Mat Watson’s deal of the day: fancy £5,900 off this spacious hatchback?
April 04, 2025 by Mat Watson
Car changing is a big deal
This electric hatchback is practical, spacious, easy to drive and has more than enough electric range. Here’s why you should add it to your shopping list.
This car is the sportier looking sibling of the practical Volkswagen ID3, has a 58kWh battery with the 204hp motor and offers up to 342 mile range.
I’m talking about the Cupra Born. This is easily quick enough for ducking and darting in and out of slow moving traffic, and for swift overtaking on faster roads. Despite a bit of tetchiness over the odd lump or bump, it’s comfy enough, and on the motorway it settles down nicely.
Cupra Born deals: save over £5,900*
The Cupra Born usually starts from £35,495, but through Carwow you can get it for £34,386. The biggest savings can be found on the VZ First Edition model, with £5,942 off at the time of writing. With this, you get a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree cameras with park assist, lane change assist and blind sport monitoring as well as a heat pump for improved range in cold weather.
With this car, you get a 12-inch touchscreen on the dash, which packs sharp looking graphics and plenty of tech including satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s a pity it has a tendency to lag and crash, though. Still, there’s a tonne of space in the rear for back seat passengers.
Cupra Born alternatives
Here are some other options for you to consider:
Hyundai Ioniq 5: Retro-futuristic styling looks fantastic but alternatives offer greater range.
Kia Niro EV: Not as roomy as a Sportage but it’s easy and relaxing to drive.
Volkswagen ID3: has good range and charging speeds but has annoying infotainment controls.
