Brand

Cupra

The CUPRA Raval VZ Custom by ABT brings sharper bodywork to the 2026 Paris Motor Show, while retaining the electric hot hatch's existing motor output. CUPRA opens configurator orders for selected Raval variants at the end of November 2026. Electrifying reports deliveries from January 2027.

The timing supports a successful launch. CUPRA reports more than 50,000 Raval orders since April and almost 15,000 deliveries, giving its ABT partnership a substantial potential customer base.

What Does the ABT Styling Package Change?

The CUSTOM CUPRA by ABT package borrows design cues from the UrbanRebel concept. Front and rear splitters, side skirts and winglets create a visually lower stance; CUPRA describes a styling change rather than additional suspension lowering.

Component	Standard VZ reference	ABT package
Wheels	19-inch alloys; 235/40 R19 tyres	Exclusive Sport Black Matt 19-inch alloys
Lower bodywork	Production VZ styling	Front/rear splitters and side skirts
Roof spoiler	Production design	More prominent spoiler and winglets
Identification	CUPRA branding	ABT lettering and standard Dark Chrome CUPRA logos

CUPRA Racing Factory handcrafts the package for new-car orders. In addition, authorised CUPRA specialists can install it through the dealer network after purchase. CUPRA has not published downforce figures or an ABT-specific range result, so buyers should avoid assuming an aerodynamic efficiency gain.

Raval VZ Specifications: The Powertrain Stays Familiar

The front-wheel-drive electric hot hatch produces 166 kW (226 PS) and 290 Nm. Specifically, its motor maintains maximum torque from zero to 5,466 rpm, supporting immediate response without waiting for engine speed to rise.

The VZ's electronic limited-slip differential manages torque between the front wheels to improve traction through corners. DCC Sport adjusts damping, while the standard sport chassis sits 15 mm lower than the platform reference.

Published specification	Raval Endurance	Raval VZ
Maximum power	155 kW / 211 PS	166 kW / 226 PS
Maximum torque	290 Nm	290 Nm
0-100 km/h	7.1 seconds	6.8 seconds
Net battery capacity	52 kWh	52 kWh
WLTP range	413-446 km	379-440 km
WLTP consumption	13.6-14.8 kWh/100 km	13.8-16.2 kWh/100 km
Peak DC charging	105 kW	105 kW
DC charge, 10-80%	24 minutes	24 minutes

These figures describe the standard cars. By comparison, the VZ trades some range for stronger acceleration. CUPRA's technical sheet lists a 4,046 mm body, 2,599 mm wheelbase and 441-litre boot.

Should You Buy the ABT Kit?

Buy it for its appearance. CompleteCar.ie estimates €1,500-€2,000 for the package, rather than confirming a final local price.

Pro-Tips:

Request an installed quote covering labour, taxes and variant compatibility.
Check the ordered car's WLTP figure rather than using the range maximum.
Confirm early-2027 equipment: CUPRA separately plans up to 190 km/h and reversing assistance over 50 metres; the ABT kit alone does not establish those specifications.
