Entry level versions of the CUPRA Born feature 58 kWh battery that offers power of 230 PS and a range of up to 262 miles between charges. A larger 77kWh battery is also up for grabs, which increases the range between charges to 342 miles.

There’s a liberal use of recycled materials throughout the cabin, adding to the Born’s eco credentials, with the seats made from upcycled marine litter.
The CUPRA Born is also a car that’s loaded with tech, with the latest models featuring safety tech such as Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Pre-Crash Assist all fitted as standard.
And remember that because the CUPRA Born produces zero CO2 emissions at the tailpipe, business lease customers enjoy a low Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax burden.

About the CUPRA Born
When the Born first went on sale in 2022 it represented the first-ever electric vehicle from Spanish manufacturer CUPRA - the performance off-shoot of SEAT.
And the Born quickly won admirers while picking up plenty of industry awards, including the ‘Small Electric Car of the Year' prize at the prestigious What Car? Awards.
It’s not hard to see the appeal.
The Born is a sibling of the Volkswagen ID.3, sharing the same electric platform, with both CUPRA and VW part of the same manufacturing group.
Yet the Born is more menacing, more streetwise, more powerful, and also has a better electric range than the ID.3.
With so much going for it, you might be surprised by just how affordable it is to lease with Select.
Why lease a CUPRA Born SUV?
The Born gets its name from the hip, trendy El Born district of Barcelona, Spain.

The Born has roughly the same dimensions as the ID.3, coming with a practical 385 litre boot and plenty of room in the rear for passengers.
Size-wise, the Cupra Born is actually similar in proportions to a Ford Focus or VW Golf, making it wholly practical for busy families.
And with power of up to 326 PS available with the performance 'VZ' model, there's a CUPRA Born lease to tempt all customers.

CUPRA Born Review
That trend is continuing with this new vehicle, the Born – there is no standard SEAT version. It is an all-electric compact family car designed to take on the likes of the Kia e-Niro and the Hyundai Ioniq 5. In line with the rest of the CUPRA brand, the Born’s trims are named with a ‘V’, so there’s V1, V2 and V3. While it isn’t the most aggressive vehicle CUPRA has in its range, it looks the part and gives off the impression of a hot hatch.

CUPRA Born FAQ
The CUPRA Born is, quite simply, one of the best electric vehicles on the market right now. It pulls off the very rare trick of being both affordable and practical as well as being sporty and quick.
The styling of the Born is spot-on if you like youthful vehicles with bags of personality. Those bronze accents set the tone for the entire car.
And with a range of up to 372 miles between charges, it’s also an EV that lots of other electric hatchbacks will be looking at with envy. No wonder it’s picking up so many awards.
The most affordable CUPRA Born models come in ‘V1’ trim and have a 58 kWh battery. That electric unit provides an extremely healthy range of up to 262 miles as well as potent power of 230 PS. Not bad at all for an ‘entry level’ electric car.

When the CUPRA Born was tested by the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) in 2022 it achieved a maximum five star score.
The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system was praised, with assessors also adding: “If the car is drifting out of lane, a camera-based system gently corrects the vehicle’s path. The system also intervenes in some more critical situations, to avoid road
departure for example.”
Standard equipment on base V1 models includes emergency steering support with turn assist, forward collision warning with automatic braking and lane assist.
All in all, the CUPRA Born is an exceptionally safe car to lease.
There are four main trim levels - V1, V2, V3 and VZ. Power ranges between 230 PS and 326 PS, and there's a maximum range between charges of 372 miles.
Whichever trim level you choose, the exterior styling of the CUPRA Born will ensure you always stand out from the crowd.
I had a few problems with delivery dates. But Paolo worked hard to find a solution and came up with a good outcome.
Hakan provides great service in select car leasing. My Tesla was a bit late due to logistic issues, but Hakan managed to find me a better deal, so I got the long-range version for the same price. Also, he was very responsive and patient with all of my weird questions. Thanks & Well done.
I have used Select car leasing twice now, communication is excellent, very helpful. I can highly recommend Rubin Ball. Who offers support from beginning to end to after sales.
