Car changing is a big deal
With a roomy, practical interior and impressive electric performance, this hatchback makes eco-friendly driving effortless. Here’s why it deserves a spot in your garage.
This easy-to-drive electric car is one of the latest models eligible for the government’s electric car grant. While the scheme can save you up to £1,500, you can secure even bigger discounts on this sporty hatchback through Carwow. Indeed, you can save over a whopping £10,300 on a Cupra Born via our site.
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 should you consider the Cupra Born?
The Cupra is quick enough for city traffic and overtaking, with tidy handling thanks to its lowered sports suspension and precise steering, though the brakes feel a bit lifeless.
The regular model isn’t quite the fun-loving electric hot hatch its looks suggest, but the VZ adds more power and spirited performance. It’s still short of the thrills of a petrol hot hatch or a pricier EV such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N though.
That being said, comfort is strong across the range. And on the motorway, the Born settles down well, with only minor road and wind noise.
Overall, the Born is practical, spacious, easy to drive, and has plenty of electric range. It just falls slightly short of the excitement you might expect from a Cupra.
Save over £10,300 on a Cupra Born*
The Cupra Born usually starts at £35,505, but you can get it through Carwow from £27,690. This biggest saving is on the VZ First Edition model, with a staggering £10,391 off at the time of writing, which 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.
Cupra Born alternatives
Still not convinced? Here are some other electric hatchbacks for you to consider:
- Renault 5 E-Tech: Fantastic styling inside and out but rear storage particularly limited.
- MG4 EV: Genuine fun to drive but it lets in a fair bit of road noise.
- Volkswagen ID3: Good range and charging speeds but its large alloys affect comfort in town.
