CUPRA Raval VZ Extreme First Drive Review: CUPRA’s Small EV Hot Hatch Is a Firecracker
- Thread starter Syphon
- Start date
Great review thanks again for the time you spend creating all this for us. My only couple of points are wheel arch trim should be gloss black not plain plastic and heat pump should be standard it is on A290 and Abarth 600e also agree on plastic inserts but Skoda do this as well. Real world range will be interesting I know of one person trying to reject a A290 for poor range from new. Picked it up June last year - it is a hot hatch and use the performance and range will drop. So yes UK drive and range comparison will be interesting.
As Europe gets the car first they can bug fix before it lands in the UK as the new Android base will have bugs, car manufacturers are still playing catchup software dev wise and if they rely on too much AI in the dev process we really are doomed
Still looking towards the V1 or V2 Launch Edition with 210, but 18 wheels on the V1 may be the sweet spot on poor UK roads (I have never had so many windscreen chips as this year, mainly motorway and dual A roads) as the road literally crumbles beneath me. Offers and deals also count as there are some cracking deals on the Abarth 600e Competizione 280; PCP or private lease over 24 months. Salary sacrifice with the A290 GT is also decent. Looks though the Raval has it - still not that keen on the ID Polo less GTI.

The green seats will be to match the green paint work in that car. Go Cart is what the youngsters want .
Seem to be getting a lot of car for the money as EVs move from a nitch market where development costs are being picked up from sales... why people patter about look at the price fall, the fall because development costs recovered, not that nobody wanted them. Now onto the costs as a mass market car.
Now how good they are at developing mass market software we will find out. The Android Automotive-based infotainment system I see as a development toolkit which they use. I'll have to run a YouTube search on it
. Probably a bit more solid than the shakey stuff before.
Sennheiser immersive sound, sounds fun but not fully Dolby Atmos untill they launch that other software that Sennheiser did on the Smart car as I pointed out on the other thread. You are getting a surround processor with audio tricks in it with the intensity you can adjust on the slider. The sales folk can probably sell it on that basis.
