CUPRA UrbanRebel Concept fully revealed with 0-62mph in 3.2 secs (video)
- Thread starter Syphon
- Start date
CUPRA need to drop the obsession with sticking plastic on the wheels of their electric cars though.
Indeed, I've only just discovered the wife's Ateca FR wheels have it as well. They look really good and she's had it a year so at least it wasn't as obvious as the VZ3 CUPRA Leon wheels.
The road version will have be toned down in looks and performance, otherwise it will cost far too much for the average CUPRA buyer. We need around 4.5 -5 secs to 60 and approx £40,000 max if they want us out of our petrol cars.
It's meant to be an urban car!
0-60 in 8+ seconds & a price well under £30k is what is needed to convince those wanting an urban car to buy.
How many private buyers spend
£40k+ on car to use locally?
"The urban electric car will democratise and make accessible electromobility to the masses.” and produce 500,000 per year.
Not at £40k+
Still waiting for an corsa/fiesta/fabia/etc replacement at less than £25k; then electric sales can really increase.
Agree; it’s a B segment car - it’ll need to be priced below £30k to appeal to the target market which will be Ibiza, Polo, Fabia, A1 (and similar) buyers.
VW has intimated its forthcoming ID.2all (the equivalent of the Cupra Raval / UrbanRebel) will be priced at under €25k (approx £21,700); if it is, then it should be competitively priced compared to other competitor’s B segment EV’s, although I dare say at that price it may not include some of the ‘must have’ options / functionality that some owners expect to see as standard. It’s likely it’ll be possible to retro-add some of that missing functionality by paying an activation fee and then a monthly subscription payment, as that seems to be the direction that car manufacturers are heading (BMW have started doing this).
hardcore cars are super expensive and ordinary joe cant afford it.
This is another one to join MINI GP, you see one per town . LMAO
that urban is to be on £50k price without the options and then ask why the sales are low . LMAO

What is the point of CUPRA then, as SEAT was all ready providing cars for ordinary joe. I thought they were supposed to be making sporty cars a bit quicker than SEAT, thats why you only get a Leon FR now and not a Leon Cupra. If the electric CUPRAs are not quicker than the electric SEATs or CUPRA petrol's, then I think it's all a waste of time.
At that performance it may be Urban, but certainly not a Rebel, I thought CUPRA was all about the image, Imagine if Hells Angels all rode around on 50cc mopeds.
Yeh, and when that 1.5 was first introduced many folk questioned why CUPRA had gone that way, as it was just the same performance as the SEAT Leon FR. Hardly a hot hatch which CUPRA (which stands for Cup Racing) should be promoting, when it was supposed to be the new sporty brand, as it just devalues the name.
