Say hello to Seat"s first proper EV. Named for a neighborhood in Barcelona, the el-Born Concept previews an electric family hatchback that"s set to go on sale in 2020. Based on the same VW Group MEB" electric car platform as the Volkswagen I.D, which will go on sale later this year, the el-Born has a 62kWh battery that can be charged from 0 to 80 per cent in just 47 minutes using a 100kW DC charging station. It gives as much as 260-miles of range, while the 201bhp motor allows for 0-62mph in around 7.5 seconds. Slower, less-rangey versions might also be in the pipeline. Aerodynamics are central to el-Born"s design, which looks similar to what we"ve seen of the VW I.D. Not like a conventional family hatch, by any means, with the A-pillar pushed as far forwards as it"ll go to maximise interior space.
