1,395 Used SEAT Leon cars for sale

Based on the same platform as the Volkswagen Golf, Audi A3 and Skoda Octavia, the Mk IV Leon arrived with bolder exterior styling. It had an angular front end with a distinctive pattern on the grille with grey satin surrounding it. This was topped with LED headlights and triangle-shaped daytime running lights. The sloped roofline and raked-forward tailgate accented the roof spoiler, while fake exhausts added to the sporty look.

Inside the cabin, SEAT used many of the same tech features as the Golf, including the touchscreen multimedia display. The powertrain lineup was also revised, ensuring that it was as powerful and efficient as possible.

With a new designer in charge of the Leon, the third generation included angular headlights with claw-like LED daytime running lights. A second grille was added to mirror the one above it, while sculptured doors gave the vehicle a more dynamic appeal.

For the interior, SEAT offered plastic trim to keep the price down or optional Alcantara and leather upholsteries for more luxury. An analogue instrument cluster featured two dials combined with a TFT display.

The Leon lineup was updated to meet Euro 4 standards, but it also included some unique styling. Sharp angles and arched lines made up the body, while the grille was smaller than before. Some models had fog lamps, and the rear door handles were hidden within the C-pillar, so the vehicle looked like a coupé but was as practical as ever.

In 2010, an update was released with some new engine options. In total, there were 19 variants with a total of nine powertrains, many of which were sold with unique customisation options. Also, a larger rear window was added to enhance driver visibility.
