Cupra expands EV and SUV lineup with Raval and Terramar

Overview

SEAT’s performance brand CUPRA continued its strong momentum in the first half of 2026, delivering a record 170,100 vehicles – a 7.2% year-on-year rise and the strongest half-year in group history. This performance included an operating profit of €122 million, an increase of €84 million over the previous year. The launch of the CUPRA Raval significantly boosted results, lifting EV orders by 85% in Q2 and helping overall sales grow 18.5% in the quarter.

As the brand’s first 100% electric urban vehicle manufactured at the Martorell plant, the Raval is built on the new MEB+ platform. The compact hatchback features a 441-liter luggage capacity and various battery configurations. In Greece, the model was introduced with a €2,000 launch promotion, setting a starting price of €25,900, which can be reduced to €22,900 when combined with the ‘Kinoumai Ilektrika 3’ state subsidy.

CUPRA has described the Raval launch as the most successful in its history. During the New Mobility Congress in Katowice, the company reported that initial orders in Poland exceeded 330 units, surpassing internal forecasts. The vehicle is expected to become CUPRA’s highest-volume electric model. In Poland, pricing starts at 20,490 euros for the Plus trim, while the Endurance version, which offers a 446 km mixed cycle range, is positioned at 25,490 euros.
