Charging
The Cupra Born can rapid charge at up to 115 kW. On a 7 kW home wallbox, a full charge from empty takes roughly 11 hours for the largest battery, although most day-to-day top-ups take far less time. See charging times and public charging costs.
Battery and warranty
The sources we used do not name the battery chemistry for this car. Ask the dealer, as it affects how the battery should be charged day to day. See battery types explained. Check the battery warranty terms (years, mileage and minimum capacity) with the seller.
Space and towing
It has 5 seats and a boot of about 385 litres. No towing rating is listed in our sources, so do not assume it can tow until the manufacturer confirms.
Electric Car Grant
All versions are on the Electric Car Grant list, in Band 2 (£1,500). The seller applies the grant as a discount. Confirm the exact version and price before you order. See the Electric Car Grant and EV tax.
Reliability
Reliability scores come from the Warrantywise Reliability Index, which uses data from used cars, so many new models do not have a score yet. See the Cupra page and the Index explained.
