Cupra Born
The Cupra Born was touted as one of the first ever electric hot hatches.
Updated in 2026, the Cupra Born has sharp styling with Cupra’s signature ‘three-triangle’ lights front and rear. There’s also an entry-level 58kWh battery using the more affordable lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, while the high-performance VZ version is faster and sportier than before but also offers serious range on one charge. An interior upgrade at the same time enhanced the offering no end.
