About Cupra Born 59 kWh (2024-…)

The Cupra Born 59 kWh (2024-…) is an all-electric rear-wheel drive hatchback. It came out in 2024. Brand new, the car starts around €41,450.

The Cupra Born 59 kWh (2024-…) has a 63 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 346 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 17.1 kWh per 100 km (or 5.86 km per kWh) — ranked №543 out of 824 electric vehicles.

The German version of this trim has a usable battery capacity of 60 kWh.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Cupra Born 59 kWh (2024-…) achieves a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 6.7 seconds (placing it at №48 out of 118 ranked positions, among 824 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and attains a maximum speed of 160 km/h.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 170 kW (228 hp) and a torque of 310 Nm.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

Cupra Born 59 kWh (2024-…) achieves a real-world range of 346 km, placing it at №207 among 334 ranked positions. However, this range is subject to several influences:

Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Cupra Born 59 kWh (2024-…) in Europe comes with a CCS Type 2 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 11 kW, resulting in approximately 58 km of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 165 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.

Use our EV Charging Calculator to estimate charging time, rate, and cost.
