Even tho I understand the idea of leveraging analytics to enhance viewers' engagement, I must certainly confess that I did not like the new format as it felt "rushed". A big reason why I watch every video of yours is because of your humorous comments (personality overall) combined with your profound EV knowledge. (just my personal opinion)
Agreed. Catering to the viewers with short attention spans means that eventually you'll only have viewers with short attention spans. Edit to add: Although the same argument could be made about viewers with longer attention spans. It's a balancing act for sure, still, I found this one a bit rushed.
@@KevinT3141 Your point makes sense, maybe Bjorn wants to get to some point in the middle and do a balancing act. I am not an expert on the dynamics of TH-cam but I would guess a small pool of viewers that watch long videos is better than a larger audience with the attention span of a golden fish.
Bjorn, please ignore the analytics. I love the videos as they already were. All the banter and chat is the best bit. Not really bothered about just having the basic info at speed. I don't fast forward and love hearing the banter while I cook dinner or do the washing up. The entertainment is what makes you different and the best. Please do it like you always did. This one iOS too rushed and missing the fun and personal touch you had before.
Would have still liked to see the measurements, especially trunk dimensions (height Bottom Floor to roof). We have a big dog (Golden Retriever), and he needs some headroom when he's in the car. The measurements where one of those things nearly nobody takes, and which made your reviews extra interresting.
For me the new format felt a bit rushed, and I like the older format much better. Even though I don’t skip the parts you were talking about personally, I would much prefer the old format and then fast forward through the parts I wish to skip. It’s not an easy thing to please everyone 😅 but personally I hope you decide to go back to the old format, or maybe switch them up a bit depending on the car. But then again, which car should get the longer version, and which car should get the shorter version 😅 Anyway, I love your videos, so keep up the amazing work!
Forget the TH-cam stats. This one was too fast and too cursory and no jokes or interesting analogies. The reason we watch your videos is for the jokes, analogies and the super scenery of Norway and Europe. All the best.
For those in the market looking into this car, you can get it with ski hatch, the one shown is a cheapest model. In many markets its not the poor mans ID3, why SEAT gave it over to the Cupra brand, if it remained SEAT they would have to make cheaper. You can also get better seats with full power just like the ID3 and leg extension for comfort.
I actually watch the entire video, I think it's really entertaining to watch the whole thing as long as it's not too long, also while I drink my coffee. The only thing, it's when you spend too much time with the infotaiment system, I usually skip it, but the rest it's interesting to watch.
Maybe timestamps would be more effective than rushing the video if you are concerned about people clicking off the video? Let them skip the parts they are not interested in and keep the content the same.
The new format did feel a bit rushed. It lost some soul and Bjørn-ness. I suspect skippers are just after the key facts, whereas many of us are interested in your view. Don't mind missing the laser cannon bit, though.
Ah yes Bjørn Nyland my EV guy. I just wanted to say I love your simple reviews, acceleration tests and range tests Although not planning on having EVs now, it entertains me to watch your videos
Bjørn was THE reason our family went electric and THE source for reliable, unbiased information about the cars we were planning to buy. We now drive a 2020 Renault Zoe R135 and a 2021 Tesla Model 3 LR. Never been happier.
@@bjornnyland nothing really. I like this new format. I understand that you need to keep it fresh. Oh yeah, an idea popped up! Outside noise dings or chimes when the vehicle is in reverse. My neighbors car has a loud one and it's annoying since the parking always takes like 10 directional changes. Makes me want to take over the car and park it faster.
Most reviewers review the higher spec seats with dinamica, a softer fabric. In the UK their demonstrator cars are also using this, so your in depth interior review is useful for those looking to buy one with the lower spec seats. What's the seat material like? It's based on reclaimed plastic from the sea, how is it for comfort, is it sweaty? Hard wearing? Also, what's the roof material like?
Hi Bjørn, there are options to get both a ski hatch and a "double" floor in the boot/trunk, where there is a panel that raises the boot floor to be level with folded seats, but it can be removed and stowed to make the floor lower if you need that space.
Thanks for the video but please stick to the way you always did all your videos we like you because of that 🙏😎, the seats on the top of the range trim are so much better is like alcantara. Here in the uk finally we have the cars but prices are really high on the v3 boost version ( with a few options goes well into almost 44.000 pounds which is crazy for this car in my opinión. Thanks for the videos
I'm pretty sure this car is the "poverty spec" car Björn. We are taking delivery of the Launch edition Born here in Spain this week. This has the same features as the ID3 in higher spec versions with the ski hatch, electric seats, travel assist etc. Unfortunately here they don't allow you to spec the heat pump, which is very annoying. However we really preferred the exterior look an interior quality feel of the Born. Like you said, it depends on what you prefer personally. Another thing is that you now can't buy either the ID3 or the Born as the Zwickau plant has closed due to supply issues with parts that are made in Ukraine.
I’m sure you and everyone here knows this, but just in case: the WhatTheHeckIsThisThing is a detachable tow ring. Other than that, I liked your new format, and I *really* like this car!
Just be Björn Björn, go deep with the reviews😃. Trim level on the car would be nice to hear, for example: diffrence in comfort of the seats, i tried the id3 with the basic seats and the where not good at all, no support for shoulders(just like a lot of cheaper versions of golfs, but often in press cars they have the highest trim levels an comforteble seats. Ha de bra Björn Med vänlig hälsning Micke, följare sen du köpte din model X😊
Bjorn, I’ve been watching you from the start and was a bit unsure when you stopped doing your crazy weekend delivery’s, I loved the driving all over your country and also watch Hindu Cowgirl for the same reason, it is like another world to an Australian. But it’s your style and personality I watch and appreciate. May I suggest you stay with your style, and remember the old adage “you can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time” personally I’ve never skipped any of your content.
Your comment on the boot is incorrect Bjorn. The 'floor' has 2 mounting positions and that car was in it's the lowest position. Also that appears to be the cheapest model and most versions I have seen have the all important ski hatch.
@@bjornnyland It was more about the atmosphere. I like your chilled attitude. Now it felt like you have set up a clock and need to finish the video very fast. Also your talking was very fast in my opinion.
@@bjornnyland I think he means the tempo of the video. Too much focus on being quick maybe. I think even though some people skip, a lot of people still enjoy the small talk and vlog tempo you usually have. Great video either way. I think a condensed review is fine as long as we have the longer vlogs and 1000km challenges and whatever as an addition. Cupra born is really nice. I wish it wasn't so "VAG". Same with id series. It's too close to the ice VAG cars
@@bjornnyland Felt like you had to be somewhere else and were watching the clock. Or maybe you needed to visit the bathroom! Please go your usually friendly chatty speed so that we can feel involved and entertained by your personality. It's more important than rushing to please some people.
@@bjornnyland Too rushed and missed the personal touch which makes it real and so much fun. DOnt want a speedy review. Want to take time and enjoy the entertainment.
I have had the automatic head lights in my last three vehicles but I am a bit old school and use the manual setting. I also do not eat in the car as rule. I will take a sip of coffee at the lights only. I was watching the video live and have to step away for a few minutes after that incident.
While GA is a valuable tool to analyse what your viewers watch or skip, I felt that you rushed into an incoherent explanation of some features, but missed others and came to no conclusion. I got the impression you had a train to catch, so needed to get the video finished as soon as possible. It's a shame that your continued calling of this car and others a "poor man's" version doesn't show up on GA. You may cut that out. It's very insulting to the car and the people who own them.
It would be nice if the tow iron could be placed better , in the back-door. And that they also could be better to provide a better dog area in the back.
Range and charging vids on this car were redundant, you had already done the id3 so we all expected similar. All we want to know about the Cupra is what differentiates it from the id3
Probably depends on the market, but in the UK the base model of the Born has different standard equipment to the base ID3 (no heated seats, for example, or ID light, but has other stuff instead). At the end of the day, it's a Seat - so it's supposed to be cheaper than the ID3. It's not the "sporty version", it's a superficial version.
I commend you for doing your homework. I like the condensed overview, but please don't pan the camera too fast in the process as it can get sketchy to follow. Cupra Bjorn for the win!
I’m interested to see if your going to do a banana box test on the cupra because I’m struggling to gage the size of it , it looks “golf” sized but but I’m told it’s bigger than that ? I’m not sure . Cool car though !
I think legacy automakers using the START ENGINE button because they've orderd a million in bulk. And they won't throw them out :DDDD So it'll be here for a loooong time.
Lol, he knows. That's a running gag that us regular viewers would be sorely disappointed for if he left it out. In fact he kind of sped over it in this one, which bummed me out a little.

