SEAT may call the 2019 el-Born a concept, but it really isn’t one. This is essentially what SEAT’s first all-electric city car will look like, both inside and out. It is also closely related to the upcoming production VW ID hatchback, a model previewed by a considerably more far-fetched concept.
The El-Born’s design will pack a bit more punch than the VW, and as with every other SEAT model in comparison to its corresponding VW model, it will exude a sportier, more fun-loving character. The manufacturer says it “fuses the core aspects driving change in the automotive industry: electrification, autonomous driving, shared-mobility, and connectivity,” and that’s actually a pretty good way to describe what it’s meant to do.
In keeping with its aggressive design, the el-Born will offer nearly hot-hatch levels of acceleration, but at the same time, it promises to do well in the main area of concern when it comes to battery-powered electric vehicles: battery pack capacity and the range it can provide. But according to SEAT, el-Born will be right up there with the best of them, even with its range calculated using the new and more accurate WLTP guidelines. It might even offer two sizes of battery pack, just like its VW stablemate.
