The CUPRA badge is renowned for style and performance. Which means that you can have pretty lofty expectations for expecting the fun factor when you put the CUPRA Born on your wish-list for your next all-electric hatchback.
As if the fact that the CUPRA Born recently topped two Autocar EV group tests – including one that focused on driving appeal – wasn't proof enough, it also picked up a glowing five-star review from our colleagues at our sister title What Car?, and was named Best Small Electric Car To Drive in the 2024 What Car?

As you glance down the side of the CUPRA Born, more features pop out to indicate its performance credentials: the eye-catching alloy wheels, the rake of the A-pillar, and the textured colour-contrasting mouldings on the C-pillar.
