Join me on an exciting journey into Electric Vehicle ownership. In this multi-part series, I will be documenting my new car journey, from my 2014 Golf GTI to my first electric vehicle. In this first part, I explain my journey and then take you on my first test drive of the 2024 Cupra Born v2 edition EV. This is the 58kWh model with around 225 miles of real range, and a 0-62mph in 6.7 seconds.
In what is my first car review (so bear with me in terms of knowledge and presentation) I test drive the Cupra Born and give you my first-hand impressions of it after a small accompanied test drive, a look over the interior, exterior, infotainment system and more!
If you would like to see me test any other EVs, let me know in the comments, or if you are a UK press for a vehicle brand and you would like to invite me to test drive your latest models, you can also get in touch via the contact form on my website 👉🏻 carplaylife.com/about-us
You can read my full EV journey, which goes into a lot more detail about my choices, financing and the future of EVs, soon here 👉🏻 carplaylife.com/feature/my-electric-vehicle-journey-part-1
