Yeah, there is a 1.0tsi ea211 engine already in use in the Up! City car but it only has 60hp currently, and I remember seeing something about an updated three cylinder version being under development a while ago. As well as a new 10speed dsg to replace both the 6and7 spd versions used at the moment...

No thanks VAG! On both counts ;)

Same here - no thanks vag - even with 110hp

All the info I have found is is dutch market reated, so no guarentee it will be UK spec.

Rear centre armrest added (standard Cupra) to options.
Reversing camera option in one of the packs - not sure if this is a dealer retro thing or factory fit

The only two things i would have chosen, assuming the arm rest would also have a load through/ski hatch.
Annoying they do this.
Camera I'd have no fear of retro fit short of the coding.

St models get rear armrest as standard anyway... Mine did!

And the rear cam I would order without hesitation. Always found it odd you could have one on a crappy Ibiza but not a Leon :-/

i would've added a reversing camera although it's not a deal breaker as Park Pilot is an improvement over what i did have. i expected the centre armrest to be standard and was surprised when it wasn't there especially as my Astra from 20 years ago had one and with load-through too lol

Indeed similar here, I'm going from no parking sensors of any kind to full. So not a disaster.

They did the same with the load trough on the golf V, after 12/18 months it appears!

I would hope that "mirror link" and "Apple carplay" could be sorted by a firmware update.

I'd have thought the Carplay/Android Auto compatibility would be quite a high cost option since it effectively negates the need for someone to order the SatNav so I'd be surprised if they make it available to older cars as a firmware upgrade - although it probably IS just software to enable it, annoyingly!

I wonder when the 2016 version will be available ? I really would like to update my media system software to "enable" Apple CarPlay :)

expecting to see the figure's on the How Many Left website for SORN'd Cupra's to increase as owners get distracted looking at the stats, trying to beat their previous 'High Scores' and not realising the straight road in front has been replaced by a sharp bend with a ditch or a tree.

I wouldn't pay it! I've agreed a price and the finance is set up for that price if the price goes up through no fault of my own then I shouldn't have to foot the bill.

Not sure you would be getting a car then. Have a chat with some of the guys who ordered Golf R's who had their finance offers inflated to absurd levels when firm details of residuals came through.

Its a moot point now as my dealer says the car has been through production now so should be arriving in late May. But if it was significantly higher and they wouldn't budge, and there was no legal route to take (as in getting my brother-in-law who is a lawyer to have a look at it and advise me then I would just walk away.

EDIT: Seat UK say that the price you quoted at order would be the price you pay.

There's a new English-language brochure for the Leon range that mentions some of the new features, such as the reversing camera and traffic sign recognition, but still refers to the 1.2 TSi engine (not a 1.0).

It also describes a special edition called the Leon Connect which has "Full Link" technology compatible withApple CarPlay and Android Auto and is "powered by Samsung". It includes an app that apparently lets you control a Samsung A3 smartphone using gesture controls and gives you alerts about the weather and events from your calendar or Facebook. A picture shows a Samsung phone connected via a USB socket in the centre console. The special edition also has its own upholstery and stitching, a doorstep logo, grey 17" alloys, special mirrors and an external 3D Connect logo.

What's not clear is whether any of these functions will be available on other models - or whether the Leon Connect will be sold in the UK.

Looks like this 'Leon Connect' is a special edition starting from week 45. Is this going to be the only way to get CarPlay?

Looks like it comes with ugly black/dark blue seats, and blue dashboard trim to, don't like it!

I find it odd samsung entertain apple in anyway! All we need is a set up that works with all. It's not rocket science but they'd make us think so.

It may be odd, but it's good business. Samsung makes a very significant number of components that go into the iPhone.

Seat need a system that will allow connectivity of all the phones on the market - not just one. Samsung will be providing that technology.

http://www.seat-mediacenter.com/en-...-the-perfect-alliance-to-be-always-connected/

More logical, samsung win either way.

That link focuses on mirror link, which i should have coming.

The special edition says car play and android auto. Maybe testing the water or covers both...
