Refurbished SEAT Leon can drive over 100 kilometers electrically
Facelift?
There is really no typical facelift with the updated Leon.
On the outside, in fact, there is very little new on this Spanish model.
Okay, every new Leon (Sportstourer) now has standard LED lighting and optional matrix LED lighting, but the exterior lines remain unchanged.
Inside, however, there is news to report.
All models now feature a Digital Cockpit (26 cm) and a latest-generation infotainment system, including a centrally positioned touchscreen (26.4 cm or 32.8 cm) where the touchsliders are now illuminated.
Apple and Android smartphones can be paired wirelessly and charged quickly with 15W.
No three-cylinder
Under the hood, there is also a lot of news.
The 1.0-liter three-cylinder now gives way to a 1.5-liter four-cylinder.
The base version has an output of 85 kW (116 hp) and is mated to a six-speed manual transmission as standard.
The 1.5 eTSI MHEV comes with a choice of 85 kW (116 hp) or 110 kW (150 hp).
Both MHEV versions have a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission as standard.
The Leon 1.5 TSI e-Hybrid PHEV, also standard with DSG, has a system output of 150 kW (204 hp).
This plug-in hybrid variant has a new 19.7 kWh lithium-ion battery, which provides an electric range of up to 132 km.
The PHEV Leon can now fast charge, up to 50 kW.
Prices
The updated Leon comes from 29,750 euros (116 hp, manual transmission).
For the 150 hp variant, the brand asks a minimum of 35,250 euros and for the PHEV you will spend at least 38,950 euros.
This makes it almost four grand cheaper than its sporty brother: the Cupra Leon The SEAT Leon and Leon Sportstourer are now available to order.
