Cupra is planning an entry-level electric model that will reportedly launch in 2025. It is understood that the vehicle will sit below the el-Born electric compact hatchback, meaning it will be similar in size to the VW Polo. According to Cupra chief executive Wayne Griffiths, the vehicle is “more than a car for us; it’s the future of the car industry in Spain.”
Cupra has been hard at work on the design
of the entry-level EV and could preview it as a concept this year. Underpinning
the car will, according to Autocar, be the ‘MEB-Lite’ platform being developed
by Volkswagen for its smallest ID models. The Cupra’s battery pack probably
won’t be any bigger than 45 kWh.
The automaker is also engaging in
discussions with the Spanish government about the roll-out of EV charging
infrastructure across the country.
