First electric family car from Spain’s performance-focused brand has hot hatch looks and decent handling but lukewarm straight line performance

The Curpa Born is the first purely electric car from the Spanish performance brand and, like the Formentor, is unique to the marque rather than being a rebadged Seat.

Cupra says it is the perfect match between electrification and performance, using the proven VW Group MEB platform but with Cupra’s own sporty spin on it.
