- A mid-2026 update from UK-focused sources indicates the Raval is launching in the summer 2026 window, with multiple trims and a claimed range around 280 miles for the larger battery option, plus rapid charging capabilities (10–80% in roughly 23 minutes) under the V1/V2/VZ lineup, including a performance-oriented VZ variant.
