Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)

Battery Electric Vehicles are the most clean and efficient option available for modern motorists. Powered solely by a battery motor, they require charging at home or in public, but provide incredible range and zero CO2 emissions. With a UK ban on new, soley petrol/diesel powered vehicles planned by 2030, now is a great time to make the switch and discover the benefits.

Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV)

Combining a battery-powered motor with a traditional fuel engine, you can experience the best of both worlds with a plug-in hybrid. Featuring a larger battery than a mild hybrid, drivers can choose between all-electric, pure engine or a combination of the two. This ability to switch ensures drivers can enjoy peak efficiency depending on the driving situation.

Mild Hybrid (MHEV)

CUPRA MHEVs feature a traditional 1.5 litre petrol engine teamed with a 48 volt battery. The battery powered motor can assist or take over from the engine, providing a power boost or aiding fuel efficiency. The battery recovers energy when braking, so does not need to be plugged in.

e-HYBRID

Our e-HYBRID models run on 100% electric power, switching to petrol only when the battery needs recharging. This allows you to drive without range anxiety whilst enjoying exceptional efficiency.
