The CUPRA Leon is developed to revamp the high-performance compact segment, building on the generations of vehicles that came before it.
“The king of Leons draws together the core elements that every vehicle of the brand must have: design, performance and dynamism,” said Wayne Griffiths, President of CUPRA and SEAT. “It is a vehicle that is helping us to win over even the most demanding car enthusiast, grow the brand, and take its vehicles to an even broader audience.”
Underpinned by the MQB Evo platform and a suite of technologies, the design and development team created a vehicle that specifically delivers CUPRA’s core characteristics. At its heart is a range of extraordinary powertrain options that mix the most advanced combustion technology and the pinnacle of the industry’s push towards electrification.
Available in two body styles available – 5-door and Sportstourer – the CUPRA Leon expands its appeal, allowing customers to choose the vehicle that best fits their lifestyle, without needing to compromise on performance, comfort or practicality.
The range of powertrains includes 245PS, 300PS (and exclusively available for the Sportstourer, 310PS 4Drive) 2.0 litre TSI petrol engines that provide a breadth of performance that allows the CUPRA Leon to suit anyone’s taste. And in a world that is constantly aiming to reduce its impact on the environment, the all-new CUPRA Leon also brings electrification to the high-performance segment in the form of two plug-in hybrid versions, with either 204 or 245PS.
The power delivery is matched by the CUPRA Leon’s dynamics and its ability to harness the power, delivering a controlled, involved and energetic ride.
Its highly advanced range of powertrains works in unison with the vehicle’s dynamic chassis technologies. Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) gives greater control over the setup of the vehicle, drivers can choose between Comfort, Sport, CUPRA and Individual. The last of which gives almost infinite control to tune the chassis to exact requirements. While front-wheel drive petrol versions benefit from a front differential lock (VAQ).
These are only part of the CUPRA Leon’s attributes, it’s also one of the safest vehicles the brand has ever developed, integrating some of the most advanced driver assistance systems to keep occupants away from accidents whether on the highway, in the city or simple moving away from a parking space.
And in a highly digitalised world, the CUPRA Leon not only offers on-road performance and safety but also provides a high level of connectivity. It gives instant access to your smart device in the vehicle cabin, allows access to vehicle specific online services, making the CUPRA Leon the intersection between the road and connectivity.
The CUPRA Leon’s elegant mix of sportiness and sophistication in its exterior and interior design, its highly connected, digitalised user experience and the integration of some of the most advanced driver assistance systems available, and its enormous range of conventional and electrified powertrains set the CUPRA Leon apart, making it one of the most appealing vehicles the brand has ever offered.
