The CUPRA Born VZ’s exterior design is enhanced with two new colour choices. Exclusively for the CUPRA Born VZ is special Dark Forest, which is also joined by a Midnight Black option.
Aesthetics meets performance with the introduction of two new 20” alloy wheels, with different technologies like 3D copper inserts or forged technology, to emphasize its sporty spirit. Wider, high-performance tyres help deliver the CUPRA Born VZ’s power and torque to the road through its rear wheels. The car also comes with wider wheels (8J20’’) instead of the current CUPRA Born version (7.5J19’’ and 7.5J20’’).
The finishing measure for the latest iteration of the brand’s 100% electric vehicle is the VZ logo in dark chrome housed on the vehicle’s boot, as well as the CUPRA lettering in dark chrome colour.
Inside the CUPRA Born VZ continues its emotional design. Standard CUP Bucket seats are exclusive to this version, with a lower seating feeling to deliver a more ergonomic, sporty seating position. In the case of the CUPRA Born VZ, the CUP Bucket upholstery is made from upcycled SEAQUAL® YARN textile as well as DINAMICA with 73% recycled polyester.
The CUPRA Born VZ takes its environmental balance further, bringing technology first used in the CUPRA Tavascan EXTREME E race car to the road with CUP Bucket seats enhanced with sustainable, natural flax fibre material for the backrest part.
Taken from the flax plant, the technology takes unique attributes from nature to enhance the Born VZ’s interior. Delivering a material that cuts weight, reduces plastic use, and lessens the overall environmental impact. It’s the first time a functional element in a CUPRA car incorporates natural fibres, building on the sustainable approach the Born VZ infuses into the brand.
In the rear of the vehicle thanks to improvements to the chassis setup, the CUPRA Born VZ can offer both five seat comfort and the vivacity of a sunroof in the same package.
Control is centred towards the driver with the re-engineered gear selector, positioned on the steering column behind the CUPRA wheel, to provide easier access, greater convenience, and better interaction.
The CUPRA Born VZ also incorporates regenerative paddle shifts on the steering wheel, allowing to choose between 3 different levels of energy recuperation.
When the accelerator is released the motor acts as a generator to feed energy back into the battery pushing energy back into the powertrain and reducing wear and tear on the brakes.
For greater control of the regenerative characteristics, drivers can use the paddle shifters to cycle through the three different levels while in ‘D’ mode, helping to match their driving style. Simply use the paddles to select how much deceleration you need.
