CUPRA Born Wins Small Electric Car of the Year at What Car Awards 2022

The CUPRA Born has been named ‘Small Electric Car of the Year’ at the prestigious What Car? Awards 2022. Having launched in 2021, the CUPRA Born’s entrance to the EV market has certainly been a strong one.

Here are five reasons it’s a deserved winner in its class.

Impressive electric range

The 58kWh battery version provides a decent range of 263 miles from a single charge. It also supports rapid charging, meaning you can boost the battery from 10-80% in just 30 minutes when using a 100kW rapid charger.

Great performance

It’s a nippy car – the 201bhp electric motor can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 7.3 seconds. Plus, there’s also an e-boost option for those wanting some extra power – this adds a further 27bhp.

Fun to drive

The CUPRA Born is an enjoyable drive. It has firm suspension and sharp handling, making it great fun to drive on winding roads, but you'll also feel at ease on longer motorway journeys.

Practical

As well as being a fun motor – CUPRA haven’t forgotten about practicality. With plenty of head and legroom (even for the tallest of adults) and 385 litres of boot space to store your belongings, it’s certainly a serious option for families.
