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).
