The Seat Leon launched in 1999 is one of the most successful models from the brand based in Martorell, which has just entered a new era with the update that has recently arrived on the national market.
The renewal of the iconic Seat model brings a wide range of engines, including three different technologies: TSI (gasoline), TDI (Diesel), and e-Hybrid (plug-in hybrid). In total, there are four options for powertrains, with power outputs ranging from 115 hp to 204 hp.
Thus, the Leon bids farewell to the three-cylinder engine and is now available exclusively with four-cylinder engines, either the 1.5 TSI (gasoline and plug-in hybrid) or the 2.0 TDI (Diesel).
The entry-level version of the Seat Leon is equipped with the new 1.5 TSI engine (previously 1.0 TSI), which produces 115 hp, 5 hp more than its predecessor, and 220 Nm of torque, an increase of 20 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Finally, a new generation of e-Hybrid (plug-in hybrid) engines is now available, offering 204 hp and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. It combines a 1.5-liter TSI gasoline engine with 150 hp, an electric motor with 115 hp, and a 19.7 kWh lithium-ion battery. This combination allows the SEAT Leon to blend excitement with environmental awareness, with an all-electric range of over 100 km. The battery can now be charged up to 50 kW power at DC fast chargers or 11 kW at an AC wallbox.
Inside, the revamped Leon redefines digitalization with a new and improved human-machine interface (HMI), implemented in the 10.25″ digital instrument panel behind the steering wheel, as well as in the standard 10.4″ infotainment system (previously 8.25″). Additionally, an optional infotainment system with a 12.9″ screen is also available, both featuring a backlit sliding control.
As for prices, Seat has already announced that the revamped Leon starts at €32,636 for the version equipped with the 1.5 TSI engine with 115 hp and in the Style version.
