For the third year in a row, the CUPRA Born has earned the title of Best Small Electric Car to Drive at the What Car? Car of the Year Awards. The judges were once again captivated by its dynamic driving performance and remarkable range.
"The CUPRA Born has always been one of our most successful models, so to see it being celebrated for the third time at the What Car? Awards in 2025 is a proud moment. Our electrification journey was a big step, and we knew that the Born was the right model to spearhead our shift to electric. As the Born continues to be successful, we look forward to fully integrating the Tavascan into our electric range, as well as our hybrid models too."
- Marcus Gossen, Brand Director of SEAT & CUPRA UK
