Cupra Born (2022-2024)
Cupra Born 58kWh 204PS
The Cupra Born 58kWh 204PS is among the cheapest EVs to run, about 1.9p a mile on an off-peak tariff, about £1,899 a year less than a petrol equivalent. The car’s substantial weight of 1,828 kg reduces both efficiency and tyre life.
By eight years on the road it should still hold about 84% of its battery health, roughly 268 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you’re buying used. What owners say: Owners enjoy the styling and cabin, preferring the Born’s sharper handling to the VW ID.3 on which it is based. Infotainment attracts the most complaints: slow responses and glitches, sometimes needing a reset, although updates have improved it.

BalancedOwners Love
- Owners enjoy the styling and cabin, preferring the Born’s sharper handling to the VW ID.3 on which it is based
- Efficient in everyday driving, with owners commonly reporting 210-270 miles per full charge in mild conditions
- Very low running costs on an overnight tariff, with modest servicing needs
Watch Out For
