CUPRA Raval passes 50,000 orders as new ABT pack makes Paris debut

[Syphon]

The CUPRA Raval has passed 50,000 customer orders just six months after its launch, as CUPRA uses the Paris Motor Show to reveal a new CUSTOM CUPRA by ABT package for its compact electric car.



CUPRA says the Raval is now the most successful new-model launch in the brand’s history, with orders more than double its original forecasts. Almost 15,000 cars have already been delivered since the model was introduced in April.



The strong start comes as CUPRA continues to grow overall, delivering more than 250,000 vehicles between January and September 2026, up 2% year on year.







Electric demand is growing considerably faster. CUPRA says orders for its fully electric models increased by 79% to more than 108,000 during the first nine months of the year, while BEV orders were up 158% during the third...

Despite the official (UK) release's exact wording saying:

"Customers can also add the customisation pack after purchasing their vehicle through the CUPRA dealer network, where it will be fitted by authorised CUPRA specialists."

We've asked UK HQ and been told:

"Factory order for UK only at the moment"

The same happened with the Leon and Formentor.

Looks quite nice (probably could do without those 3 whatever you'd call it buldging parts at the fender) but probably costs more than seems reasonable that often is the case with styling kits.

I don't know about you but I actually think I prefer the front without the added leds there, seems more clean, the added roof spoiler, the side skirts make it look nicer though and love the dark rims. Not sure about the added front and rear splitters, doesn't make it any better looking to me, might be "too much" for it, like glued on top, too forced on a design that already worked well as such.

I think Raval looks subjectively the best of the 3 models with ABT packs. 50.000 is a nice number so far, seems they've done something right about this car.

The body kit looks OK already on the German configurator maybe a bit too much detailing over the wheel arches and a shame you cannot choose the elements you like for fitment, assume that will come later when you can after purchase. I do like the wheels though but look very similar to the snowflake wheels fitted to the Alpine A290.

Yea 1700€ extra so while not out of this world expensive for a styling kit from a manufacturer itself, to me some of the details are a bit over-the-top, would at least have considered an option say ~1000€ for added spoiler and side skirt and wheels.
