Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · K1 (2021-)

Cupra Born

Compact EV on the MEB platform, technically related to the Volkswagen ID.3 but tuned more sportily. The 58 kWh version reaches around 420 km WLTP. Indicative starting price; check the official configurator for the current figure per version.

Cupra's first own electric SUV coupe, on the VW Group MEB platform with production in Anhui, China. The Endurance variant with 77 kWh net manages around 568 km WLTP and 210 kW power (manufacturer figure, indicative). The top VZ uses dual-motor 4x4, 250 kW and 522 km WLTP. DC charging up to 135 kW. Boot 540 litres, braked towing 1,000 kg. A design-led alternative next to the Skoda Enyaq Coupe and VW ID.5 on the shared platform.
