Cupra has expanded the line-up for its Born electric hatchback with new ‘e-Boost’ higher-power derivatives.

The new e-Boost variants mean three combinations of power output and battery capacity are now available for the Cupra Born

The new variants mean three combinations of power output and battery capacity are now available and include a 230hp e-Boost version which features a 58kWh battery and is priced from £37,445 OTR.

The line-up also gets a 230hp e-Boost model with a 77kWh battery and starting at £40,215 OTR.

The 58kWh 230hp e-Boost derivative offers an estimated range of up to 261 miles (WLTP), and accelerates from 0 to 62mph in 6.6 seconds.

The top-of-the-range 77kWh 230PS e-Boost brings an estimated range of up to 340 miles, with a 0-62mph acceleration time of 7.0 seconds.

Both e-Boost versions take seven hours 30 minutes to charge from 0-100% using an 11kW AC wall charger and can also be charged at up to 135kW DC, going from 5-80% in 36 minutes.

The two e-Boost variants are available in V2 and V2 grades, and join the 58kWh 204hp standard model that opened for orders last year priced at £34,715. This model has an estimated range of 264 miles and accelerates from 0 to 62mph in 7.3 seconds. It can be charged from 0-100% in six hours 15 minutes using an 11kW AC wall charger, or from 5-80% using a 120kW DC rapid charger in 35 minutes.

Cupra has also announced finance options for the new Born, including a Solutions Personal Contract Plan (PCP) scheme offered in conjunction with Volkswagen Financial Services UK and priced from £399 for a 48-month plan.
