Born 150 kW - 59 kWh (MY25-26)

The CUPRA Born 150 kW - 59 kWh (MY25-26) is a 5-seat hatchback with rear-wheel drive, sold new from 2025 to 2026, when it cost €40,450 in Germany, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.7 seconds, slower than 67% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 224 miles (360 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 34% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 14th of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 3.8 mi/kWh (164 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 59 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 110 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 258 miles (416 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand in Germany, a 2025 example is estimated at €23,100–€26,300 and a 2026 one at €23,100–€26,300, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 219 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
