Frequently asked questions
Is the Cupra Raval worth the extra £1,930 over the Peugeot e-208?
The Cupra Raval costs £1,930 more than the Peugeot e-208. For that premium it adds 132 litres more boot space and lower energy use, 138 versus 154 Wh/km. The Peugeot e-208 is not just cheaper - it also offers a 1.4s quicker 0-62mph time. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Cupra Raval comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Cupra Raval or the Peugeot e-208?
The Peugeot e-208 is £1,930 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £152 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Peugeot e-208 comes out roughly £1,850 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Cupra Raval and Peugeot e-208 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 139 miles for the Cupra Raval and 155 miles for the Peugeot e-208 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Peugeot e-208 goes roughly 16 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Cupra Raval or the Peugeot e-208?
The two are within 19 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 635 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-208 and about 616 mm of total clearance for the Cupra Raval. The Peugeot e-208 also turns in a 0.5 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Cupra Raval or the Peugeot e-208?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Cupra Raval and 84% for the Peugeot e-208. 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 Peugeot e-208's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use.
