Cupra Raval vs MG ZS EV (2019-2021)

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 139 miles for the Cupra Raval and 136 miles for the MG ZS EV - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 23 minutes in the Cupra Raval and 40 in the MG ZS EV, so the Cupra Raval loses less time at each stop.

The two are within 25 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 616 mm of total clearance for the Cupra Raval and about 591 mm of total clearance for the MG ZS EV.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Cupra Raval and 84% for the MG ZS EV. That gives the Cupra Raval a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Cupra Raval's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the MG ZS EV's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use.
