Cupra Born (2022-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
More entertaining to drive than most EVs	Busy ride
Long range with 77kWh battery	Annoying touch-sensitive controls
Sharp and stylish looks	Not as roomy as a Skoda Enyaq

Quick Summary

The Cupra Born (2022-present) is the first bespoke model from Cupra, sharing its rear-wheel-drive MEB platform with the Volkswagen ID.3. It offers various battery options, initially from 45kWh to 77kWh, providing WLTP ranges up to 335 miles, with a newer VZ model featuring a 79kWh battery and 372 miles of range. Power outputs range from 148bhp to 322bhp for the VZ. Its key selling point is sporty styling and handling, making it feel distinct from the ID.3.

Practicality is strong, with more leg and headroom than a VW Golf and a 385-litre boot. On the road, the Born is taut and entertaining, offering a sporty feel, though the ride can be busy on urban roads. It comes well-equipped across V1, V2, V3, and VZ trims, featuring a 12.9-inch touchscreen, but its touch-sensitive controls can be frustrating. Running costs are competitive, with electricity significantly cheaper than petrol or diesel, especially with off-peak charging.

Best for: Drivers looking for an affordable, fun, and stylish electric car, families needing a practical hatchback, and those who value sporty handling.

Not ideal for: Buyers sensitive to busy rides on urban roads, those who prefer physical controls over touch-sensitive interfaces, or those needing maximum interior space (compared to larger EVs like the Skoda Enyaq).


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Born if: You're looking for an affordable, fun, and stylish electric car, a practical family hatchback, or value sporty handling.

Consider alternatives if: You are sensitive to busy rides on urban roads, prefer physical controls over touch-sensitive interfaces, or need maximum interior space.

Competitive Position: The Cupra Born (2022-present) stands out as a compelling electric car, blending affordability with a fun, stylish, and practical family hatchback package. Its sporty driving dynamics set it apart from rivals like the Volkswagen ID.3, while its competitive running costs add to its appeal. However, its touch-sensitive controls can be a frustration, and while practical, it may not offer the outright space of larger alternatives like the Skoda Enyaq. The Renault Megane E-Tech also presents a strong challenge with better user interface and handling/ride comfort.
