Overview
- Reporters drove uncamouflaged, production-spec Raval test cars and praised the VZ trim for strong front-wheel traction, precise steering and agile handling.
- Cupra lists two battery chemistries and outputs: a 37 kWh LFP pack with 85 or 99 kW motors and a 52 kWh NMC pack with 155 or 166 kW, with 11 kW AC charging and up to 105 kW DC on the larger pack.
- AUTO ZEITUNG recorded 16.7 kWh per 100 km in mixed driving in the VZ, which suggests roughly 300 km of real-world range versus the 440 km WLTP maximum for the 52 kWh battery.
- Front-drive packaging creates a 441-liter trunk that is large for a small EV, though rear seating feels tight, and the outer rear seats include ISOFIX mounts for child seats.
- Cupra set the VZ Extreme launch edition at €43,525, with sales planned for summer to Q3 2026 as the first MEB+ model moves the group’s small-EV rollout forward.
