It has been a while since I have ordered a new car, and after having a MK1 Leon CUPRA, MK1 Leon CUPRA R, MK2 Leon CUPRA, MK3 Leon CUPRA 280 and MK3 Leon CUPRA 300, I've had a few Leons!
After lots of anticipation after buying my current Ibiza CUPRA to see me through until CUPRA's first Leon was unveiled, it didn't do it for me looks wise and we got stitched up on the spec here in the UK as well.
The new 2024 facelift CUPRA Leon, however, does right many of the wrongs (if you go for the top-spec model), amazing brakes, amazing bucket seats, great sound system, and lovely wheels, side skirts, spoiler, and I really like the new front and rear design.
So I decided to take the plunge, and a placed a factory order at the weekend. The only downside is that the prices have gotten silly since the pre-facelift version. Really silly. The only way I could justify it was that I managed to get a really good discount, which took the sting out of it. It's still not cheap, but this is the world we live in!
I will keep this thread updated when it arrives and my first impressions. I'll likely get to review a press model before then, however, and of course, I will bring you a video review. I have already done a first impressions video, but that is the first edition (not the spec I have ordered).
In the meantime, here are the specs and some pictures from the configurator. Now, the wait begins! (expected delivery 3 to 4 months).
