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 5.6 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 is able to 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 gives 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). And 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*.
