The Cupra Born is a fully electric 5 door, 5 seat hatchback that perfectly pairs functionality with a playful, sporty soul. As the brand's pioneering EV, it's evolved into a polished success with a sharper 'shark-nose' design and an interior that now features tactile physical controls and a massive 12.9-inch screen. With 2 refined battery sizes offering up to 372 miles of range and ultra-rapid charging up to 185kW, it provides the best mileage and convenience for any lifestyle; whether you're commuting in the city with its new 1-pedal drive or enjoying the exhilarating 5.6-second sprint of the high-performance VZ model.
The Born stands out as the brand's first fully electric model, built on a dedicated EV platform rather than being adapted from a petrol car. This gives it a unique rear-wheel-drive setup and a flat interior floor that feels roomier than its compact footprint suggests. In terms of feel, it's most comparable to the Leon hatchback due to its agile hot hatch handling, though it also shares a high-tech, minimalist DNA with the larger Tavascan SUV.
While Cupra is a relatively new Spanish brand, it comes from the SEAT family, thus benefiting from their years of experience and industry knowledge. This means you can be assured that the car will not only promise great things but deliver on them too.

The Cupra Born is an excellent choice for drivers who want a practical but still fun to drive hatchback that is fully electric. As a hatchback, it's perfect for first time drivers, small families and those who want a compact vehicle. Though it does have plenty of space with a 385 litre boot, that increases to 1,267 litres with the rear seats down.
As it's electric, the Cupra Born is also ideal for company car drivers who want the lowest BIK rates possible.
You may want to compare the offers we have on Cupra Born leases to other brands or models too. If that's the case then we recommend having a look at the MG4, which is another fully electric hatchback, or the Peugeot 208, which is available as an electric model but also with petrol or diesel engines.
If you like to change your car often or want the latest models, then leasing a car is a great idea. Unlike buying a car outright, leasing gives you the choice of the latest brand new Cupra Born models with just an initial deposit followed by low monthly payments.

We even offer optional maintenance packages, including servicing and MOTs, so you have even less to think about!
The Born's a great choice if you want a practical car that's fun to drive, with a great electric range and sporty looks.

Official figures for the 2026 Cupra Born show it now delivers a range of up to 279 miles on a single charge with the entry-level 58 kWh battery. This provides ample range for both daily commuting and longer journeys. For those needing even more distance, the upgraded 79 kWh battery - available in the performance-focused VZ and long-range models - extends that range to an impressive 372 miles.
Official figures for the 2026 Cupra Born indicate that a full 0–100% charge via an 11kW AC home charger takes approximately 6 hours 30 minutes for the 59kWh battery, increasing to 8 hours 30 minutes for the larger 79kWh pack.
Rapid DC charging is significantly faster, with a 10–80% top-up achievable in just 24 to 26 minutes at a compatible station. It's also important to note that the 2026 model has improved power acceptance; while older versions were capped at 124kW, the latest Born can now accept up to 135kW (59kWh model) or even 185kW (79kWh/VZ models).
