Welcome everyone to my review of the new Cupra Born.

The Born is Cupra’s first EV and shares a lot of its underpinnings with the VW ID.3. However, for Cupras car to stand out it needed more than just a different face. So it’s a little lower and being sold as an electric hot hatch!!


Underneath we have 2 battery and 3 trims available.
A 58 and 77 kWh batteries with an e-Boost option (standard on the 77kWh). Power is 201 bhp which is upped to 228 with the e-Boost for 30 seconds. So 0-62 on the 58kWh is 7.3 or 6.6 seconds. 7.0 for the larger and heavier 77kWh.

Trim levels are easy to remember. You have V1, V2 and top of the range V3.

Charging is a decent 135kWh capability so 10-80% should take around 40 mins.

And finally range is between 254 and 341 miles.
