Disclosed are a coupling assembly and a rail vehicle having the coupling assembly, the coupling assembly being arranged at a front end of the locomotive of the rail vehicle and comprising a coupling mounting base (12), a coupling (11) securely mounted on the coupling mounting base (12); and further comprising: a support part (21) arranged on either side of the coupling mounting base (12), the support part having a guide slide (211) inclined longitudinally, and a front end of the guide slide (211) being higher than a rear end thereof. The support part (21) is securely arranged on the locomotive. The coupling mounting base (12) is securely provided with a sliding part (121) on either side thereof that fits in a sliding manner with the guide slide (211) on the corresponding side, and is configured such that in an initial state, the coupling mounting base (12) is securely connected to the support part (21) and the sliding part (121) is located on the front end of the guide slide (211). The structural design of the coupling assembly can ensure the hitching function of the coupling (11) during normal operation. When a collision happens, during the process of retreating backwards due to energy absorption, the coupling (11) will neither intrude into an upper portion of a towing beam (22) to damage upper devices, nor fall onto a rail, increasing the risk of derailment, whereby the passive safety of the rail vehicle in a collision can be increased.
