Introducing the Cupra Born VZ: A New Age Hot Hatch with Old-School Tricks

When it comes to new car presentations, we’re used to hearing from marketing experts armed with graphs and charts. However, the unveiling of the Cupra Born VZ was a different story. Presented by ex-World Touring Car Championship driver turned performance car development engineer Jordi Gene, this presentation was all about the nitty-gritty details that enthusiasts crave.

The Cupra Born VZ is the hot hatch version of the standard Born hatchback, which has already earned a reputation as the electric car with the best handling appeal. In fact, it recently outperformed its competitors in our best sub-£40,000 electric car test. What sets the Born VZ apart from other electric hot hatches is its unique positioning. While some models focus on stiff, raucous performance, and others on hi-tech adjustability, the Born VZ strikes a balance between the two.

Unlike its competitors, the Cupra Born VZ doesn’t rely on gimmicky electric technology to make a statement. Instead, its creators set out to design a hot hatch that just happens to be electric. This means no fake sounds or excessive electrical interference – just pure driving pleasure.

With its blend of old-school driving dynamics and cutting-edge electric powertrain technology, the Cupra Born VZ is a hot hatch that demands to be taken seriously. Whether you’re a performance enthusiast or simply looking for a fun and efficient daily driver, this new-age hot hatch has something for everyone.
