Release from CUPRA UK:
CUPRA is boosting the Leon line-up by broadening the range of engines available, delivering greater value and sophistication for customers.
Both the Leon 5-door hatchback and Estate will be available with a 1.5-litre TSI 150PS petrol engine and a 2.0-litre TSI 190PS petrol engine. The 150PS unit will be available with both manual and DSG-auto gearboxes, while the 190PS unit will be available exclusively with a DSG-auto gearbox.
“The CUPRA Leon is already a king on the road, but we’re always developing the vehicle to maximise the offering for our customers, making it more customisable and grow its sales targets, with the introduction of these engines, our ambition is to achieve a big success with the CUPRA Leon, as we have done with the Formentor.”
Kai Vogler, Vice-president for Sales and Marketing at CUPRA

Standard equipment will include 18” Machined sport black and silver alloy wheels, LED headlight and taillights, a 12” infotainment system with navigation and Full Link smartphone integration, CUPRA drive profile selection, KESSY Advanced keyless entry and start, Predictive and Adaptive Cruise Control and a rear diffuser with twin exhaust pipes.
