El-Born’s first popular electric vehicle (EV) from the Volkswagen Group’s Spanish sub-Lopass, Cupra, when it will be sold in Europe next year.
Announced today, the Cupra el-Born is claiming a 310-mile (500km) range from its 77kWh lithium-ion battery pack and joins a surging wave of 2020-21 EVs from the Volkswagen Group.
Born from the Cupra functionality branch of the Seat brand, El-Born strangely claimed a time of 0-30 mph (50 km/h) of 2. nine seconds, which reclassified the ads suspiciously as if they were just looking for the discussion. a metric that gave them 3.0 seconds.
This may be the first functionality (2. nine seconds to 30 mph is just a “functionality”) EV that will be built from the Volkswagen Group’s Ev Modular Electric Matrix (MEB) platype, which can also be shared through Ford, Audi, Skoda and the Volkswagen brand.
The el-Born (named after the historic center of Barcelona) can also be built on the similar production line in Zwickau, Germany, as the next Volkswagen ID.3, because it will be announced in September.
No acceleration claims of 0 to 62 mph were published, the original Concept of Seat el-Born promised a time of 0 to 62 mph of 7.five seconds with a 201 hp electric motor.
El Born was first and foremost born as a Seat concept vehicle with a 62 kWh battery and a 260-mile variety, and claimed a time of 0 to 62 mph of 7.five seconds, whose preference is to be a reference for The Edition dressed in Cupra’s badge.
The vehicle that originated is the best friend that will be advertised as a Seat brand vehicle, but which was replaced far beyond due to the hot badge, created through the former head of Seat and now head of the Renault group, Luca de Meo.
“We are launching el-Born as the first all-electric genre under the Cupra brand,” said Wayne Griffiths, CUPra’s CEO.
“I think it’s the right decision; El-Born has Cupra cuppass genes … I think great news for Apple is the perfect news for Seat.”
The only electric motor of the hatch is constant on the rear axle, Cupra was shy about publishing output figures.
Cupra also claims that a 30-minute hit with a fast charger will give you a variety of 160 miles.
