By the EVCostIQ research team · checked against our public methodology · every source on this page is dated

As of 1 July 2026, over 5 years in Spain (9,000 km/year), the Kia Sportage Concept 1.6 HEV 4x2 (239 CV) is still the cheaper car to own: about €35,116 versus €44,683 for the Cupra Born (59 kWh, 231 CV), a gap of €9,567.

Plan MOVES III (Spain's EV purchase grant): up to €7,000 towards a new electric car if you scrap an old vehicle (up to €4,500 without scrappage), as long as the pre-VAT price doesn't exceed €45,000. It's administered by the comunidades autónomas (regional governments), so deadlines, available budget and paperwork vary by where you live — and it's usually taxed as income (IRPF) the following year. Not every buyer receives it, nor the maximum amount, so we show it separately and do not deduct it from the total cost shown above.
