The Evolution of Electric Cars: How the Copera Born Stands Out from the Rest

If you were in the market for an electric car just 10 years ago, your options were limited. However, fast forward to today, and there are now dozens of models available. With so many options out there, it can be difficult to determine which one is best. Recently, Autocar has named the Copera Born as its top choice for electric cars in 2024, and we're here to learn more about what makes this car stand out.

What Makes the Copera Born a Cut Above the Rest?

According to Mark Tisha, editor of Autocar, the Copera Born is not just an electric car, but an experience that can tug on your heartstrings. It's a car you want to own, drive, and talk about. The Copera Born has really nice steering feel, excellent body control, and a solid, involving driving experience. One of the key factors that sets it apart from other cars is its ability to be enjoyed without feeling too powerful or heavy. This makes it an ideal choice for those who want to have fun with their car, but also value practicality.

Two Significant Tests: Pure Handling and Sub 40,000 Electric Car

The Copera Born underwent two significant tests by Autocar to determine its worth as the best electric car of 2024. The first test was a pure handling test, where the car was pitted against other electric rivals on some of the best driving roads in Yorkshire. The results were impressive, with the Copera Born emerging as the winner. What made it stand out was that everyone who tested it wanted to drive it home at the end of the day – a clear sign that it's a car people want to own and enjoy.

The Second Test: Sub 40,000 Electric Car

The second test, known as the sub 40,000 electric car test, covers all areas of the market, including ride and handling, performance, range efficiency, and practicality. The Copera Born excelled in this test, ticking off a long list of boxes for judges. Its desirability was one of the standout factors, making it clear that this is an electric car that can do it all – from daily driving to longer trips.

Range and Charging: A Key Consideration

When it comes to electric cars, two things are top of mind for many buyers: range and charging. Autocar tested the Copera Born's real-world range, which came out at around 250 miles. While this may not be enough for long-distance driving, it's more than sufficient for most journeys. Additionally, the car can charge up to 170 KW, making it quick to top up on the go.

Design and Features: A Winner in Both Departments

The Copera Born is also a winner when it comes to design and features. Its exterior design is sleek and smart, with a distinctive copper-colored trim that sets it apart from other electric cars. The interior is equally impressive, with ample space for five passengers and luggage, plus an updated infotainment system. Overall, the Copera Born has done a great job of lifting itself above its peers in both departments.

Conclusion

The Copera Born stands out from the rest of the electric car market due to its exceptional design, impressive performance, and practicality. Whether you're looking for a daily driver or a long-distance companion, this car is definitely worth considering. With its desirability and range efficiency at the top of its class, it's no wonder that Autocar has named it the best electric car of 2024.
