Cupra Raval Endurance: highway range and consumption at 130 km/h

18.4 kWh/100 km instead of the rated 13.6–14.8 — that was the consumption of the Cupra Raval Endurance in a test where about 90% of the route was driven at around 130 km/h, in temperatures above 30°C, on the optional 19-inch wheels. That's 24–35% above the combined WLTP figure, but the test conditions were noticeably tougher than the lab cycle. CUPRA officially rates the Endurance at 413 to 446 km of WLTP range, depending on configuration.

The version is fitted with a front electric motor rated at 211 hp and a battery with a usable capacity of 51.5 kWh. Simple math based on the measured 18.4 kWh/100 km gives around 280 km from 100% to 0%. For the more realistic 10-to-80% driving window, that works out to roughly 196 km between charges. This is a calculation, not a promise of real-world mileage: speed, temperature, tires and climate control can all shift the result.

Caradisiac's testers found that charging from 10% to 80% in temperatures up to 38°C took about 29 minutes. CUPRA officially states 24 minutes at up to 105 kW, while noting that charging time depends on temperature and battery condition.

This result adds important context to the Raval Endurance's already-published pricing and specs: in Spain, the version launched with the same 51.5 kWh battery and 211 hp output. The cheaper Raval Plus, with its 37 kWh LFP battery, is aimed primarily at city driving and offers noticeably less rated range.

In France, the Endurance officially starts at €36,100, while a discount of €2,500 running through August 31 brings the price down to around €33,600. When choosing between the Endurance and the lower trims, the main argument here isn't the 446 km WLTP figure anymore — it's the ability to hold onto roughly 200 km between fast charges even when driving genuinely fast.
