The Cupra Born is the first all-electric model from the brand and the perfect match between electrification and performance.

Cupra takes this impulse further with the Cupra Born VZ – the latest addition to the vehicle line-up from Cupra – a new and more powerful version to inspire the world from Barcelona.

VZ stands for Veloz in Spanish, meaning fast, a seamless way to describe the brand’s latest vehicle. The Cupra Born VZ delivers 240kW of power and 545Nm of torque, applied to the road through its improved suspension setting geometry, sports-tuned steering, and improved braking feel. These aspects combine to give it the ultimate performance in the Cupra Born line-up and make it one of the most dynamic cars in its segment.

The Cupra Born VZ takes the advanced powertrain technology of the Cupra Born and turns the dial up: the all-electric system now delivers 240kW of power – a 40% increase over the e-Boost version. Torque is also upped to a staggering 545Nm – 75% more than any other Born version. It means the Cupra Born VZ can reach 100km/h from a standing start in just 5.7 seconds - one second faster than the e-Boost version. Top speed is also increased and now limited to 200km/h - 40km/h more than the e-Boost version.

The Cupra Born VZ also brings improvements to the chassis to make sure its dynamics match the outright numbers.

New DCC Sport suspension, responsive steering behaviour and improved brake pedal feeling, as well as a robust rear brake. Altogether to create a superior dynamic performance.

At the rear of the Cupra Born VZ new dampers and springs combine with the front’s updated damper valve settings and spring design, with updated anti-roll bars to create the DCC Sport suspension that delivers better vehicle body control and can soak up and smooth out the tarmac.

The Cupra Born VZ’s steering package is upgraded with new hardware and software to make it sportier.

Dynamic improvements to the vehicle’s braking technology give the VZ a stiffer, more robust brake feel, increasing its directness and reducing softness compared to standard variants of the Cupra Born.

But performance isn’t achieved by sacrificing efficiency, and the Cupra Born VZ is able to travel up to 570km. The battery pack has been improved and now offers 79kWh of net capacity (+2kWh). The technology remains practical; it can be recharged at home using an 11kW AC system or at a DC 170kW fast-charging point, meaning a fast charge from 10 to 80% would just take within 30 minutes.

Exterior Design
The Cupra Born VZ’s exterior design is enhanced with two new colour choices. Exclusively for the Cupra Born VZ is a special Dark Forest, which is also joined by a Midnight Black option.

Aesthetics meets performance with the introduction of two new 20” alloy wheels, with different technologies like 3D copper inserts or forged technology, to emphasize its sporty spirit. Wider, high-performance tyres help deliver the Cupra Born VZ’s power and torque to the road through its rear wheels. The car also comes with wider wheels (8J20’’) instead of the current Cupra Born version (7.5J19’’ and 7.5J20’’).

The finishing measure for the latest iteration of the brand’s 100% electric vehicle is the VZ logo in dark chrome housed on the vehicle’s boot, as well as the Cupra lettering in dark chrome colour.

Interior Design
Inside the Cupra Born VZ continues its emotional design. Standard CUP Bucket seats are an exclusive choice only found in this version of the Cupra Born, but shared with the Cupra Formentor VZ5 and Cupra Leon VZ CUP, with a lower seating feeling to deliver a more ergonomic, sporty seating position. In the case of the Cupra Born VZ, the CUP Bucket seats are made from upcycled SEAQUAL YARN textile as well as DINAMICA with 73% recycled polyester.

In the rear of the vehicle thanks to improvements to the chassis setup, the Cupra Born VZ can offer both five-seat comfort and the vivacity of a sunroof in the same package.

The Cupra Born VZ also incorporates regenerative paddle shifts on the steering wheel, allowing you to choose between 3 different levels of energy recuperation. When the accelerator is released the motor acts as a generator to feed energy back into the battery. Drivers can use the paddle shifters to cycle through three different levels while in ‘D’ mode.
