Cupra Raval
V1 37kWh
Owners love
- Competitive range of 238 miles WLTP, ahead of key rivals like Alpine A290 and Mini JCW Electric
- Spacious interior with 441-litre boot capacity, offering more cargo space than larger competitors like Cupra Leon
- Engaging handling with responsive steering and 15-stage adaptive dampers that allow personalized tuning
Watch out for
- Real-world range approximately 150 miles with safety margin, significantly less than WLTP claims, limiting long-distance suitability
- Retractable door handles are unreliable and difficult to operate smoothly
- Voice command system frequently interrupts conversations and ambient sounds
Owner tips
- Test adaptive dampers across the 15 stages to find the ideal setting for your driving style and road conditions
- Budget for real-world range of 150 miles for trip planning rather than relying on WLTP figures
Honda Super-N
Base
Owners love
- Cute, funky retro design with distinctive styling that appeals to city car enthusiasts and stands out from competitors
- Excellent value at £19k as an affordable entry point to EV ownership in the A-segment city car market
- Fun-to-drive experience with boost mode (95hp), engaging handling, and agile maneuverability suited to urban environments
Watch out for
- Limited real-world range of 90-128 miles restricts practicality for longer journeys and frequent intercity travel
- Interior feels functional but dull and uninspired compared to competitors like Renault Twingo, lacking character despite the exterior design
- Simulated gear shifts and Active Sound Control feel artificial and gimmicky; the engine noise is a disappointing dull drone rather than engaging
Owner tips
- Best suited as a second car for urban city dwellers with short daily commutes under 60 miles and home charging access rather than primary transport
- Use City mode for one-pedal driving efficiency in urban settings and leave Boost mode in auto rather than manually engaging simulated gear shifts
