If you're searching for a new electric car in the North East, CUPRA's growing EV range offers more choice than ever before.
The award-winning CUPRA Born and the exciting all-new CUPRA Raval both showcase CUPRA's bold design, innovative technology and engaging driving experience. While both vehicles deliver the unmistakable character that has helped make CUPRA one of the UK's fastest-growing car brands, they're designed to suit different lifestyles and driving needs.
At Pulman Group, proud CUPRA/SEAT Retailer of the Year, we're helping drivers across Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham and the wider North East discover the benefits of electric driving and find the perfect CUPRA for their lifestyle. So, if you're considering making the switch to an EV, which CUPRA is the right choice for you?
Both the CUPRA Born and CUPRA Raval offer everything drivers expect from a modern electric vehicle – striking styling, advanced technology and zero-emission driving.
However, they have been designed with different priorities in mind.
The CUPRA Born is the larger, more established model, offering greater versatility, longer-range capability and a spacious interior. It's ideal for drivers who regularly travel beyond the city and want an EV that can comfortably handle longer journeys across the North East and beyond.
The CUPRA Raval has been developed as a compact electric hatchback focused on urban mobility. Its smaller dimensions make it perfect for navigating busy roads, city centres and tight parking spaces while still delivering the sporty driving experience CUPRA is known for.
Perhaps most importantly, the Raval also offers a significantly lower entry price point, making electric driving more accessible than ever before.
Price is often one of the biggest factors when choosing an electric vehicle.
The CUPRA Born range currently starts from approximately £35,995 OTR, offering premium electric performance, long-range capability and advanced technology.
The all-new CUPRA Raval is expected to start from approximately £23,785 OTR, making it one of the most accessible electric vehicles in the CUPRA range.
For drivers looking to enter the world of electric motoring at a lower price point, the Raval presents a compelling alternative.
As CUPRA's first fully electric vehicle, the Born has quickly become one of the most popular electric hatchbacks available in the UK.
Offering up to 366 miles of WLTP range, the Born is a fantastic option for drivers who regularly travel between Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham and destinations further afield.
The Born also supports rapid charging, allowing drivers to charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes using a compatible DC charger.
Performance remains a major highlight. Selected versions of the Born can accelerate from 0-62 mph in just 5.6 seconds, delivering the engaging and responsive driving dynamics that define the CUPRA brand.
Practicality is another strength, with a 385-litre boot capacity providing plenty of room for family life, shopping, luggage and everyday essentials.
The all-new CUPRA Raval represents the next chapter in CUPRA's electric future.
Expected to offer up to 273 miles of WLTP range, the Raval is perfectly suited to daily commuting, city driving and weekend adventures.
Rapid charging technology is expected to allow charging from 10% to 80% in around 25 minutes, helping drivers spend less time waiting and more time on the road.
Despite its compact footprint, the Raval is expected to offer an impressive 440-litre boot capacity, providing practicality that rivals larger hatchbacks.
Performance remains true to CUPRA's DNA, with expected acceleration from 0-62 mph in approximately 6.9 seconds.
For drivers looking for a stylish, affordable and practical electric hatchback, the Raval is set to become one of the most exciting new EVs on the market.
Families will appreciate the Born's larger dimensions, spacious cabin, practical boot and impressive driving range. Whether you're tackling the school run, family holidays or weekend activities, the Born offers the versatility many households need.
If you regularly travel throughout the North East or across the UK for work, the Born's longer range and rapid charging capability make it the ideal companion for business and motorway driving.
With selected models reaching 0-62 mph in just 5.6 seconds, the Born delivers the strongest performance credentials of the two vehicles while maintaining excellent practicality.
The Raval's lower entry price and approachable size make it a fantastic choice for drivers making the switch to electric for the first time.
If your driving is focused around Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham or other urban environments, the compact dimensions of the Raval make parking and manoeuvring effortless.
Combining distinctive styling, modern technology and affordability, the Raval is perfectly positioned for drivers looking for a stylish and practical electric vehicle.
Electric vehicles continue to grow in popularity across Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham and the wider North East.
Charging infrastructure continues to expand throughout the region, making EV ownership easier and more convenient than ever before. Combined with lower running costs, reduced maintenance requirements and the convenience of home charging, it's easy to see why more drivers are making the switch.
