2024 Cupra Born Test Drive & Review - My EV Journey Part 1

These cars are on my shortlist too, as well as the Smart #3, and the Renault 5.

Both great options. Especially the R5, but having see one and looked through the back window (it was locked up), it goes into the same pile as the Mini and Peugeot. A bit too small for me.

The upgraded Entertainment System makes all the difference. Shame they weren´t able to provide you a car with it. BOth, ID3 and Bord should be available with the newer OS 5.0 as well. I liked that you can easily switch between two carplay-enabled devices, I have an iPhone as main device enabeled and a T-Box also, which I´m switching to when needed

[@CarPlayLife]

Yes the OS5.0 is way better and the MY25 upgrades also are a must have too. I’ll be returning to the Born in a future update. Interested to know how you get to switch CarPlay connections? I couldn’t work out how when charging in a MY25 Born the other week. Any info on that would be appreciated. Thanks.

@@CarPlayLife Hey Anthony. I have an iPhone connected wirelessly and an AIBox via cable. When CarPlay is active from the iPhone I can press the CarPlay button which brings me back to my cars (Skoda Enyaq) carplay screen where I can switch easily between devices. When choosing (the already active) AI Box it pretty much switches instantly. In case you´re interested in a short video let me know
