We've organized this article into specific sections for easier navigation. Click the links below to jump to different areas or read on for the full article. Additionally, we offer an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections include:

Performance

The CUPRA Raval VZ has a maximum power of 166 kW (226 hp / 223 bhp) and a total torque of 290 Nm (214 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 6.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 175 km/h (109 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 55.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 51.5 kWh, providing a 3.5 kWh buffer (6.4%) for battery protection. The system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.

This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 440 to 379 km (274-236 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.

The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 11.7 kWh/100 km for the base model and 13.6 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 130 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 58 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 27 minutes with an average charging speed of 81 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 3% to 62%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 73 kW, with each charging session taking about 25 minutes and 5 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 20 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 23 minutes, needing five charging stops from 3% to 61%, totaling 123 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 4 hours and 40 minutes with a standard home setup.

Charge Port

The charge port is conveniently located on the right front side, facilitating easy access at charging stations where you park parallel to the charger.

This model uses the CCS Combo 2 connector for the chargeport.

Drivetrain

The CUPRA Raval VZ has a front-wheel drive system supported by one motor on the front axle.

Suspension

The suspension system features a MacPherson strut front construction and a torsion beam rear construction. Both the front and rear dampers are monotube dampers, providing consistent performance and durability. The front and rear springs are coil springs, offering a balance of comfort and performance.

The DCC Sport suspension suspension has steel springs with a fixed height, but you can adjust damping to fit your driving style or road condition.

Ground clearance with this setup is 125 mm.

Steering

Progressive steering is standard on the CUPRA Raval VZ, automatically adjusting the steering ratio based on speed for improved control and comfort.

Drive Modes

The CUPRA Raval VZ lets the user select different drive modes that affect the car's handling.

  • CUPRA: Dynamic steering, throttle, and suspension damping.
  • Individual: Custom steering, suspension damping, and throttle.

Brakes

The CUPRA Raval VZ is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.
The front discs measure 306 mm, while the rear discs are 300 mm.

Regenerative Braking

The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes to enhance efficiency and driving experience. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.

Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.

Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.

You can choose between two stopping modes for one-pedal driving. Hold mode brings the vehicle to a complete stop using friction brakes, and Roll mode allows the vehicle to roll until it stops naturally.

Exterior
