The Cupra Born VZ is another step closer to an electric hot hatch, with extra performance and cutting-edge technology. It's the most powerful Born yet with a 79kWh battery, which is slightly larger than the standard Born's 77kWh pack. The Current RRP is now €47,585 which is a significant price reduction to note.
This upgrade results in an official WLTP range of up to 592km, making it one of the longest-range EVs in its class. And with a genuine 10-80% top-up in 35 mins, you don't have to worry about gingerly using the battery power.
