Trouble is the EV platform is VW and despite the stated charging speed figures, it doesn’t deliver those! When you complain they say it’s only a range (albeit it never gets in to the range!). My experience was DC charging 20-80% is more like 50-55 minutes not 35. AC charging about 80% of the time was only half charging due to some battery safe mode that apparently randomly cuts the charge so on a cheap overnight 6hr charge I was getting 20kw not 40! Big difference. I had mine for 4 months, it then spent 6 weeks in garage and I got a BM i4 instead which is brilliant and does what it says!

Are you going to comment the same thing on every Cupra Born video or social media post? Stop wasting your life and get over it man

[@gesp5151]

@@BobbytronDj I regard it as a social duty given the VW corporate brand issues.

I'm 6"3, would I struggle for room in this car? I currently drive a 2021 Audi A3 and find my legs are always trapped between the steering wheel and centre console / drivers door.

[@paulfrench7238]

I find there’s more room in the Born than my old E-class Mercedes. There’s loads of headroom and plenty of legroom too. I’m 6’2 and have loads of space so I think you’d be fine at 6’3.
