I like them both, but chose the Raval for our 2nd car as it will be used for more local trips and the FWD gives it good rear space.

I already have a larger EV (an ID7) with a 370 mile range (WLTP) for longer trips with luggage and four people if needed, It's a great cruiser but a bit of a "plank" to drive locally and on twisty roads though !!

If I just wanted/could afford one EV it would probably be the 77kwh Born (mainly for the range) to cover all options..

I choose Raval:

- To me both cars specced to personal tastes/preferences: 46,500 € Born VZ vs 38,500€ Raval VZ
- Raval looks way better to my tastes and reason for me is simple, the shape, the Born is the Boxy ID.3 look while it does a better styling job versus its VW sibling it's held back by the shape though when my preferences lie towards the sporty & aggressive side
- Raval is more fun/engaging/agile/nimble to drive despite Born being a bit faster
- Disc brakes front and rear (better feeling braking performance)
- Good space and range for its size (generally I prefer the feel of driving smaller cars but too small it becomes too impractical so it's a balance. Cars like R5 and Alpine A290 are too impractical for me (thinking of my workmates especially) while Raval manages to stay practical enough as not just a 2ndary but my primary (I'm single, seldom drive long trips), sure it also helps I prefer Raval's exterior design to both those as well.

The only thing I wish Raval had would be a headsup display option, would have paid extra for that being used to have the speedometer and speed limit floating in my pheripheral vision on my Mazda 3.
