CUPRA BORN 77 e-BOOST

Performance

With overboost, the CUPRA BORN 77 e-BOOST has a maximum power of 170 kW (231 hp / 228 bhp). Without overboost, it delivers 150 kW (204 hp / 201 bhp). Maximum torque is 310 Nm (229 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 82.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 77.0 kWh, providing a 5.0 kWh buffer (6.1%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 350 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 548 to 492 km (341-306 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.

The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 14.1 kWh/100 km for the base model and 15.7 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 120 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 97 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 37 minutes with an average charging speed of 88 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 6% to 53%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 88 kW, with each charging session taking about 25 minutes and 42 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 58 minutes, needing four charging stops from 6% to 53%, totaling 99 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 7 hours and 0 minutes with a standard home setup.
