Shane is enjoying the ESC Sport setting in the Cupra Born VZ this week

With all the hype around the (admittedly excellent) Cupra Raval EV, it would be easy to forget that the Born is still available. And it's a notably polished offering.

Shane has a VZ example on test this week in luscious 'Forest Green' but he's more excited by the discovery that using the ESC Sport setting allows for even more fun at the wheel, while keeping the electronic safety net in place. Perfect for damp autumnal roads.

On the flip side, this car is proving remarkably efficient, too, averaging 15.4kWh/100km despite us enjoying its 326hp whenever possible...
