The newly redesigned CUPRA Leon is now available to order in the UK.
Created to appeal to the next generation of CUPRA drivers, the new design features a striking, shark-nose front end embellished with an integrated CUPRA logo, triangular LED lights (matrix as standard on VZ3 trim), and an illuminated logo positioned in the centre of the rear light.
Complimenting the fresh exterior is an enhanced interior. The centre console, door panels, dashboard and upholsteries have all been redesigned leaving the driver surrounded by new and sustainable materials with a high quality feel.
Now open for order in the UK the CUPRA Leon sports the latest plug-in hybrid technology capable of 272PS and an electric-only range of more than 70 miles.
Pricing starts £31,090 OTR for the hatch and £33,370 OTR for the Estate.
“These latest designs for the hugely successful CUPRA Formentor and CUPRA Leon have been developed to lead the brand into a new era. From the sustainable materials inside, to the integrated lighting outside, both models have been created to offer drivers an unforgettable experience.
“We have not held back on performance either. CUPRA Formentor and Leon have been redesigned to be as much of a thrill to drive as they are to look at with new powertrain options, both petrol and e-Hybrid.
“We’re delighted that we’re able to offer the new designs in addition to the CUPRA Born VZ, giving UK drivers even more to choose from in our range.”
Marcus Gossen, Director of SEAT and CUPRA UK
Fresh look: enhanced exterior design
The new CUPRA Leon exteriors are designed to impress. Featuring a shark-nose front end, triangular LED headlights, and a big, bold lower mouth, the face presents a strong and determined look with an integrated and illuminated CUPRA logo in the centre.
Well-balanced proportions are complemented by an athletic side profile, with a variety of 18-inch to 19-inch alloy wheels available. At the rear are coast-to-coast taillights, and to continue the lighting theme, at the centre sits an illuminated CUPRA logo with the V-shaped tailgate further accentuating the emblem.
New paint finishes are also available in the new and exclusive Century Bronze Matt or Enceladus Grey Matt. The palette of colours is then completed with Fiord Blue, Midnight Black, Glacial White, Magnetic Tech, Graphene Grey, and Magnetic Tech Matt, and Taiga Grey premium metallic finish.
New materials and digitalisation: interior uplift
The interior has received a significant uplift. The centre console, door panels, dashboard and upholsteries have all been redesigned, whilst the bucket seats in both cars are now wrapped in either 73% recycled microfibre or environmentally conscious leather.
In addition, on the VZ3 trim levels, CUP bucket seats come as standard to provide that sportier performance feel, with the decorative elements of the interior such as the centre console and air vents arriving in a dark chrome finish.
The technology within the new CUPRA Leon has also seen enhancements. Sitting at the centre of the driver’s focus is a larger 12.9-inch infotainment system, which complements a new and improved Human Machine Interface (HMI) within the digital cockpit.
Sound remains a high priority in the redesigned model, with an all new high-fidelity 12-speaker audio sound system from Sennheiser as standard on the CUPRA Leon VZ3 trim – delivering a unique audio experience.
Performance to match the look: new powertrains
Alongside the design enhancements, CUPRA Leon also receive new powertrains.
The entry point is a four-cylinder 1.5-litre 150PS (110kW) engine that is linked to a six-speed manual transmission, available on both the hatchback and Estate.
The CUPRA Leon hatchback then receives a 2.0-litre unit with 300PS (221kW) for additional performance, that is front-wheel drive with a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission.
Topping the range for the Estate is the all-new 2.0-litre 333PS (245kW) direct-injection, turbocharged petrol engine linked to a seven-speed transmission, the VZ3 trim comes equipped with torque splitter technology and Akebono brakes.
As a result, this produces the most powerful CUPRA Leon ever.
Both the hatchback and the Estate are available as a mild-hybrid option thanks to the 48V mild-hybrid technology mated to the new 1.5-litre 150PS (110kW) unit.
Drivers have the option of e-Hybrid technology for their CUPRA Leon (both hatchback and Estate). Two e-Hybrid units – 204PS (150kW) and 272PS (200kW) deliver an all-electric range of more than 70 miles.
