CUPRA Launches Electric Born Hatchback And Tavascan SUV Coupe In Singapore

CUPRA has made its presence felt in Singapore with a grand launch at Design Orchard, following the opening of CUPRA Centre Singapore earlier this month. The event featured performances, presentations by CUPRA executives and the unveiling of CUPRA Born and Tavascan EVs.

Tell me more about the CUPRA Born hatchback

Born is the brand’s first all-electric model, and Singapore will receive the CUPRA Born e-Boost. It's built on VW Group’s MEB platform, delivering up to 170kW (231PS) with a 59kWh battery and a WLTP range of up to 428km. Fast charging enables 100km of range in 7 minutes.

Designed for an engaging drive, it features progressive steering, larger brakes and 20-inch alloy wheels. The interior offers bucket seats, a 12.9-inch infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a 7-speaker sound system.

There’s a more powerful Born VZ, too

Born VZ is the most powerful variant. "VZ," short for Veloz (Spanish for "fast"), reflects its dynamic character.

It delivers 240kW (326PS) and 545Nm to the rear wheels, with a WLTP range of up to 599km.
