As part of the strategy until 2025, CUPRA plans to produce its first fully electric car. It is a CUPRA Born model.

The model will be presented at the end of the year, and several versions of the design already exist. The car will be based on the VW Group MEB-Lite platform which is under development.

Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (DCC Sport) allows CUPRA Born to adapt to all conditions providing superior driving pleasure.

The interior of the car is a combination of modern technology and high quality materials.

Wayne Griffiths, CUPRA CEO said: “CUPRA Born displays all the genes of the CUPRA brand and we have taken the original concept to the next level creating a new sporty and dynamic design and reengineering the technological content. CUPRA Born is the living proof that performance and electrification are a great match. ”

The company is in talks with the Spanish government over the development of charging infrastructure for electric cars.

The focus of CUPRA’s engineers was to accelerate the car from 0-50 km / h in 2.9 seconds. Thanks to the 77kWh battery, one charge allows the car to cover a distance of 500 km. A 30-minute charge is enough to cover a distance of 260 km.

The car will be produced at the Zwickau plant in Germany.
