Cupra Born

The Cupra Born is a battery electric small family car in the C segment, marketed by SEAT through its performance-oriented Cupra marque. It was first unveiled as the SEAT el-Born concept at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, and the production car was revealed in May 2021 as the Cupra Born after the el- prefix was dropped in February 2021. It is based on the Volkswagen Group MEB platform and is manufactured at the plant in Zwickau, Germany, where the Volkswagen ID.3 is also built. The name comes from a neighbourhood of Barcelona. At launch it came with a 110 kW or a 150 kW rear motor, and a 240 kW VZ followed in 2024, with battery capacities of 45, 55 and 77 kWh and ranges from 340 to 540 km. Production started in September 2021, and a facelift came in March 2026.
