The electric car got its name in honor of a prestigious district in the center of Barcelona. The Seat el-Born is built on the modular MEB platform, which was specially developed for future electric cars of the Volkswagen Group. The design of the Spanish electric car largely repeats the Volkswagen I.D. model.
The electric car is equipped with 20-inch wheels, a spoiler and a diffuser. The interior features a virtual instrument panel and a 10-inch multimedia system screen.
"The el-Born concept embodies technologies and design philosophy that can help us solve the challenges we will face in the future," said Seat president Luca de Meo.
The rear-wheel-drive Seat el-Born is equipped with an electric motor producing 204 hp and a battery with a capacity of 62 kWh. The range is 420 kilometers. The model can accelerate to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds. The battery can be charged to 80% in 47 minutes.
Serial production of the Seat el-Born electric car will be launched in 2020 at the German plant in Zwickau.
