The model
Read full Cupra Born reviewThe Cupra Born borrows all the good bits from the VW ID 3 and adds a slightly more polished interior and sharper handling. The entry-level 58kWh V1 version makes the most sense, although it's still much more expensive than an equivalent MG4.
The trim
See full equipmentEntry-level V1 trim gets you LED headlights, climate control, various parking aids and 18in alloy wheels. It's all you really need and there are various option packs available.
The engine
See full engine specsThe fastest Born has 228bhp available, trimming the 0-62mph time down to 6.6sec (or 7.0sec) depending on which battery size you choose. In the real world, though, it’s hard to detect a difference in pace between the e-Boost and the regular car.
