The Cupra Born actually looks really good.

 :cool:  I think this is the first EV I’d actually consider using my company car allowance on if I was in receipt of such a thing.

I quite like it too. The non Cupra version - the Seat el-Born (picture below) doesn’t look quite as good, but IMO it looks better than the ID.3;


2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;
2016 Polo GTI; Blue Silk
2011 mk6 Golf GTD; Carbon Grey
2007 mk5 Golf GT (2.0 170bhp TDI version); Deep Black Pearl
2002  mk4 Golf GTI (the 150 bhp diesel version); Deep Black Pearl

That Cupra Born looks sooooooo much nicer and sportier than the ID3. If I was currently in the market for a golf size EV, just on looks alone, that would have to be on my shortlist.

It’d be on mine too.

It’ll be interesting to see what an ID.3 R would look like compared to the standard ID.3. I’m assuming there will be an R version one at some point.
