Battery capacity, range and charging for the Cupra Born depend on the model year and variant. This summary is for one version. It does not blend the model into a single figure.

2025 Born V1 EV (V1)

Battery capacity

63 kWh

Listed type: Lithium-ion. This is not a measured usable capacity.

Official WLTP range

264 miles

Official combined test figure for this version.

Charging cost estimate

Estimated home-charging cost for one Cupra Born version. The full charge uses that version’s listed battery capacity, which is not a measured usable capacity. Charging loss is an assumption you can change, not a test result for this car. The tariff and annual mileage are examples until you replace them.

Estimated full charge

£16.80

Estimated electricity cost per mile

6.38p

Estimated annual charging cost

£510.40

Cost per mile uses this version’s listed Wh per mile figure. A full charge is estimated at 70 kWh from the meter after the assumed loss. That works out at 4.18 miles per kWh before charging loss.

Charging time

A listed charging time is shown only when this version has a 10–80% time at the exact supply power you enter. Otherwise the minutes are a VehicleScore estimate from the battery capacity, that power and the charging loss. The rapid power box starts empty unless a rapid-charge limit is listed for the car. A charger’s advertised power is not filled in for you. A calculated rapid-charge time assumes constant power. It is not a real-world charging curve, and the number you type is the supply power, not confirmation of the car’s limit.

Home, 10–80%

267 min listed

Listed charging time: 267 minutes from 10–80% on a 11 kW supply. The charging-loss box does not change a listed time.

Rapid, 10–80%

25 min listed

Listed charging time: 25 minutes from 10–80% on a 120 kW supply. The charging-loss box does not change a listed time, and this supply power is not the car’s rapid-charge limit.

Full vehicle specifications for every version

Home charging

The onboard figure is the Type 1 or Type 2 charger listed for that version. Listed charging times are 10–80% at the supply power named beside them. A 22 kW supply does not mean the car charges at 22 kW.

Rapid charging

A rapid-charge limit is shown only where the vehicle specification includes one and it agrees with the charging-port record. Listed charging times stay next to the supply power they were timed at. That supply power is not the car’s maximum.

Winter range

These specifications do not include a winter or cold-weather range for the Cupra Born, and this guide does not estimate one. Cold weather shortens an electric car’s range. Compare the official WLTP figure and the supplier’s estimated real-world range for the same version.

A single winter percentage would mix versions that already have different batteries and ranges.

Buying a used Cupra Born

The figures above describe catalogue versions. They do not describe the battery in one used car.

  • Match the advert to the model year and variant before you compare battery capacity or range.
  • Read battery capacity as the listed catalogue figure. Usable capacity is not included.
  • Check the charge port and onboard home-charger rating for that version, especially on older cars with a Type 1 socket.
  • Treat the warranty as the new-car catalogue cover. Age and mileage decide what is left.
  • Enter the registration for history and any battery health records available for that vehicle. This page cannot show them.

Data sources

Battery capacity, official WLTP range, estimated real-world range, listed charging times, energy use and warranty figures are vehicle specifications supplied by UK Vehicle Data. Estimated real-world range is that supplier’s estimate, not a measurement by VehicleScore. Charging costs and any minute marked as calculated are VehicleScore estimates from the figures you can see. Usable battery capacity and winter range are not in this specification set, so they are not shown. Listed charging times that cannot be a 10–80% charge of a passenger car are left out.

Each row is one catalogue version. Figures are not averaged across model years or variants.

Questions about the Cupra Born

What battery capacity does the Cupra Born have?

Battery capacity differs by version: 58 kWh, 62 kWh, 63 kWh, 82 kWh, 84 kWh. Each figure belongs to the model year and variant in the table. They are not averaged, and none of them is a measured usable capacity.

What is the official WLTP range of the Cupra Born?

Official WLTP combined range differs by version: 260 miles, 260.4 miles, 264 miles, 266 miles, 341 miles, 361 miles, 366 miles. The range table shows which model year and variant each figure belongs to.

What is the estimated real-world range of the Cupra Born?

The supplier’s estimated real-world range is 266 miles on the versions that include it. This is not a VehicleScore road test, and it is separate from the official WLTP figure.

How efficient is the Cupra Born?

Energy use differs by version: 220 Wh/mile, 230 Wh/mile, 233 Wh/mile, 234 Wh/mile, 237 Wh/mile, 238 Wh/mile, 239 Wh/mile, 240 Wh/mile, 242 Wh/mile. Miles per kWh on the page is calculated from that version’s Wh per mile figure.

What home charger does the Cupra Born accept?

The onboard home charger is listed at 11 kW on the versions that have a Type 1 or Type 2 rating. Listed charging times are 10–80% at the supply power named beside them.

How fast can the Cupra Born rapid charge?

A rapid-charge limit is listed only where the vehicle specification includes one and it does not disagree with the charging-port record. The listed limits are 120 kW, 165 kW, 175 kW, 185 kW. Other rapid times stay labelled with the supply power they were timed at.

What battery warranty does the Cupra Born have?

The listed battery warranty is 8 years / 100,000 miles on the versions that include it. Where both a time limit and a mileage limit are stored, the record does not say which one ends the cover. This is the new-car catalogue warranty, not the cover left on a used car.

What is the winter range of the Cupra Born?

These specifications do not include a winter or cold-weather range for the Cupra Born, and this page does not estimate one. The range table shows the official WLTP figure, any other official test cycle that is listed, and the supplier’s estimated real-world range where those fields are filled in.

What should I check before buying a used Cupra Born?

Match the advert to the model year and variant before you compare battery capacity, range or charging. These pages describe catalogue versions. They do not show one car’s battery health or the warranty cover it has left. Enter the registration to check history and any battery health records available for that vehicle.
