2024 CUPRA Leon first look video

[Syphon]

We were invited up to CUPRA HQ to take a first look at the new 2024 CUPRA Leon, the car’s mid-life refresh for their hot hatchback. We also took some photos for you, which you will find below, along with more in the media gallery.

Is it just me or does the nose look very Hyundai now?

It's not just you. Ever since the Mk4 Leon came out, I thought it looked very "generalized". Like a Hyundai / Ford Focus mash-up. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful car imo. You can go ahead and call me biased, but the Mk3 Leon is for me personally still the most unique when it comes to design.

Agree with you on the mk4; just another one of many similar designs.

I always thought the mk2 design was quite ‘unique’ as IMHO it bucked the trend of being the same as everything else on the roads when it was launched. My favourite Leon designs are the mk1 and mk3 though.

Mk2 was very unique - I distinctly recall the first time I encountered the steeply raked A pillar, as my head entered the car...

Some really interesting details to the car, logo in the rear lights, own colour code & more individual than the Audi/VW fleet.
I think this will be a popular choice for those buyers looking for something different but fun to drive. I think Cupra have really opened up that market again.
Personally, I'm not so keen on its front, but I am stuck in the dark ages with the Mk1's, so unless they go back to that design, I'll never think the modern Cupra's have the same wow factor
Great review though Scott, thanks very much for sharing

I think Cupra should be giving you one for free. A goodwill gesture for looking after their customers

Sat in one today to test the sound system . It doesn't disappoint.
Having had 3 mk3 estates and moved away from a MK4 to an Ateca, I'm more than happy to go back to the Leon

Agreed

When do you expect to have a full review of the Cupra Leon and estate up?
