The SEAT Leon and Tarraco e-HYBRID team up for the first time to take to the streets of BarcelonaThe plug-in hybrid versions feature new battery management functions and remote climate control thanks to the SEAT CONNECT appThe SEAT Tarraco e-HYBRID becomes the brand’s most powerful electrified SUV with a 115 hp (85 kW) electric powertrainHybrid cars have become one of the most popular choices for drivers around the world. 619,129 plug-in hybrid vehicles were sold in Europe in 2020, a 210% increase. At SEAT, the Tarraco e-HYBRID joins the Leon e-HYBRID in the brand’s electric offensive and for the first time, they are driving together on the streets of Barcelona.
Plug-in hybrid cars are here to stay. Not only do they enable you to drive in 100% electric mode, but thanks to the combination of their two engines, they are very versatile vehicles. However, some people believe, for example, that they are not suitable for long journeys, because if you do not find a charging point on the road you are stuck. We dispel this and other false claims with Neus Mesalles, a Complete Vehicle Engineer at SEAT, at the wheel of the brand’s first PHEV, the Leon e-HYBRID.
Each of the four generations of the SEAT Leon has been ahead of its time, while maintaining the same DNA throughout its more than 20-year history. Designed, developed and created in Barcelona, they all share the same essence that has made the Leon a pillar of the brand, and with more than 2 million units sold so far, a legend that continues to grow. “This is the model that put SEAT on the world map of motoring, thanks to its design, technology and quality”, says Isidre López, who is responsible for SEAT’s Historic Car collection.
Since its launch as a stand-alone brand in 2018, CUPRA has developed a complete range of high-performance vehicles, based on contemporary design and sporty performance: CUPRA Ateca, the high-performance SUV, CUPRA Leon – available in both 5-door and Sportstourer variants - and CUPRA Formentor, the first model exclusively developed by the brand, a CUV with benefits of a performance car and with the qualities of an SUV.CUPRA will start its path towards electrification in 2020 with three high performance plug-in hybrid cars: CUPRA Formentor, CUPRA Leon and CUPRA Leon Sportstourer. And in 2021, the brand will launch its first all-electric vehicle: CUPRA el-Born.
