The new SEAT Leon is a stunning car – with its unique, emotional design, dynamic sporting character, innovative technologies, refined quality and premium elegance.
The third-generation Leon is an all-new car developed from the ground up. Its predecessors stood for driving fun and outstanding functionality – a tradition the new Leon will continue. The new Leon is built at the Martorell factory near Barcelona, Spain. Since the premiere of the first-generation Leon in 1999, SEAT has sold 1.2 million cars from this highly successful range.
The new Leon is the most beautiful way to drive a functional car. The five-door is packed with high-end technologies – in its infotainment, assistance systems, running gear and drive. The engines combine performance with efficiency.
Every power unit, all of them state-of-the-art TDI and TSI engines, are the best in their class in fuel consumption and emissions. The highlight is the Leon 1.6 TDI with start/stop system – its average fuel consumption is just 3.8 litres per 100 kilometres, equating to 99 grams of CO2 per kilometre. The inclusion of optional full-LED headlamps is a truly pioneering move by SEAT.
SEAT is offering a wide selection of state-of-the-art infotainment solutions in the new Leon. The foundation for this is the SEAT Easy Connect operating system, which enables the control of entertainment and communication functions, in addition to numerous vehicle functions, via a cockpit touchscreen.
For the first time, SEAT is using a touch-sensitive screen with proximity sensor (5.8-inch screen). As soon as the driver’s or passenger’s finger approaches the touchscreen, the system automatically switches from display to operating mode.
In operating mode, the elements that can be activated via the touchscreen are brought to the fore, making intuitive use (smartphone-style swipe and zoom gestures) even easier. The display mode, on the other hand, is distinguished by its extremely clear and uncluttered presentation. The graphics of both modes are a perfect match for the sporty aesthetic of the SEAT design.
The new Leon starts from €16,690 and includes a five-year warranty on parts and labour and a 12-year warranty on its fully galvanised body.
