July 25, 2025 by Mat Watson
Car changing is a big deal
Find out why this practical and sporty-looking electric hatchback, which you can get from under £30,000, should be on your shopping list.
The electric hatchback market is full of practical choices, but few manage to combine everyday usability with a bit of style and strong performance. If you’re after something with space, decent range, and a sharp design, your options are narrowing, but not gone.
Enter the Cupra Born: a spacious, well-equipped electric hatchback with a practical interior and solid performance. It might not drive quite as sporty as it looks, but it still stands out in its class. And you can get a great deal on it through Carwow.
Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can also sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.
Why consider the Cupra Born?
The Cupra Born is quick enough for city traffic and overtakes with ease, with tidy handling and good grip from its lowered suspension. The brakes feel a bit numb, and despite its sporty looks, it’s more composed than playful – unless you go for the VZ model.
The VZ brings extra power and adds some real fun on twisty roads, though it doesn’t match the thrill of a petrol hot hatch or pricier EVs such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Still, all versions are comfortable and settle well on the motorway, with only minor road and wind noise.
Save over £8,800 on a new Cupra Born*
The Cupra Born usually starts at £35,505, but through Carwow you can get it from £29,265. The biggest savings are on the VZ First Edition model, with £8,891 off at the time of writing. It comes with a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree cameras with park assist, lane change assist and blind sport monitoring as well as a heat pump for improved range in cold weather.
If leasing is more your style, you can lease a V1 Cupra Born from £276 per month with a £2,843.82 initial payment, on a 48-month, 8,000-mile-per-year lease. This comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, a 12-inch central infotainment touchscreen, rear view parking camera, and a heated leather steering wheel.
Alternatives to the Cupra Born
Prefer something else? Here are three other electric options:
- Skoda Elroq: Great all rounder but wobbly over big bumps.
- Renault Scenic E-Tech: Efficient with good range but poor rear visibility.
- Volkswagen ID3: Good range and charging speeds but has annoying infotainment controls.
