Used Cupra cars for sale or finance at 10.9% APR

Cupra’s first electric model was the Born hatchback. On top of its long range figures, it can recharge from 5-80% in around half an hour. That means, if you’re doing a long journey, you can plug in at a motorway service station and the car will have gained plenty of range before you’ve finished your coffee.

The Born has since been joined by the Tavascan coupe-SUV; a smaller electric hatchback called the Raval is coming soon.

Cupra’s four-wheel-drive system is called 4Drive. It’ll provide a little extra grip in wintry conditions rather than turning a Cupra into an all-terrain monster, and is available on selected versions of the Formentor and Ateca.

DSG is the VW Group name for automatic gearboxes. These are ‘dual-clutch’ gearboxes that shift gears quicker and more smoothly than some traditional automatics. You can flick it into manual mode and shift up and down using the steering wheel paddles if you’d like, which keen drivers might enjoy considering only entry-level Cupra Formentor and Leon models have a conventional manual gearbox.

Cupra’s trim levels are typically called things like V1, V2, VZ2 and VZ3. ‘V’ signifies lower-powered engines, while ‘VZ’ (from the Spanish word for fast, veloz) is reserved for the more powerful engine options. The higher the number, the better-equipped the car is.

Cupra Born e-Boost models come with an overboost function that provides 30hp more power in short bursts. e-Boost cars are slightly quicker off-the-line than the standard models, which helps the Born feel more like a hot hatchback than an equivalent VW ID.3. It’s an option on 58kWh cars and comes as standard on 77kWh ones.

Cupra Connect is a useful smartphone app that provides live features. You can see prices for car parks and petrol stations nearby, and send sat nav destinations from your phone to the car’s infotainment system. It also includes live traffic on the car’s sat nav, which can help you avoid tailbacks.

Cupra might be a relatively new brand but it’s backed up by the vast Volkswagen empire. Many of the parts used in Cupra cars have been used in other VW Group models. That does include the sometimes glitchy infotainment system, but software updates can often sort these bugs out.
