Cupra Raval brings a more sporting character than usual to the electric city-car class. The small Spanish model is aimed at buyers who want compact dimensions without giving up style, performance and technology, with a setup designed with the Italian market in mind.
In this first impression, the Raval stands out for its agility and steering response, while the cabin focuses on digital instruments and a modern layout. Pricing will be crucial if it wants to become a real alternative to the electric city cars already on sale.
