Cupra Born Gets 2026 Facelift With New Look, Bigger Screens and One‑Pedal Drive

Pricing remains undisclosed, with key specs for the smaller battery option also withheld.

Leichte optische Retuschen zeigen sich unter anderem an den äußeren Lufteinlässen der VZ-Frontschürze.
Der Innenraum wartet unter anderem mit neuen Türverkleidungen auf.
Das Digital-Cockpit wächst mit 10,25 Zoll fast auf die doppelte Größe an.
Auch der Heckdiffusor wirkt nun dynamischer – ihre 240 kW (326 PS) behält das Topmodell jedoch.

Overview

  • Production of the refreshed Born is slated for Q2 2026 with dealer arrivals in summer 2026, and Cupra has not released final prices.
  • The lineup stays rear‑drive with three trims: a revised base at 140 kW with a 58 kWh net battery and a provisional 450 km range, plus two 79 kWh versions at 170 kW and 240 kW targeting about 600 km.
  • New usability features include One‑Pedal‑Driving, Launch Control on the 79 kWh variants, and Vehicle‑to‑Load capability, alongside a larger 10.25‑inch driver display and a return to physical steering‑wheel controls.
  • The exterior adopts Cupra’s latest design cues with a ‘shark nose,’ redesigned bumpers, triangular Matrix‑LED headlights, an illuminated rear logo, and a 12 mm increase in length to 4.34 meters.
  • Electrive and other outlets note missing charging and battery details for the 58 kWh model and report an unmentioned 50 kWh/125 kW variant seen in early materials, interpreting this as possible MEB+ LFP adoption yet to be detailed.
