Seat Leon 2020 - Present
Summary
This the fourth generation of Leon is more impressive than ever with its mix of Spanish style and German engineering. It shares the same platform as the VW Golf but some would argue that it is the Seat that is the more impressive looking car. It is practical too with 380 litres of space in the boot that can be further increased by folding the split rear seats. There is great knee and head room for occupants in the front and rear and a good driving position thanks to the multiple levels of adjustment in the front and rear. The interior in general feels very well put together with a neat wraparound dash that is ergonomically excellent and comes with a smart digital cockpit and touchscreen infotainment system. There is a good range of petrol, diesel and hybrid engines that all come highly recommended with a fine blend of performance and economy. The Leon performs well as a motorway cruiser but can equally be enjoyed on the twisty bits, especially in FR sport guise.
