First drive of the Cupra Born

Video Summary

The Cupra Born is an interesting EV and is sharper-looking, typical for Cupra. It's the brand's first attempt at an electric vehicle, and they've done a pretty good job. It’s smooth, quiet, and a nice place to be.

Performance is smooth and quiet. The large infotainment screen for driver and passenger supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There's also a Formula E-inspired driver's display. It is well-equipped with adaptive cruise control, a heads-up display, and driver modes.

The range is 260 miles or 335 miles with the larger battery. Top speed is 99 mph, going from 0 to 60 in 6.6 seconds. The 0-80% charge time is 35 minutes.

Inside, style meets functionality with high-quality materials, soft-touch surfaces, and meticulously crafted details using eco-conscious materials emphasizing sustainability. It is a perfect balance of comfort and sportiness.

At around £43,370, the reviewed model has all the bells and whistles, though the range starts significantly lower than that and a slightly more base model is available closer to £36,500. With more than 80 EVs on the market, this is a great little car, and it gets a big tick. With this price bracket, whether you’re going for a Tesla Model 3, a Polestar 2, or a Renault Megane E-Tech, you’d be mad to not put this on your shortlist.
