For the rest, the Born will be based on the MEB platform of the Volkswagen group, such as ID.3 in particular. Its power could be 299 ch (like the Volkswagen ID.4 GTX) even 315 ch. Also equipped with a sports chassis with piloted suspension, the car will be able to go from 0 to 50 km / h in just 2.9 seconds. Cupra has also already promised a 77 kWh battery for a range of 500 km

. It will also be possible to recover 260 km of autonomy in 30 minutes with fast charging.

On board, the atmosphere will be both sporty and premium including sports bucket seats, recycled materials and an augmented reality head-up display. Not to mention a small digital instrument cluster and a large central touch screen.

Produced in Zwickau, Germany, the Cupra Born will be marketed in the second half of 2021,
