CUPRA Leon 300PS UK pricing and specification
- Thread starter Syphon
- Start date
So does everyone agree the top spec wheels are horrible and we should have had the other multi-spoke full alloy ones (link in original article)?
Yeah I fully agree, I was hoping the multi-spoke alloys were going to be used on the higher trim. They've even got them in a picture (albeit computer generated) on a car with a British plate on the Leon page of the UK website! I was going to get the VZ3 but those wheels are a deal breaker for me.
They are the same as were shown on the PHEV at the launch and part of the styling is actually made out of plastic.
They have blown it for me. There will be no return, not enough choice on what I want without being forced to the top spec which is too much money and has absolutely awful wheels. The whole point with the Mk 3 was it was 5k cheaper than a similar spec'd Golf, and IMHO looked better and was better to drive. It has taken so long to get the CUPRA Leon out they'd released completely new Cupra cars in the meantime.
In summary:
Not enough colour selection, not enough equipment selection and too much money plus questionable styling changes. Big mistake I think, these will be rare on the roads and won't sell anything like the Mk3.

And because they will of cocked it up that much they will probs pull the plug and not make a mk5 cupra leon.
They might even go the same as the Cupra Formentor and release a 1.5 TSI Cupra Leon to shift some. That would also be another own goal. Could see a few younger buyers going for a 1.5 TSI lawnmower edition.
These are the wheels and brakes we should have had
Oh and look Spain also get a nice rear spoiler

Its a no from me, I'm not in the market for another 2.0 car anyway but if I was I'd get the Formentor to be honest. Real shame the 2.5T version is going to be LHD but in reality the price point that is at, I very much doubt they would of sold many here, reckon a good 80% of them will be sold in Germany.
It's a no from me too. Echo others, wheels awful, colours boring, no more performance than a Mk3. I'll keep mine a bit longer and would be looking at i30N or Civic R if I decide to change
All the eHybrids I've seen have still had single piston sliding callipers. Is this a UK Spec thing?
