It’s only slightly better than the Volkswagen ID.4.
The Cupra Born, an MEB-based cousin of the Volkswagen ID.3, has been recently tested in the “moose test.” This particular car is a rear-wheel-drive version with a 62 kWh battery and is equipped with Bridgestone Turanza Eco Enliten 215/45 R20 95T tires.
According to the test, performed by km77.com, the car was able to successfully complete the test at a maximum initial speed of 75 km/h (47 mph).
- initial part: 75 km/h (47 mph)
- middle part: 67 km/h (42 mph)
- final part: 50 km/h (31 mph)
The result is slightly better than in the case of the Volkswagen ID.4 at 73 km/h (45 mph). Unfortunately, there is no test result for the ID.3.
Nonetheless, the Cupra Born is significantly behind the Tesla Model 3/Model Y, which are the top models on the list at 83 km/h (52 mph).
