AI generated from our expert reviews

Choosing between these electric hatchbacks comes down to how you balance luggage capacity against body size. The Cupra Born is the longer car of the two, yet the Cupra Raval actually provides a bigger boot. Inside, both models give you physical buttons on the steering wheel that are great to use, though you must put up with touch-sensitive climate adjustments that prove annoying on the move. Each cabin also features a disappointingly small glovebox to stash everyday odds and ends. Rear passenger space is accommodating for two adults, but trying to fit three grown-ups across the back seat will feel tight in either car.
