The Cupra Born VZ, revealed earlier this year, has finally arrived in UK showrooms. Building on the standard model, this performance-focused electric hatch delivers a significant power boost courtesy of its rear-mounted electric motor.
Generating 321 hp and 402 lb-ft of torque, the VZ outperforms its siblings by a substantial margin, propelling the car from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.6 seconds and onto a top speed of 124 mph.
To accommodate the increased performance, the VZ features a larger 79 kWh battery compared to the standard model’s 77 kWh unit, offering a claimed range of 372 miles.
The Cupra Born VZ raises the electric hatchback experience with a potent electric motor, refined chassis, and premium features. Its upgraded suspension, steering, and brakes deliver sharper handling, while the plush interior boasts premium touches like bucket seats, a Sennheiser sound system, and a spacious 12.9-inch touchscreen.
Exclusive to the VZ, the Dark Forest paint finish and distinctive badging enhance its sporty character. Advanced driver assistance systems and a generous equipment list complete this top-tier offering, positioned above the standard Born lineup at a starting price of £44,625 in the UK.
