Cupra's latest incarnation continues to build on its success, writes Julie Marshall
-
The Born was Cupra's first wholly electric vehicle.
Since its release in 2021, it has won numerous awards the most recent being the Best Family Car at the 2025 Business Car Awards in September.
It's a nice little car and deserves all the praise heaped on it.
As Cupra is a member of the VW Group, there are similarities to other electric models, namely the Volkswagen ID.3, but it is far more sporty in both looks and handling. The front end of the Born, in particular, is far more striking than in the ID.3
There are two sizes of battery - 59kWh and 77kWh - we drove a model with the larger of the two.
It has a pretty decent 0-62mph figure of 7.1 seconds and a top speed of 99mph. Not the fastest on the market, but quick enough for most.
