Cupra Launches €26,000 Raval as Orders Open Across Europe

Seat casts the car as the backbone of its electric shift to regain profitability.

Overview

  • The Raval, which Cupra unveiled Thursday, opens for orders from about €26,000 with a 40,000-unit sales goal for 2026.
  • First deliveries start this summer, and Spanish purchase aid could cut the upfront price by €3,000 to €4,000.
  • Built in Martorell near Barcelona, the company and Spain’s industry minister say the project helps secure the 14,000 jobs tied to the plant.
  • Buyers can choose a 37 kWh iron‑phosphate battery for about 300 km of range or a 52 kWh nickel‑manganese battery for roughly 400 to 450 km with fast charging.
  • Cupra launched a Europe‑wide campaign with free shows in 12 cities, as Nathy Peluso drove the car onstage in Barcelona to anchor the rollout.
