CUPRA has increased the accessibility of its first fully electric model, CUPRA Born, by reducing prices by £2,350 across the range coupled with a suite of electric vehicle (EV) purchasing incentives.
As well as this, CUPRA will be simplifying the CUPRA Born by closing for new factory order the 58kWh 204PS across all trims, the 77kWh 230PS on the V2 trim, and both the V2 Edition and V3 Edition trims. This means that the CUPRA Born line-up will reduce for new factory order to V1 58kWh 230PS, V2 58kWh 230PS, V3 58kWh 230PS, and V3 77kWh 230PS, with the recently announced CUPRA Born VZ also opening for order soon.
And, due to the price reduction, the entry price for a factory order CUPRA Born will reduce to £35,085 for a V1 58kWh 230PS – which is less than the previous price for a V1 58kWh 204PS – and the entry price for the larger battery will reduce to £41,385 for a V3 77kWh 230PS – which is less than the previous entry price for a V2 77kWh 230PS.
The £2,350 price reduction will be available for both new factory orders and orders from stock, including the trims and batteries that are now closed for new factory orders. Pricing for CUPRA Born VZ to be announced shortly.
To make EVs even more accessible, the brand is also currently offering a suite of incentives including 0% APR for 36 months or £4,000 deposit contribution on 3.9% APR for 48 months (for orders placed before 2 April 2024) 1, plus a complimentary Ohme home charger and a £750 pre-paid Mastercard for every Retail purchase (for orders placed and handed over by 31 March 2024) 2.
Finally, those who place an order before 2 April 2024 will receive a complimentary CUPRA eCare plan, which covers the first two years of servicing at an authorised CUPRA Retailer.

(probably not IMHO).
. Give it another six years. For local use I can see the merit of these. I keep an eye on the electrics round here. The Tesla is a second car but doesn't go out much, never see it on home charging, must be a local Tesla charging station tucked up somewhere. Belongs to an ex traffic police head who obviously is interested in cars. The sister VW to the Born is used on shopping runs, belongs to a farmer, home charging. Then the electric VW van for the school run, another farmer, home charging. Three households got a bob or two. Two as second cars.
. Feels like Seat dealers will have to get other franchises if the Cupra models can't support the business. We'll see.
