can just download the price list and spec your own as well, the basic VZ for some reason was never lifted up to the configurators but you can always pick basic VZ starting from £33,495, add whatever options you want for it (except the upholstery options are locked in in UK for the various models) and you might be around the same price as the VZ Extreme, give or take depending exact configuration a little but at least you get to choose what you want.

Pricelist for UK: https://www.cupraofficial.co.uk/price-lists/cupra-raval

Not sure if the price list if complete though, for example the "Icon²" tires are not listed at all. I don't see other packs like usually are available in other countries other than "Drive" pack that was included by default with the VZ Extreme version, otherwise a £512 extra. Here in Finland we have, Drive pack, Ahead pack, Rebel pack, Light & Sound pack, Heat pump, Matrix LEDs (also part of "Rebel pack") Sunroof, the different color options as options with certain limits for the non-VZ models but VZ you can spec pretty much as you want here, with "Ahead" pack you get the Extreme version's interior and green accent colors on the tyres and silver logo and performance tyres etc.

Nice colour and car! A work colleague has a 128Ti and loves it too. EV means no turbo lag and more responsive though. You will notice lesso utright pace but your wallet will empty lower fuel wise.

Well didnt accidentally test drove it sorry accidentally got carried away and bought it lol.

Wasn't sure on the look love front back but look bit dumpy. The ride handling on vz was amazing.

The back seats were hard plastic because I said I need them ppf lol.

My 135 is a beauty to drive but damn the ravel was smooth.

The VZ has a wider track, its lower, has DCC and the limited slip diff. It also has slightly more power, are you sure you've not jumped into the VZ LE in haste?
I'm not saying its a bad car, but its not as focused as a VZ.
