AI generated from our expert reviews

If you are choosing between these two electric cars, the Toyota C-HR+ gives you a bigger boot for carrying luggage. In town, the Cupra Born offers a full one-pedal drive mode that lets you travel through stop-and-start traffic without touching the brake pedal, whereas the C-HR+ has no one-pedal driving mode. When coming to a halt, the Toyota has a sharp brake pedal that is very easy to modulate, while the Born's spongy brake pedal makes it hard to know how much pressure to apply. Inside, the C-HR+ features physical heater dials, whereas the Born relies on screen-based climate controls that are a pain to use on the move. Out on twisty roads, both models resist leaning too much in the bends, though both make sitting three people across the back seat something of a squeeze.
