Cupra, formerly known as SEAT Sport, is the high-performance motorsport subsidiary of the Spanish automobile manufacturer SEAT, founded in 1985
A very competent electric hatchback, but not quite the EV hot hatch we expected from Cupra.
It has been a long time coming, the Cupra Born. We first saw it as the Seat el Born concept – named after a particularly trendy neighbourhood in Barcelona – way back in March 2019. So why the brand change?
Well, if the Born had been a Seat it would have had to be slightly cheaper than an ID.3 (as is the case with the Leon and the equivalent Golf) to attract customers. If you’ve sat in a lower-spec ID.3 and poked around at some of the cheap plastics, though, you’ll know that the Volkswagen has already been designed on a budget. It’s all to do with battery costs and profit margins being much tighter for the so-called legacy manufacturers switching to EVs. As a Cupra, the VW Group can price the Born slightly higher than an ID.3 – charging a little bit more for some sharper design and a touch more sportiness. Apparently.

Cupra Born 2022 review
This is the new Cupra Born! It’s an electric family hatchback that promises a bit of sporting edge, and it’s hoping to compete with alternatives like the VW ID.3 and Hyundai Ioniq 5.
And at a glance, the Born certainly looks sportier than the ID.3, with its huge roof spoiler and distinctive side skirts! Up front it has a much sharper face than the ID.3, too, and there are some striking copper-coloured accents for a bit of extra visual wow factor.
The Born arguably looks cooler than the ID.3 inside the cabin, as well. It comes with suede-effect upholstery and body-hugging seats that hold you snugly in place around corners. You get a 12-inch infotainment system on the dash with some sharp-looking graphics and plenty of tech, but the accompanying touch sensitive controls are a bit of pain to use.
There are two battery options for the Cupra Born. The 50kWh battery has a claimed range of 260miles, and should take 9 hours to charge using a 7kW wall charger. The bigger 77kWh battery pack, meanwhile, comes with a range of up to 340miles and takes 12 hours to charge.
