CUPRA Born VZ: Unleashing Electric Performance with 570km Range and 5.7s 0-100km/h


 The CUPRA Born VZ is the latest addition to the CUPRA Born vehicle line-up, offering 240kW of power and 545Nm of torque, combined with improved suspension setting geometry, sports-tuned steering, and improved braking feel. This combination gives the CUPRA Born VZ the ultimate performance in its segment and makes it one of the most dynamic cars in its segment.


The all-electric system of the CUPRA Born has been upgraded to deliver 240kW of power, a 40% increase over the e-Boost version, and 75% more torque than any other Born version. This means the CUPRA Born VZ can reach 100km/h (62mph) from a standing start in just 5.7 seconds, one second faster than the e-Boost version. Top speed is also increased to 200km/h (124mph) – 40km/h (25mph) more than the e-Boost version.

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. However, performance isn't achieved by sacrificing efficiency; the CUPRA Born VZ can travel up to 570km* (335 miles). The battery pack has been improved and now offers 79kWh of net capacity (+2kWh), making it practical for home use or at a DC 170kW fast-charging point.

The exterior design of the CUPRA Born VZ is enhanced with two new color choices: special Dark Forest and Midnight Black options. The car also comes with two new 20-inch alloy wheels, with different technologies like 3D copper inserts or forged technology, to emphasize its sporty spirit. Wider, high-performance tires help deliver the CUPRA Born VZ's power and torque to the road through its rear wheels.

Inside, the CUPRA Born VZ continues its emotional design with standard cup bucket seats, shared with the CUPRA Formentor VZ5 and CUPRA Leon VZ Cup. The cup bucket seats are made from upcycled SEAQUAL® yarn textile and DINAMICA with 73% recycled polyester.

The CUPRA Born VZ moves digitalization forward with a new floating 12.9-inch infotainment system, which mixes touchscreen inputs with a retro illuminated touch bar to adjust interior climate and volume. The high-powered 425-watt system integrates Sennheiser's AMBEO Concerto software, allowing drivers to cycle through the three different levels while in 'D' mode, helping to match their driving style.

The interior is illuminated with Smart Light technology as standard, providing warnings and indications to the driver and other occupants. Horizontal full-LEDs wrap around the width of the dashboard to enhance specific features, giving warnings and indications to the driver and other occupants.

The brand's dedication to safety and convenience is instantly recognisable from the large range of upgraded and new advanced driver assistance systems available. Travel Assist 2.6 combines Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Lane Assist, improving the driving experience of the CUPRA Born VZ. Parking is now incredibly easy with the new Remote Park Assist, Trained Parking Assist, and Top View Camera. Safety and convenience technology suites include Side Assist, Front Light Assist, Dynamic Road Sign Display, and Exit Warning.
