Is the Born the best looking new EV?
FULL Infotainment Guide: czcams.com/video/zFMYqp0jA9Y/video.html
Great review, answered all of my questions. Have just ordered one, shame about the long wait! Thanks!
Glad I could help! Thanks. The wait is the same for every new car which is a shame if you have ordered one and you are excited about it!
In a word YES!
Awesome review mate!
Thanks a ton!
great review, i ordered mine 2 weeks ago, here in spain the glass roof comes in a 4500 euros package (roof, beats, hud ect)
I would have loved the glass roof! Let me know how it is when you get it. Thanks!
Ordered my V2 in Vapour Grey best looking EV for the price enjoyed the review it was very informative
Thanks! I agree it is fantastic looking. Definately a head turned and a great interior.
Enjoy! It's definitely a looker
When is your delivery if you don't mind me asking?
But what about cold weather 264 miles won’t be the range are we looking at a 50% reduced range ? Charge every evening?
Also the prices are so high how can the lower class afford an EV
It is a good question about range in the cold - it is likely it will be similar to the ID.3. I would suggest a good habit with an EV is to charge it every night if you have access at home. That will keep it always topped up. Of course if we are talking longer journeys then maybe you need a car with higher range. You are right about pricing but the prices will come down as we move towards the banning of selling new ICE cars (2030 in the UK).
Thanks for that.
You're welcome
Really nice looking car the born 👌🏼
I think so too!
Where can I find what the different trims are? Noone ever compares them! Even the Cupra website only has tiny images in the "build your Cupra" tool so it's too small to see differences
I explain the different trims in the video; if you are talking about outside differences it is just the wheels that change as far as design goes and the copper accents.
@@TechInTheCar Ahhh thanks for confirming. Cupra confused me by having 6 different images you could click on their car builder for V1, 2, 3 and all e-boost too.
Ordered mine beginning of the week - expected delivery from dealer December 2022
Let me know what you think when you get it!
How do you release the boot for a passenger to put something in? Only seems to open when the driver seat is vacated?
I don’t have the car to check. I imagine there is a button on the infotainment system but if not you could use the keyfob to open the car.
I have driven the id3 it drives well but feels cheap. I have a Golf 8 the software faults on this have been carried over to the id3 and I would not trust the Born software enough to buy one
According to battery life channel, his id3 has lost 10% battery storage capacity and range in 2 years.
Remember range is affected by speed, at 70 mph ( where it matters ) the range is vastly less than that quoted.
It's nolt the speed it's the batteries dying.
Very nice 👍
It is! Thanks.
Nice review, shame about editing in an extract for another car during the video, not sure what happened there!
Thanks. Sometimes I have to use B-roll - which is footage from official press releases - if I can’t film something myself or I can get myself driving. It is a limitation of time when filming.
Did this have the DCC fitted? And if so, do you have an opinion on whether it is significantly better than the standard suspension?
I would say the standard suspension was comfortable and I didn’t have to think about where I was driving on the road. However, if you want to stiffen the car up and have more fun then I would suggest the DCC.
@@TechInTheCar at 16:31 you mentioned the car was softer when you put in in comfort mode? I am not confused, did it or did it not have DCC. Cause ride quality is very important. Let me know thanks!
You are correct; I was wrong before and have edited it. In the car, it did feel softer. The ride was good but I would always recommend testing it yourself if you can.
@@TechInTheCar thank you! I will test it if i can.
Just tested it and the ride was great. I was riding on 20 inch wheels and without dcc. Im surprised actually.
Sorry need to disagree about the capacitative buttons and poor touch screen system for ventilation controls, these are not safe.
They are utter shite, imagine wanting to change the temperature in the dark 😣
How much 😩
I think it’s good value but EVs are generally more expensive right now than petrol/diesel cars. With time prices will decrease.
A 35k car with no rear air vents, I'm not stupid enough to get conned by Seat.
Its literally just a reskinned ID3
It is more than a re-skin. Because it looks better, has a better interior and has some technology the ID.3 doesn’t. However the ID.3 is a fantastic car.
@@TechInTheCarworking for the VW group, no they are not.
Lacks any criticism. All positives... no negatives. Interior is well below Koreans and french standards. Software is awful. Not "nice and easy to use" at all. Fractionally better the id3 sw...but its still bad.
I disagree about the interior of the Cupra. I think that it is a lot better than the ID.3. I do however agree that the new Kia models have great interiors.
new cars come with 3.0 software which is great
My feelings exactly all negatives glossed over any thing that he likes he talks about extensively. Tiny glove box is poor money saving in conversion from left hand drive to right. Vw group don't care enough for right hand drivers to change the fuse box position! That said I do like this car. I do wish reviewers would stop quoting wltp range as if you will ever get near it!