100%. I for one was disappointed with the half-hearted "What the heck is this thing?" comment. That's the one that always has me coming back for more.

We have a big dog (Golden Retriever), and he needs some headroom when he's in the car.

There’s an option to raise the floor of the trunk…called „Cargo Pack“.

The laser measurements could be just a static slide where you show them, especially trunk details.

That ongoing towing hook mystery
Looks like a disaster to sleep in. Was the ID3 also like this?
Yes
I have had the automatic head lights in my last three vehicles but I am a bit old school and use the manual setting. I also do not eat in the car as rule. I will take a sip of coffee at the lights only. I was watching the video live and have to step away for a few minutes after that incident.
when are going to test the renault megane e tech ?
”Poor mans ID3” lol
"Born" makes reference to El Born neighborhood in Barcelona. Seat and Cupra use spanish location names for their models.
In fact, they are the same company, SEAT, SA.
Happy i bought a eNiro 64kWh a few month ago.

I never made a charging video of Cupra Born.
Pls be yourself. That’s what everyone will love. Ignore analytics
Nice interior, much better than id3, it can't be worst by the way 😅
Damn you for skipping Bjorn's videos 🙉
If you would consider commenting on the range using your sheets into video like this, it could be complete review.
is 1000km challenge coming with cupra 58kwh? im thinking about this car, rly would love to see that :D
also would love to see the best things with this car, and the worst.
What is the rush all about ? Simple do your normal reviews that is how you build up your channel
This would be great in the US, since we have no cheap EVs besides LEAF
you know he lives in a cold and country when you see him clap with his feet when he jumps in the seat.
It's a shame that all this car seems to have going for it on the surface is the pretty face!
So this is cheaper than the id3? Wasn't expecting that. Considering it's meant to be a sporty version of id3
Probably depends on the market, but in the UK the base model of the Born has different standard equipment to the base ID3 (no heated seats, for example, or ID light, but has other stuff instead).

@Bjørn Nyland: Did you aim for a runtime of just over 10 minutes?
No
Will you still be doing your ASMR driving review?
A Born for Bjorn?
Indeed
Good but better as a SEAT
Looks like an angrier Kia EV6 from the front.
Today I learned, all my favourite parts are other peoples least favourite
I think legacy automakers using the START ENGINE button because they've orderd a million in bulk. And they won't throw them out :DDDD So it'll be here for a loooong time.
And the supplier thought they'd produce a million extra just to be sure. So even the pure EV companies and newcomers end up using the same buttons
What the heck is it?!
Nice car, not worth almost £40,000 though!
