If you’re delving into the world of car buying after a few years away, you could be forgiven for thinking that there’s a new kid on the block - Cupra. And, in some respects, you’d be correct, because the Volkswagen Group (which owns SEAT, Audi and ŠKODA) is keen to establish Cupra as a new, youth-focussed brand with attitude and a sporty brief. In reality, it’s actually a division of Spanish carmaker SEAT, which has discovered that the market for its sporty Cupra-badged models has so much potential that they warrant a badge of their own.

So that’s the back story to the name sorted. Now to the car. The Born is Cupra’s first all electric car (but SEAT’s second after the Mii electric). If you think certain bits look familiar (such as the rear pillar), that’s because it’s based on the Volkswagen ID.3 that was launched last year. Which is no bad thing because the ID.3 is a firm electrifying.com favourite and the perfect car for drivers looking to make the switch from a compact family hatchback into a similarly-sized electric car.

But has Cupra pulled masterstroke here and built the first electric hot hatchback? Nicki Shields finds out.
