Video Summary

- The vehicle is a Cupra Born, the twin of the ID.3, with an 82-kilowatt hour battery.
- A range test is performed.

- It's a semi-stripped-down model, missing auto-steering.
- The instrumentation cluster follows the steering wheel.
- The vehicle has head-up display and augmented reality features.
- The model reviewed doesn't have matrix lights.
- Compared to a previous ID.3 test with warm weather and different tires, the Cupra shows slightly higher energy consumption.
- The reviewer observes a significantly lower kilowatt-hour output for the Cupra's battery than expected, only 67.5 kilowatts instead of the expected 75.5.
- Charging is shown in the interface with 8 kilometers per minute instead of kilowatt information.
- It can change the ambient lightning colours and the intensity.
- There are adjustable suspension and steering modes.
- The tester is uncertain why there appears to be so little of the potential kWh capacity present in the battery of the tested vehicle.
