CUPRA added a Plus version and battery update to the Raval range in July 2026, broadening the line-up after its initial introduction. The manufacturer's model news identifies the new 99kW, 135PS Plus as an additional entry point into the electric small car.
The expansion is a reason to look beyond launch-edition coverage. A review or price list written for the first cars may not describe the versions that a dealer can now quote. The model name can remain the same while the battery, output and equipment choices change.
What it means for readers
Buyers should compare the actual available combinations rather than pairing the cheapest advertised price with the longest-range or most powerful specification. Ask for the battery capacity, official range and fitted charging equipment on the same quotation, then work out whether the extra cost of a higher grade solves a real need.
The Raval's appeal is its small-car format and sportier identity, but the new version potentially changes where the value lies. A sensible comparison with the Renault 5 or Škoda Epiq should therefore use current production versions. The individual Raval review remains the place for driving impressions; this report concerns the range change.
