SEAT will be unveiling the brand new Leon hatchback at the upcoming Paris Motor Show. The Spanish company will unveil the Leon five-door version in Paris, spearheading a new family of models that will eventually comprise five-door hatchback, three-door SC and ST estate. Both FR and SE specifications will be on display at the show.
The third-generation model represents a shift in direction for the Leon, which will give buyers more choice than ever before and ensure that there’s a version to suit every taste and requirement.
The five-door Leon is the embodiment of style-meets-practicality, unifying an aesthetic reminiscent of a coupé with rear space enough for adults; with a 380-litre boot, the new car’s luggage capacity is approximately 40-litres improved over its predecessor’s, and its wheelbase is six centimetres longer, for increased legroom.
Thanks to advanced construction techniques and material use, the new Leon is approximately 90 kilograms lighter than its predecessor model-for-model. And by using a high proportion of soft touch plastics for the interior, as well as cutting edge driver assistance and infotainment systems, the new Leon will sit at the very pinnacle of the family hatchback class when it goes on sale.
Not only is the new Leon the first car in its class to offer full LED headlamps – a recent development in the luxury car sector – it also comes with a ground-breaking driver drowsiness detection function and an automatic lane-keeping assistant.
Sportier FR models will come equipped with SEAT Drive Profile, a system that allows the driver to alter the characteristics of the power steering, throttle and, where a DSG automatic transmission is equipped, the gearing. In Sport mode, the dials turn from white to red, and where the engine has 180 PS or more, its sound is remapped for a more aggressive tone. Every UK Leon will have a colour touchscreen incorporating the radio controls, Bluetooth phone connectivity and other vehicle functions.
