CUPRA Releases the new CUPRA Born VZ edition!


CUPRA takes this impulse further with the CUPRA Born VZ – the latest addition to the vehicle line-up from CUPRA – a new and more powerful version to inspire the world from Barcelona. The CUPRA Born is the first all-electric model from the brand and the perfect match between electrification and performance.

VZ stands for Veloz in Spanish, meaning fast, a seamless way to describe the brand’s latest vehicle. The CUPRA Born VZ delivers 240kW of power and 545Nm of torque, applied to the road through its improved suspension setting geometry, sports-tuned steering, and improved braking feel. These aspects combine to give it the ultimate performance in the CUPRA Born line-up and making it one of the most dynamic cars in its segment.


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*.

  • CUPRA Born VZ boosts performance, delivering 240kW/545Nm, reaching 100km/h in just 5.7 seconds and increasing Vmax to 200km/h
  • Sportier interior with new CUP Bucket seats as standard, as well as regenerative paddle shifts on the steering wheel
  • Dynamic behaviour of the car is enhanced thanks to improved braking feeling, more robust suspension, and more responsive steering and pedal behaviour
  • The exterior design is enriched with two new 20” alloy wheels, including one forged with performance tyres, the standout VZ logo on the rear as well as new colours
