Cupra has revealed a new trim level for its Raval electric supermini that brings some aggressive exterior trim upgrades courtesy of German race team and tuning outfit ABT. 

The new Cupra Raval VZ ABT was unveiled at the Paris motor show, and the Spanish carmaker says that the car will be open for order at the end of November with deliveries starting in January 2027. No word yet on what the trim will cost yet. 

You can already order similar trims on the Cupra Formentor and Leon models, but the Raval is still a fresh addition to the Cupra line-up. 

​Cupra says that the front and rear spoilers were designed in conjunction with ABT, a German company that has traditionally been associated with tarting up Audi road cars, but will also be familiar to Formula E fans as one of the series’ long-term constructors. 

The styling elements that are added to the VZ ABT are handcrafted at Cupra’s ‘racing factory’ near its headquarters in Catalonia, in northeast Spain. The company says that it’s preparing the parts with the care it extends to its race cars. 

The exterior changes include front and rear splitters, a side skirt, rear roof spoiler and various winglets as well as bespoke 19in alloy wheels. You get ABT detailing around the car, as well as heated bucket seats, a Sennheiser sound system and interior lighting upgrades. 

There are no changes to the power output of the Raval, and no indication from the firm as to whether the range of the Raval is affected by the upgraded parts.
