SEAT Leon generations

SEAT first introduced the Leon in 2000 as a mix between a hatchback and a coupé. It was the first vehicle to come out of the partnership created with Volkswagen, built on the fourth-generation Golf. With the Leon now in its fourth generation, there have been several styling upgrades and many features added to make it competitive in today's market.

Fourth Generation (2020 to Present)

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.

Third Generation (2013 to 2020)

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.

Second Generation (2005 to 2012)

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.

Used SEAT Leon FAQ's

Which is the most popular engine in the SEAT Leon?

The 1.0 TSI seems to be among the most popular, probably because it's also the cheapest. While it has the lowest output of any engine, there's plenty of power for everyday driving in the city or on the motorway.

Which are the most popular trim levels?

Currently, SEAT offers the Leon in four trims: SE, SE Dynamic, FR and FR Sport. The FR trims have been popular due to their unique sporty styling and upgraded tech features. The newest lineup includes wireless phone charging, the larger colour touchscreen with navigation, and three-zone climate control for complete comfort.

What optional extras should I look out for?

The Leon has been available with so many different engines, wheel designs and colours that it's difficult to find two that are exactly the same. With so much customisation, you should be able to find what you want in the used market. However, we recommend looking for enhanced safety features for more protection and a leather interior for that little bit of extra luxury.

Is the SEAT Leon a good family car?

Yes, there's enough room for five adults to fit comfortably, with even the middle back seat relatively comfortable for short journeys. While there is slightly less boot space than some competitors, SEAT has prioritised rear legroom.

Is there a hybrid version of the SEAT Leon?

SEAT did release the 1.4 plug-in hybrid powertrain, which creates 201bhp. On a single charge, it provides a maximum electric-only driving range of up to 40 miles, which allows for short daily commutes without using any petrol, before switching to petrol/electric hybrid power.

Is the SEAT Leon available as an automatic?

Yes, there have been both manual and automatic gearboxes supplied with the SEAT Leon. However, more manual Leon models have been made than automatic.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

SEAT did provide four-wheel drive with the Cupra-branded lineup. The general Leon models only come with front-wheel drive though. It can be difficult to find a Leon with all-wheel drive, and it will require more searching in the used market.
