Taking inspiration from the Volkswagen ID.3 GTX Performance, CAMERON RICHARDS finds Cupra's Born VZ is equally as capable of hot hatch thrills
Driving the Born VZ is pleasant as it delivers its power smoothly and without any drama.
There is also a lot of glass, so it's easy to see out of, although the thick front A-pillars can obstruct your view at certain junctions. Also, the racing bucket seats may look great, but they aren’t the most comfortable long distance.
HOW DOES IT LOOK?
The VZ model has very subtle telltale differences over the standard Born. You get gold accents around the front grille, while there is a pattern-effect design located on the C-pillar. The 20in alloy wheels, deep rear diffuser and lowered suspension are the only real clues this is the performance version of a rather handsome electric hatchback.
