We're delighted to say a big "Hola, Hola" to CUPRA's first all electric vehicle, the CUPRA Born.
This sleek and sporty high performance hatchback looks a bit different from the endless electric SUVs on the market and we rather like it. It comes with options for a 45 kWh, a 58 kWh or a 77 kWh battery and with a 125 kW DC charging capability you can charge from 5% to 80% in around 35 minutes.
The interior is swish, packed with great technology and has seats made from a recycled polymer fabric sourced from plastic extracted from oceans - nice! UK pricing will be announced in the Autumn with deliveries starting at the beginning of 2022 but it's pretty obvious to us that this will be extremely popular. There's an awful lot to like about this car and we'll be test driving it as soon as we can!

OMG, it may have the underpinnings of the ID.3 but wow it looks so much better in my opinion.
Indeed 👍
Couldn't be uglier
Yes the iD.3 is a sorry looking box
They got rid of the ugly bonnet of the Id3! Hoooray.... I was always wondering why the heck VW designed it that way.....
Agreed. It almost looks more Golf-like. I like it!
What a gorgeous looking car !!
Now that is a good looking hot-hatch!
I’ve been driving SEAT’s for over 10 years and will definitely be having a test drive of this 🤩 looks great ⚡️🔋
You need to get out more mate
You get a lot of car for your money with Seat.
@@cbcdesign001 it’s a cheap car with cheap plastics.
Yeah, when the latest Cupras are costing the same as an equiv BMW or Mercedes they definitely aren't the cheap car anymore :(
@@infernalbadger comparing the golf r/seat cupra with mercedes/audi/bmw is silly because the cupra and golf r are almost full specced and the models that you compare are base models. When you add some options the Mercedes/Bmw will cost you 15-20% more than golf r/cupra leon.
It’s sad that we don’t have cars like this in America. We are always stuck with big suv, even if they are electric
For real there are so many cool cars from other countries.
But then we, in the UK, didn't get the 2nd generation Chevy Volt or any of the Bolt's (the perfect car for UK roads) and Europe only got the Bolt upto 2019!
We still can't buy the Model Y and you can't buy the ID3's etc! That's world automotive politics for you!
Model 2 incoming
u have Tesla, u dont need crap like these
@@alexmarinescu2873 There are many folks with no interest in Tesla. I waiting on an ID.4.
El Born is a neighborhood of Barcelona. All Seat cars are named in honor of Spanish places. In case you need some extra information.
I highly recommend the bar Creps al Born to anyone who goes there. Great cocktails, great atmosphere for a late night drink with a crepe alongside!
@Ross Bourne Not been there will give it a try when we are allowed to go!
All Seat cars are NOT named after Spanish places!
Loved Barcelona but beware thieves, pick pockets and check prices in restaurants before you order.
@@koitorob el 600 y el 127 no. Pero desde los 80, quitando el Panda, ya todos.
Best looking VAG electric offering yet
Everyone loves a good looking VAG.
@@simonhughes-king8493
Ooooo .. I SAY!!!
(Better than the dirty smelly ones of a few years ago!!)
Look at Audi Porsche and Skoda

👍Love your show and love the Electric Cars or any other E-devices. ✅ And this one is insane I mean the range would absolutely be perfect with this stunning look.
it's great that the VW group will reuse their MEB platform for so many models and brands. This is good news for everyone as with common parts comes both reliability and reduced costs in the end. And the fact that it does not go 0-60 in -200 seconds is also excellent. Hot Hatches are not supposed to be supercars, just really fun to drive. So a perfectly pitched car. Looking forward to having a test drive in this one later in the year.
What you're saying is
"Parts bin good"
(It's what they've done for many years across VAG)
Agree with the 0-60 times
Give me a 5 door focus sized, 8.0sec 0-60mph ,85mph top speed and with a 400 mile real world range EV at sub £25'000,with 200kw charging capability and watch them fly out a showroom
Looks so much better than the ID.3 that it is based on. I’d happily drive it just based on the looks alone.
“Hola Hola!” Love it! 😂 And finally another model with over 300 miles range! 👌🏼🎉
No other EV has ever given me such a buy-impulse. The Fiat 500e came close but it feels a little bit too much like a fashion accessory, but this one? Good looks, aggressive hot-hatch styling, 50-50 weight distribution, rear wheel drive, short wheel base and an abundance or torque? What's not to like? I wants it.
