Milton Keynes, 18-07-2024 – The high-performance CUPRA Born VZ has officially opened for order in the UK, marking a new chapter in electric vehicle excellence. With a starting price of £44,625 MDP, this latest version of CUPRA’s first fully electric model promises to deliver an exhilarating driving experience through its enhanced power and performance features.
The CUPRA Born VZ stands out with its powerful 79kWh electric powertrain, capable of delivering an impressive 326PS of power and 545Nm of torque – a significant 75% increase compared to other Born versions. This powerhouse setup enables the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 62mph in just 5.6 seconds, with a top speed limited to 124mph.
Performance is not the only area where the Born VZ excels. The model features a sportier interior that includes new Enceladus Grey CUP bucket seats and a Sennheiser Premium Audio sound system, providing a premium in-cabin experience. On the exterior, the vehicle is equipped with 20-inch Thunderstorm alloy wheels and offers the exclusive Dark Forest paint finish option.
Marcus Gossen, Director of SEAT and CUPRA UK, expressed his excitement about the new model, stating, “The CUPRA Born is an incredibly popular model, and we’re thrilled with the impact it has made as our first all-electric offering. At CUPRA, we continuously strive to exceed expectations, and the Born VZ does exactly that. More power, enhanced refinement, and builds upon the strengths of an already exceptional car.”
Efficiency has not been compromised despite the vehicle’s impressive performance capabilities. The upgraded battery pack offers a net capacity of 79kWh, allowing for a range of up to 372 miles on a single charge. The Born VZ can be recharged at home using an 11kW AC system or at a DC 185kW fast-charging point, where a fast charge from 10% to 80% takes just 26 minutes.
The CUPRA Born VZ also includes a suite of advanced technologies, such as keyless entry (KESSY advanced), Car 2X intelligent vehicle networking, and a wireless phone charger, all provided as standard. These features underscore CUPRA’s commitment to blending cutting-edge technology with high performance.
