#3 Captivating copper accents (inside and out)
Speaking of warm and welcoming, CUPRA has carved its own path in the electric vehicle market by crafting unique and stylish cars that truly stand out from the crowd. Nothing embodies this more than the distinctive copper detailing emblazoned on all of its cars, both inside and out.
On the decision to use the copper colour, CUPRA design guru Alejandro Mesonero said: “We use materials that are nice to touch, like the human touch. That’s how we came up with using a copper colour – a very warm, real colour. We want to convert this feeling of warmth that the CUPRA brand has. It’s not cold like aluminium. It’s warm: it’s closer to the people; more human.”

Thanks to its perfect balance of power and poise, the CUPRA Born is one of the best electric cars to drive on sale today. As Autocar’s editor Mark Tisshaw put it, there’s a “just rightness” to the way it gets down the road.
Indeed, with near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution, quick precise steering and a playful sports-car-like rear-wheel drive set up, the CUPRA Born’s smile-to-mile ratio is off the scale. And, as you’d expect from a sporty electric hatchback, it’s pretty handy in a straight line too. That’s where e-Boost comes in.
