Cupra's Raval opens below the £25,000 mark that matters most for salary sacrifice uptake, with entry pricing from £23,785 and up to 277 miles of WLTP range from the 52kWh pack, per The Electric Car Scheme. At 4% BiK for 2026/27, that combination of low list price and low tax band is exactly the sweet spot scheme providers chase — expect it to undercut comparable MEB+ siblings on take-home cost once the £1,500 Electric Car Grant is applied to most trims. Pre-orders are open now for deliveries later in 2026, so get it into scheme car-choice lists before drivers ask why it isn't there.
