The all-electric CUPRA Raval has officially landed in the UK, and to mark the milestone, CUPRA is taking over a secret London location alongside long-standing brand ambassadors and global electronic duo Chase & Status.
On Friday 14 August 2026, the two musicians will headline CUPRA RAVAL: RECHARGED—an exclusive, one-night-only performance celebrating the arrival of CUPRA’s new urban EV ahead of their headline slots at Reading and Leeds Festivals.
As the car is designed specifically for city living, the CUPRA Raval brings a sharp design language and performance-focused electric architecture to the urban car segment. Hitting UK streets throughout the summer, the Raval joins CUPRA’s growing line-up of electrified models including the Born, Tavascan, and Terramar.
Underneath the aggressive styling, the Raval brings real hot-hatch performance to the city car segment. The top-spec model packs 222 horsepower to the front wheels, sprinting from 0 to 62 mph in a sharp 6.8 seconds. Depending on the battery option you choose, it delivers up to 277 miles of range on a single charge—with rapid charging getting you from 10% to 80% in under 25 minutes. Inside, the driver-focused cabin features a crisp 12.9-inch display, 3D-printed interior details, and a high-end Sennheiser sound system.
It’s an emphasis on sound and performance that translates naturally to the stage. Connecting music, urban culture, and electric mobility, the takeover brings the energy of Chase & Status directly into an intimate London venue. By choosing East London’s nightlife and fashion district as the backdrop, CUPRA is directly connecting its new EV with the area’s independent spirit. Partnering with Chase & Status, who share CUPRA’s high-performance ethos, proves that compact electric cars can deliver style without compromising on performance.
The public performance is free to attend on a first-come, first-served basis with limited capacity. Look out for the secret venue location revealed via @CUPRA_UK on Instagram.
Most electric car reveals are forgettable affairs in sterile convention centres. By ditching the usual corporate script and parking the Raval in the middle of a London night out, CUPRA is proving that the future of city driving should feel as alive, loud, and distinctive as the streets it’s built for.
