CUPRA has made a bold entrance at the IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich with the reveal of a camouflaged series production CUPRA Raval, the brand's upcoming electric urban car set to hit the streets next year.
During a special event hosted by the Volkswagen Group, prior to the official opening of the IAA, Markus Haupt, interim CEO of CUPRA, unveiled the camouflaged CUPRA Raval, covered in vinyl evoking a map of the Raval district in Barcelona from which it takes its name.

Also at the IAA, CUPRA showed its Tindaya showcar. Named after a volcanic mountain that rises from Fuerteventura, part of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
With a a pronounced shark nose, flanked by aerodynamic keels that guide airflow into the side intakes.
At 4.72m long, with large 23-inch wheels, a 1/3 cabin to 2/3 body ratio and high ground clearance, highlighted by a progressive trim of the wheel arches and lower rocker panel, the car showcases rugged proportions.
The interior features a 2+2 configuration with saloon-style opposing doors and new-generation CUPBucket seats: a modern reinterpretation of the classic ‘Eames Lounge', combining sustainable materials, high-performance ergonomics, and enveloping ambient light.
CUPRA says the Tindaya Showcar is true to the CUPRA DNA: muscular, emotional, and tech-driven design - where every surface invites touch, emotion and driving pleasure.
