This new high-end version of the Cupra Born remains below the threshold of €47,000. Therefore, it is eligible for the maximum bonus.
Creating a sporty vehicle starting from a Volkswagen ID.3 was certainly a challenging task for Cupra with the Born. To achieve this, the manufacturer launched a VZ 230 version boosted to 230 hp, in addition to the standard 204 hp model.
Initially offered exclusively with the 58 kWh battery, the Born VZ 230 has recently become available with the larger 77 kWh battery. With this, the range increases by 129 km, reaching up to 550 km (WLTP cycle). However, note that this is the optimal value. With some optional equipment, the car’s range can drop to 527 km.
The appearance of a new higher-capacity battery does not affect performance. The Cupra Born VZ 230 with a 77 kWh battery still accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 160 km/h.
Plug & Charge now available on the Cupra Born
The charging power of the Born can reach up to 170 kW on a fast charging station. Like other vehicles based on the VW Group’s MEB platform, the electric compact from Cupra now features “Plug & Charge”. With this system, charging automatically starts at compatible stations without the need for an app or a badge. Payment is then made via direct debit.
With the 77 kWh battery, the Cupra Born VZ 230 starts at €46,500. It is therefore eligible for the €6,000 ecological bonus, granted for the purchase of an electric car costing less than €47,000.
