Cupra, after launching a slew of aggressive, high-performance cars, has finally introduced its first fully electric vehicle. Say hello to the Cupra Born, formerly known in concept guise as the el-Born. There are four battery variants available at launch, with outputs ranging from 150 PS to 231 PS.
Designed and developed in Barcelona, the Cupra Born will enter production later this year at the Volkswagen Group’s Zwickau plant in Germany, which is the largest EV factory in Europe. The Born uses the same MEB architecture as the Volkswagen ID range, so much of its underpinnings – including the electric powertrain and battery capacity – will be familiar.
