The Cupra Born is the flagship electric crossover on the MEB platform. On PHEV Cupra models, the ICE side is tuned just like a pure combustion engine. Cupra PHEV variants combine a TSI engine with an electric motor.

Protection on modern Cupra models is tight, so Bench is required. The Cupra community benefits from a large library of ready-made Stage files drawn from the shared VAG pool.

Cupra specialises in sporty turbocharged engines.
