This slightly unusual and even slightly bizarre futuristic design hides CUPRA's first electric car called el-Born. It is based on the same platform as the electric Volkswagen ID.3 and is about the same size (at least footprint) as the current generation Leon. UPRA el-Born is equipped with a 201 hp electric motor. and has a range of 500 km according to WLTP tests. This is more than any competitor at the same price. Its closest rivals - Renault Zoe and Nissan Leaf - were nowhere near with their 300 and 270 km respectively. The CUPRA el-Born charges up to 80% in just 47 minutes with a 100kW fast charger. But, if you want to save money and buy a conventional wall charger, then the charging time will naturally become longer. Since frost can slightly reduce the range of an electric car, el-Born is equipped with a heat pump that will extend battery life in cold weather by up to 60 km.
