Cupra has rolled out nationwide drive-away pricing for the Born electric hatchback, resulting in savings of more than $14,900 across each state and territory.
From now until March 31, 2025, Cupra’s Obsesión sales event sees the MY24 Born discounted to as little as $47,090 drive-away Australia-wide – down significantly on its normal price of $59,990 before on-road costs.
Drive-away pricing typically varies between each Australian state and territory, however the limited-time deal means buyers could save up to $19,400 on the purchase of a new Born electric vehicle (EV).
Despite the discounted drive-away price of $47,090 advertised on the brand’s website, Cupra’s release also outlines a drive-away price of $49,990 with the $2900 optional Interior Pack included.

Cupra sold just 465 Borns in Australia last year, ranking 30th for EV sales locally.
The Born EV is available in only one variant in Australia. It’s powered by a rear-mounted electric motor producing 170kW of power and 310Nm of torque, which is fed by a 77kWh lithium-ion battery pack for a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.0 seconds.
Cupra lists a claimed WLTP range of 511km for the standard Born, though the addition of the $2600 Performance Pack – which includes 20-inch alloy wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres, adaptive dampers and a two-seat rear bench – cuts the claim to 475km.

As is standard, the Born is covered by Cupra’s five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, and owners can purchase one of two pre-paid service packs at $990 for three years and $1590 for five.
The Obsesión campaign also brings savings for the Formentor SUV, with sharp financing and drive-away pricing now available for select variants of Cupra’s most popular model in Australia.
