SEAT is entering the next phase of its story, bringing new cars, efficient and electrified engines, new standards of connectivity, and greater emphasis on design, starting with the all-new SEAT Leon.The Leon has been a cornerstone of the SEAT range since 1999, accumulating more than 2.2 million sales globally (252,416 in the UK) across three generations of the model, transforming the brand into a key competitor in the UK.The all-new SEAT Leon is the latest vehicle in this lineage – adding connectivity, electrified powertrains, automated safety systems – designed, developed and built at SEAT’s facilities in Martorell, Barcelona.The hatch and Estate sector of the market is increasingly competitive, with new entrants and a move towards larger vehicles; however, the all-new SEAT Leon, with a strong design evolution, greater practicality, connectivity and efficient, electrified powertrains, meets the challenge.

Since its creation in 1999, the SEAT Leon has always excelled in lighting. Each of its four generations has been ahead of its time, incorporating the most cutting-edge technology of the moment in a process of constant updating. “The Leon has always been a benchmark, not only in SEAT, but in the compact segment as well. It has always incorporated the most efficient and powerful light sources to guarantee the safest night-time driving” explains Magnolia Paredes, head of Electronic Development and Validation in SEAT’s Lighting Department. She has been with the company for 20 years, practically the same number of years that the Leon has been lighting the way.
From the first 1400 until today, screens have gone from non-existent to being a central feature in design and usabilityThe new SEAT Leon is equipped with a central screen that is the hub for controlling all the car’s functionsFour years of user interface design have gone into creating a system that is convenient and customisable for the driver
A breath of fresh air for the compact hybrid vehicle segment: the new SEAT Leon e-HYBRID is now available. The drive of the Spanish compact takes over the combination of a highly efficient gasoline internal combustion engine and a powerful electric motor. The new SEAT Leon e-HYBRID can travel up to 72 kilometers purely electrically and can even be recharged from a standard 230-volt socket. Taking the current e-mobility premium into account, prices start at 27,085 euros.More and more buyers are deliberately choosing a vehicle with a hybrid drive. With good reason: while the vehicle is quietly driven around the city with no local emissions and with no local emissions, both engines together become a real powerhouse at higher speeds or when overtaking maneuvers: in the SEAT Leon e-HYBRID, they jointly produce up to 150 kW ( 204 PS), which accelerate the vehicle from standstill to 100 km / h and further up to 220 km / h in 7.4 seconds. A 6-speed dual clutch transmission ensures a high level of comfort and efficient propulsion.
With more than 300 active patents, SEAT has a wide history of innovation through its 70 years. Three main inventions revealed the fundamental aspects of SEAT, such as its forward-looking vision - the child safety seat of 1955 -; its vindication for functional design with - the logo-handle - of the facelift of the second generation SEAT Ibiza; or its firm commitment to style, with - the hidden door handle - of the second generation SEAT Leon.
