“… Born is not a sensible family car. It’s arguably the world’s first BEV hot hatch, compact in size and tuned for driving fun.” – David Linklater, drivencarguide.co.nz
“The all-electric Cupra Born offers a sporty edge over its EV hatchback rivals.” – Paul Adam, AutoExpress.co.uk
With a long range, unique styling, generous standard equipment and European appeal, the new Cupra Born is quite possibly the easiest electric vehicle to recommend in the current zero-emissions market. – Daniel Gardner, WhichCar.com.au
A masterpiece in motion
The Born is defined by styling cues taken from the headlamps, creases in the bonnet and framing of the CUPRA badge, which combine to convey strength. This distinctively CUPRA styling continues on the interior, with the upholstery crafted from a range of quality materials that give a premium touch. The bucket seats are made from SEAQUAL® yarn, which is created from upcycled marine plastics. The finishing touches are provided by the iconic CUPRA copper accents throughout. Overall, the Born seamlessly showcases CUPRA’s design DNA.

*WLTP is the new official EU test used to calculate standardised fuel consumption and CO₂ figures for passenger cars. It measures fuel, energy consumption, range and emissions. This is designed to provide figures closer to real-world driving behaviour. It tests vehicles with optional equipment and with a more demanding test procedure and driving profile. Figures are shown as a range under WLTP testing measures. The most economical figures refer to the most efficient/lightest set of options. A vehicle’s actual fuel consumption may differ from that achieved in such tests and these figures are for comparative purposes only.
Clean Car Rebates/Fees
**Please note that NZ Government Clean Car rebates/fees apply for new vehicles registered from the 1st April, 2022. Values stated should be taken as guidance only and may be subject to change without notice. Terms and conditions apply, please refer to cupraofficial.co.nz.
