A new “bold” CUPRA Born in 2026!

The CUPRA electric compact car is evolving significantly with an updated design, an improved interior, and more advanced technologies.

Launched in 2021, the CUPRA Born is the first 100% electric model from the Spanish brand. It is built on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform and shares many technical elements with the Volkswagen ID.3. Batteries, architecture, and powertrains are common, but CUPRA has focused on chassis tuning and positioning from the outset to offer a more dynamic alternative.

In 2026, the Born undergoes significant changes. Its exterior design adopts the latest stylistic language of the brand. The front end is distinguished by triangular Matrix LED headlights, while the rear now incorporates an illuminated logo. These elements aim to strengthen the model’s visual identity while modernizing its appearance in the electric compact segment.

A true makeover

The interior also benefits from enhancements. CUPRA announces an increase in perceived quality, with refined materials and a more polished presentation. The infotainment system evolves to integrate more advanced technologies, particularly in connectivity and driving aids. The goal is to provide a smoother and more comprehensive user experience.

On the technical front, the Born maintains its focus on efficiency and electric performance. With its low center of gravity and optimized power management, it aims to strike a good balance between range, dynamism, and driving pleasure.