Significantly more expensive (and faster, and longer range) than the Fiat 500e
@@whispie. Yeah, but the limited range (ok and size) is one thing that makes me feel the 500 is a bit of a fashion accessory. No, I do not suffer from range anxiety, but with less than 300 km real-world highway range it looks a lot like a shopping cart for rich people (like the Honda). Also, the 500 isn't that much cheaper than the cupra, is it?
@@panzerkami2381 I agree with you but wouldn't call it a fashion accessory, I'd just call it "a second car for accommodated people". It's not unusual to see a large SUV (e.g. Audi Q7) parked next to a Fiat 500, Mini convertible, Mazda Mx5 or any other "more fun car" to be used as a daily driver. And yes, I agree with you that for a shopping cart (or simply a daily driver), 300km is enough. I own an ICE Fiat 500 and I've made road trips with it, but simply because for me it's my only car, not a second toy car, and that's the reason for which the new Fiat 500e doesn't suit my needs
Robert's version of Batman-voice CUPRA needs to be a thing!
-Much Love, from Pakistan
Its basicaly a rebadged id3 with nicer interior would take this over id3 any day.
Yes, and they (VAG) prolonged "cannibalism" with another better brand. Earlier Skoda and Seat.
Oh yes please!
Nicer everything, and they have a option to get a bit more power and a boost button so you get 230bhp
Looks great, but I really hate that new VW infotainment system. It's just not very nice to use.
it is exactly the same horse shit that VW is forcing into seat/cupra, skoda and even audi had to suck it up and use that crap and put it into the q4.
and the limitation to 160km/h and calling it a "cup-racer" is like the dieselgate all over again. they should have called it a seat. it is NOT a cupra.
Vegan recycled microfiber...i'm sold 😍
All that, and it looks so good too. A refreshing change from the SUV's we all supposedly want!
Last week I went out in the Audi GT e-tron, ooof the acceleration is something special.. I was sold on electric cars.
I’ve had a stage 2 Leon Cupra R, 19 plate Mk3.5 Leon Cupra and now a 20 plate Lux Cupra.. so would I go for this electric Cupra.. hell yes. Best of both worlds.
Another perfectly serviceable electric car. Price is the key question at this point. The copper accents are interesting.
Looks nice about the right size for my needs, more competition in this market is great news
Brisbane/Queensland lost one of our PowerStation today causing blackouts, If only EV to grid was already mainstream
unfortunately my Powerwall isn't being installed for a couple of weeks.😢
buy an Ioniq 5 with V2L
I was saying the same...but another Tesla battery for Queensland 🤷🏻♂️😛
I know Australia is big but a power station is quite large to lose..... ;-)
@@bigbadjohn10 I'm sure they'll find it's just gone "walk-about" somewhere in the outback, beyond the Black Stump. LoL
Love the looks of this one
This in an estate would be amazing!
If you like compact cars and you don´t like SUVs the choice of EVs is quite limited so far. A faster and better looking ID.3 is a good start, but I´m also curious what Audi does with the platform apart from an Q4 e-tron.
looks gorgeous in those colours
So an ID3 with different costume! Will wait for the Skoda version with some physical buttons like the Enyaq! Perfect size though!
No Skoda version announced. I would've been interested in one myself.
@@stephenholland5930 I’ve read 2025, but I guess they don’t have the money to develop their version of that model. I might lease an ID3 2023 when my Citigo lease ends.
This is the car I've been looking for to replace my current hatch. A fun small(er) car with decent range and charging that I can use for a commute and enjoy a drive in. I think it looks great!
She's a stunner
Yes please, looks amazing!!!
Thats a gogeous looking car.
We need more estate/station wagons from any/all manufacturers. They are all so fixated with SUVs and hatchbacks.
!!Glacias. Glacias!! I'm very excited about smaller EVs becoming available!
This sounds fantastic, finally a sporty small-ish car. I'm only a bit surprised at how 'slow' it is - I guess down to the battery size.
Battery size only affects speed through its weight, the power of the motor determines the speed
That's a nice looking car!
So looking forward to the Seat Marbella e 🐼
That sounds like the perfect name for a two seater convertible 🤩
Excellent. The more of these interesting EVs the better.
