My FIRST electric car experience thanks to Fish Brothers Cupra in Swindon and what a cool car to start with! A nearly standard Cupra Born 150kW V1 58kWh on sale at Fish Brothers Swindon for just under £25,000!
Comment down below what you think of the car and if you'd like to see more electric car content! Thank you for your support!

Looks stunning in white.

It is very smart for sure, it does remind me of a Polestar

A new 322bhp version of the Cupra Born is to be launched later this year. Now that might get you feeling a little woozy 😂

Haha, 5 minutes in that and I won’t know which was is up.. definitely will try and make a video with one

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it, means a lot; do you currently own an EV yourself?

@fatjonraci9453 Ай бұрын

Thank you for the review! I’m probably getting this one in the near future so your video came in handy to watch. If I’m not mistaken, the Cupra connect app can show you charging stops when planning a road trip?

Thank you for watching! Congratulations, I really did enjoy it so I’m glad you did too! I believe you can yes, although I do prefer zapmaps as a charging app

Fully agree, would you go for white or a darker colour?

You just answered many of my questions. Try the MG4 X power if u want 429 bhp, however That is £36k. The base model Born, is a good lease option at the minute.

@GenuinelyLAS 4 ай бұрын

I appreciate you watching Nigel, I’m definitely keen to give the MG4 X a try, have you driven one before?

@MrNigelbell 4 ай бұрын

Yes, liked it. Recently was on personal lease deals for under £9000 2yr 8k, now over £12.500 So not worth it now "MG Looses out".

@BIGBOZ1980 3 ай бұрын

Just ordered on. 3yr 10k for £13k, bargain for what it is. And that's with the white paint which is a cost option, didn't like the grey one

Had mine cupra born V3 for 2 years now , had a few problems but overall it's not a bad car

@GenuinelyLAS 5 ай бұрын

Nice one, was it your first experience going electric as well?

@jarredsmith9306 5 ай бұрын

What issues if you don't mind me asking? I've got a V2 on order and it's going to be my first electric.

@peterarmstrong3853 5 ай бұрын

I covered 25k in mine. Screen froze constantly, rear brakes questionable and tyres sketchy. But apart from that a good car, looks great and range is excellent. Drove winter through to summer.

@GenuinelyLAS 5 ай бұрын

Oh interesting, how did you find it in winter compared to summer? Was the range impacted much during the different seasons? Have you also stuck with an EV after the born?

@peterarmstrong3853 5 ай бұрын

@@GenuinelyLAS range went down to 3.2 miles/kWh from 4. I now own a BYD dolphin and I highly recommend it! Also I've had an MG4 and Kia Niro.

@GenuinelyLAS 5 ай бұрын

Okay so not a major drop if you are just town driving. Very nice that’s a good range of different EVs as well, what made you go for the BYD? I think I’ll need to give it a go!

@peterarmstrong3853 5 ай бұрын

@@GenuinelyLAS the brand in general tbh and the way the dolphin looks and drives. Also they way underestimated the performance to 60 which I've managed 6.2.(cold roads and 5deg outside)also mg had dreadful aftercare and all my local dealers were not very helpful after a breakdown after 500 miles... (3 months to fix). I always have people talking to me about my car which is nice. Go for a test drive!!

@GenuinelyLAS 5 ай бұрын

The dolphin does sound like a winner, I'll definitely try and give it a go! Interesting from MG as well, considering they are building back up nicely you'd expect something like aftercare to be a priority!

Love the video, I am already pretty sold and looking to buy an early V1 model to get in at the lowest possible price sometime next month. There are no Borns local to me so I test drove a fully specced facelift ID3 today so I’ve unfortunately now seen the best the platform can offer lol Do you know if any/early V1s get blind spot monitoring with the yellow lights on the wing mirrors? Do you also know what kind of parking cameras they get (ID3 had front back AND sides) and also automated parking assist? I have heard that due to microchip shortages there is some disparity in features that shipped with early cars so I’m a bit worried about that too!

@GenuinelyLAS 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I've tried to look into some of this! Firstly as you can imagine a pre-facelift V1 is fairly far from a fully specced ID3, but I definitely see your point, that ID3 tech wise is best case. I'm not 100% sure on the blind spot monitoring, I don't think that is on the V1 and it only had a rear parking camera, although there is an option for the 360 degree camera and parking assist in a tech pack, although that may only be for facelift cars. It may be worth checking that with Fish Brothers Cupra, I hope this has helped a bit!

Thx for the review, it was quite good, you went into decent detail. one thing and it does not take points away from the quality of the video, but check your posture, your sitting quite hunched, maybe straighten the seat a bit.
