MK3 Leon Cupra, what we know

[jc_boc]

Just watched the Autocar.co.uk review for the new GTI. Looks like the new diff works well http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-video/volkswagen-golf-gti-mk7-video-review

That does look very promising. No doubt then the diff and dsg will be options on the Cupra too.

It's starting to sound like a very appealing package

I wouldn't get your hopes up too much on a 4WD Cupra any time soon (if at all).

All things considered, if a 30k Golf R is worth 22k in 3 years and a Cupra is worth 11k from 22k in the same time, my money wouldnt be going on the Leon, 4 wheel drive or not.

Agreed

There is a 4WD Alhambra, None have come to the UK

An upcoming four-wheel drive version of the Seat Leon will be engineered with right-hand drive and sold in the UK, the firm’s R&D chief Matthias Rabe has revealed to Autocar.

They made left hand drive 4WD mk1 Leons too didn't they that were not offered here in the UK in right hand drive. Not sure about the MK2's? Fingers crossed it is an option on the MK3

But this is all coming from Publications..... None of this information is being PUBLISHED by SEAT ES

Basically reporter has asked Dr Matthias Rabe about 4WD and he has probably said "wait and see"

CJXE Engine, available from 11/13 is that?

 

[Bonzy1800]

Production from 11/13 so around march 2014 available in uk I reckon

 

[Bonzy1800]

Also looking like DSG and manual

 

[JK1]

Four versions of the 184 TDI, one released Feb-July, two released this month and another in November?

 

[Bonzy1800]

Only 2 CUPA and CUNA just in production different times probably supply issues or different emissions for different countries

 

[Syphon]

Good find. As expected on power and timeline.

Or body styles maybe - 5Dr and SC

[Al]

DSG and LSD would be nice for sure

 

[jc_boc]

Will this be the same engine as in the current LCR or a new one?