Looks great and I love the voice activation :)
Good looking car, I'd pick this over the ID3 but the Ioniq 5 is still my choice. And yes I hate SUVs too.
The Hyundai is ID.4 sized??
Imagine an ioniq 4😍
@@rogerstarkey5390 To be honest I'm hoping the Ioniq 5 is not, but if it is that big, I may have to wait for a smaller and non SUV variant
Sounds awesome, although I prefer traditional knobs and dials for A.C. etc. I hope to be able to test drive one in the future myself. Good video, thank you :)
Hi Robert and FC team, thanks so much for sorting the audio out! This video sounded mint!
This Essex boy is definitely saying “Yes” to the Cupra’s looks. Now… 4wd, and half the 0-60 time maybe? Who am I kidding? These days with such a stunning car and modest stats, I could live with that and even pop tow bar on for a camping trailer. Though will it have similar charge/power features as that new ioniq? 🤔
Autofocus for the win, the Microphone was in perfect focus throughout! ;)
Looks nice. I guess Seat will produce their own version in the not too distant future since Cupra is the more expensive offspring.
Thanks for another great video
1.) Slow Charging times
2.) Charging stations availability
3.) Charger plug standardization
These are the 3 main factors keeping EVs from going mainstream... 4.) Entry prices as well. That's a big one too. Not everyone is rich enough to afford a $30k car.
huge SEAT fan, had a few, currently an Ateca, due to be changed at xmas, been waiting for this since i first heard of it, a much nicer looking, much higher spec VW for less money (like every SEAT)
Except for Cupra is no longer part of the Seat brand. Meaning it's not going to be priced below VW, as a Seat FR would've been. They realized that they would earn much more money if they separated the Cupra brand rather than adding the Cupra last name to an existing Seat model
What a handsome car! cant wait!
Robert loves his driver's binnacle, so do I! lol
once all the covid restrictions are gone you should visit the town of Vauban, in Freiburg Germany. they are way ahead of the game in terms of sustainability and it would be great to see an episode about that
The main question is, it looks like a hot hatch, but will it handle like one?
Considering it weighs 1700kg, probably not
Wow. Nice car. Very Spanish too. ❤️
Cheers for the video 😎👌
The MyCupra app - if it's anything like the standard Mk4 Leon app, it's not that good, though they are supposed to be improving it
I swear, at this rate VW Group models in 10 years will differ by the brands logo and possible options. The designs will base on a single concept. Polestar 2 please.
A bit of a shame that you guys didn't get the chance to go to Barcelona for the first look release, but thanks for the video, it was instructive :)
Great Chanel!
Definitely looks like a fun car to hoon around town in or do some twisties up the side of a mountain. Good Job Cupra.
Looks nice. Crossed fingers they price this reasonably and it may be a good (smaller) replacement for my I-Pace next year.
Thank you for the video Robert.
Seems to land at similar price as ID.3. Higher specs for the price though
It's like an ID3 but more gorgeous 😍
Looks great!
Give me physical dials for A/C & to manage the infotainment and I'm sold. Looks nice, but a bit rotund.
I think it's fine to say "this car also has that feature, that other car also has that feature" but I think what's key here is this particular car has a unique collection of liberally cribbed features.
Really hope they use this platform to make a cheap skoda version 🤞🤞🤞
Would be very interesting if you had a program talking about how to charge an EV and the differences between suppliers also please focus on the different batteries
Mucho grandi
Just saw a billboard advertising for a different brand with the Hastag "bornelectric"... well played Cupra :-)
It looks nice!
I was leaning towards a peugeot e-208, but this just looks that much better!
Would love this in Canada :)
Nice design.
Is the Seat el Born now effectively dead? I was hoping that we’d get a better value ID3-sized car from Seat and Skoda on MEB. This feels like it will be priced as sports-premium. The Leon has regularly undercut the Golf, did they get told off by VW for doing a better job?
Afraid so Andrew. I looked into this (because I loved the look of the Seat version, no need for ridiculous acceleration) but from what I was told VW were concerned about ID3 sales and decided not to allow it. I'm still hopeful that there will be a Seat version in future but might be 3 years+ down the line.
@@lockie3969 lol wonderful, that will be too late for my current Seat lease running out. I guess I’ll be changing brands then in that case haha.
