2027 Cupra Born facelift unveiled with physical buttons, more aggressive design

  • The facelifted Born abandons spoke capacitive pads for physical buttons and roller switches on the steering wheel to reduce accidental presses and improve usability.
  • Answering customer feedback, Cupra reworked the Born's controls by addressing complaints about the original Born and Volkswagen ID.3, adding four separate window switches on the driver's door.
  • Inside, larger screens and illuminated sliders rework cabin controls with a 10.25-inch instrument display replacing the 5.3-inch previous screen, a 12.9-inch infotainment touchscreen, headlight control pod, and rear air vents.
  • Cupra's range includes three motor-battery configurations with rear-wheel drive and a one-pedal driving option, while the VZ's arrival in Australia remains unclear, despite promising and delaying it.
  • Styling and option choices aim to sharpen the Born's sporty image with a C-shaped headlight cluster, triangular taillight graphics, diffuser-style rear bumper, bucket seats, CUPBucket seats on the VZ, paint options including Grey, and 19- or 20-inch alloy wheels.
