Seat CEO Jürgen Stackmann unveiled the brand’s latest top model, the Leon ST Cupra, at the Vienna Auto Show this month.

The new member of the exceptionally successful Leon family is a unique combination of top performance, perfect style and compelling utility.

A maximum load space of 1,470 litres can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in the Leon ST Cupra 280 in six seconds.

The stunning design, individual equipment options and excellent quality are further points that make the Leon ST Cupra a very special proposition.

“The new Leon ST Cupra is the perfect complement to our high-performance model line-up. The combination of refined performance and expressive dynamics with relaxed long-distance comfort and compelling utility make it utterly unique,” Stackmann said.

“The Cupra shows Seat’s brand values at their best. We are proud of the technical excellence and quality it conveys.”

A concentrated package of hi-tech guarantees the enormous performance of the new Cupra. At the top is the 2.0 TSI engine with dual injection and variable camshaft timing.

The regulated top speed of 250 km/h is a matter of course. The maximum torque of 350Nm across the wide range of 1,700 to 5,600rpm guarantees impressive pulling power in every situation.

The Cupra also states its position as the top model in the Seat range through the progressive steering, dynamic chassis control, front-axle differential lock, Cupra Drive Profile and high-performance brake system with 18-inch wheels.

Also standard equipment, are the full-LED headlamps and the LED rear lights.

Alongside their distinctive design, LED headlamps have many further benefits – they illuminate the road ahead at a colour temperature of 5,300 Kelvin.

Because this is very similar to daylight, it places very little strain on the eyes. When it comes to efficiency, the LEDs consume minimal energy – dipped beam, for instance, draws just 20 watts per unit.