The flexibility of the electric drive train has freed up the layout possibilities of BEVs, but only a few manufacturers have taken advantage of what this can mean for design, practicality and ultimately, cost. It's time to forget what ICE cars looked like and design an electric car from the ground up.
Canoo.
OMG Finally another harchback, that makes ONLY about 5 Hatchbacks for UK so so so little choice, as over 100 are SUVs or saloon style.
Interesting version of the ID3. Looks so much better too.
Saw this car today in Southampton. Great looking car.
Finally. One i might actually buy.
Promising!!
Nice
When are these company's going to realize this is what we want to see, not SUVs. Like give me an electric Yaris GR
When their sales figures say otherwise. I drive an estate but I definitely understand that these companies have to make money to survive. At the moment they are doing this through SUVs and the noise of a few really loud SUV haters isn't going to drown out their sales figures unfortunately
@@TheJouvea I don't have the data, but I believe this is mainly for petrol/diesel markets. I am not sure that EV buyers are as infatuated with SUVs
@@prudx2775 there are several reasons why many new EVs are SUVs including the practicality of placing batteries under a car, but one of the reasons many of the new EVs are crossovers is because they want to appeal to that large SUV/Crossover market now that the laws are in favour of EVs
@@TheJouvea I suppose that's pretty fair analysis, they're trying to persuade the existing customer base. I just want more cool efficient hot hatches, I'd wager to say a majority of SUV owners don't need an SUV, they'd be just fine with an estate or a hatchback. SUVs are just sexy right now. Kind of like people who buy pickup trucks, because merica
@@prudx2775 I have the GR Yaris. Would love to see an electric one someday 😍
The vehicule specs are quite good and the design is pretty impressive 👍🏻
It’s sooo much better looking than the ID.3.
That looks like it was designed in a kids animated cartoon. Chuggington but for cars.
Looks awesome.
That’s my next new car order sorted. 👌🏻
Hey, tesla don't have navigation in their app. If I understood correctly and the Cupra had charging-aware navigation in the app that's nice!
I love the look of this EV
It looks really nice, as usual price will be the deciding factor, how much more than a comparable ICE model will this be, and will the saving from electric over petrol make the upfront cost worth it.
WOW I like the looks of this car, especially the interior. I want one! sadly we never get the really cool EV's in the US.
Great looking car!
Awesome ev
Robert....
"Gracias por ver"
Love it! I thought it looked like a sportier ID.3 before learning it's part of the VW group. Personally, I felt it could have been a smaller ID.3 but because it's the Cupra sport range I imagine it will cost more than an ID.3?
Lovely little hatch and a darned shame this or its cousin, the ID3 will not be sold in the US. How about getting Rory back? Or mixing up the hosts a bit?
It's great that we are now seeing the new cars coming out, almost got to the point where it seems mainstream now. Robert's continual mention of 'this is not new' says it all; there's many cars out there already that have many of the features mention. Is there a list somewhere that has all the fully electric vehicles out there in the market?
Mmmm. Coche realmente bonito (really nice car).
So basically this is an ID.3 with a slightly more aggressive styling. Looking good though!
With 12" screen instead of 10" in the id3. Plus you can disable the ESC..! 👍
If it comes to Australia before 2030 I'd like one
Nice car
Looks good. Just a note on your spanish,Robert,the H in Hola is silent.
Great looking offering from SEAT, but I bet it will be touching 35 to 40k once UK pricing has been announced....
I'd agree, I'm sure when it was first announced SEAT were only going to offer 77 kWh battery as well, I guess since SEAT have spun off the Cupra brand they're getting ideas
I like the Born. Its a shame its not a little faster, but hopefully that will keep the price bracket in a sensible place. Whats all this fantasy range business Robert? WLTP is dramatically more accurate than NEDC! Not quite as accurate as EPA, but WLTP range is perfectly achievable in warm summer weather provided you aren't driving too aggressively.
Cupra will be made on the SAME assembly line as ID.3. Downside is that Cupra and ID.3 both can only handle 100 Kg on the tow-hitch
that cooling blurb sounded a lot like a PC water cooling episode of LTT.
Looks nice, but I think us mere mortals will be a lot more excited by a Skoda version of the id3 and pricing.
