The latest addition to the Leon family line boasts an abundance of technology and is the brand’s first fully-connected car.
There are six superb trims available – SE, SE Dynamic, FR, FR Sport, Xcellence or Xcellence Lux – and all vehicles deliver a highly personalised experience.
As part of SEAT’s easymove strategy, customers only need to choose the trim level, engine and colour on the online configurator. Each has its own unique equipment and all feature metallic paint as standard.
Seven colours are available: two solid (Candy White and Pure Red) and five metallic (Nevada White, Midnight Black, Desire Red, Mystery Blue and Magnetic Grey).
The new-generation car is available in petrol (TSI), diesel (TDI), mild-hybrid (eTSI) and plug-in hybrid (eHybrid) units, each designed to deliver the highest levels of performance and driveability.
Design
The all-new SEAT Leon uses the latest in lighting technology both in the cabin and around the exterior of the vehicle to accentuate its dynamic styling and brings focus to the overall design.
Its light design at the rear spans the width of the car makes the newcomer stand out to other road users. It also includes dynamic indicators, making the vehicle’s intended direction of travel clearer to other drivers.
Inside, the cabin features a configurable full-LED wraparound ambient lighting system, showcasing the interior’s character and creating an unbroken arc of light . The light wraps around the entire width of the top of the dashboard and continues through the doors. It’s not only an ambient decorative light, but it also provides key functions such as the alert for blind spot detection.
