Seats Made From Recycled Ocean Plastic, Not Just A "Green" Marketing Label

Many rental fleets describe their EV additions as "eco-friendly" without detailing any concrete sustainable material inside the car itself. The Cupra Born rental specifically uses named Seaqual seat material sourced from recycled ocean plastic.

Seaqual bucket seats specifically named

The interior features Seaqual bucket seats, a specifically named sustainable material — a concrete, branded material choice, rather than a vague "eco-conscious interior" description without stating what the seats are actually made from.

Battery capacity given in two specific figures

The vehicle is described as having a battery capacity of 77kWh, with a note of 82kWh for certain configurations — concrete, measurable energy capacity figures, rather than an unspecified "long-range battery" claim.

Minimum driver age specifically stated

The rental requires a minimum age of 25 for this particular model — a concrete, stated eligibility requirement, rather than an unaddressed age policy that would only surface at booking.

Five-door, five-passenger configuration specifically confirmed

The vehicle is confirmed as a 5-door, 5-passenger hatchback — concrete, named configuration details relevant to assessing space before booking, rather than an unspecified "compact EV" description.

Positioned within a documented, multi-model electric fleet

The Cupra Born sits alongside other specifically named electric models in the same fleet, including the Polestar 2, Kia EV6, MG ZS EV, and Tesla Model 3 — a concrete, comparable lineup, rather than an isolated EV offering with no stated alternatives.

Carbon-neutral rental positioning specifically stated

The rental is specifically described as a carbon-neutral option that complements the company's existing electric and hybrid fleet — a concrete sustainability positioning tied to a broader, named fleet strategy, rather than a standalone "green" label on a single car.
