Spanish brand Cupra is still new to Australia, so what better way to make a name for yourself than release a new electric car with a genuinely long driving range and a relatively low price? Enter the 2023 Cupra Born. Yep, this small hatchback is looking to shake up the establishment with a battery-electric powertrain that can last up to 511km (WLTP) between charges and 'only' costs $59,990 plus on-roads – that makes it the cheapest EV with at least 500km of driving range, if you don't mind. Needless to say, the Born should have the established Nissan Leaf, soon-to-be-released GWM Ora and upcoming Volkswagen ID.3 shaking in their proverbial boots. But in this expert review, CarsGuide Journalist Tom White finds out if the new Cupra model stands out more than just on paper. #Cupra #Born #Review -- 00:00 Intro 00:26 Pricing and features 02:13 Design 04:06 Practicality 06:04 Under the bonnet 06:31 Driving 08:50 Efficiency 10:01 Safety 10:41 Ownership 11:05 Verdict -- Read Tom's full review: https://carsgui.de/44nIfjp Check out our Cupra Born hub: https://carsgui.de/3VdqKg5 Find more Hatchbacks: https://carsgui.de/3kbB7SL Visit our EvGuide: https://carsgui.de/3PstJOK -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/carsguide Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/carsguide.australia Follow our Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/carsguideaus Follow our TikTok profile: https://www.tiktok.com/@carsguide.com.au Follow our Twitter profile: https://www.twitter.com/CarsGuide Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carsguide-com-au
