The refreshed Seat Leon lineup includes several powertrain options. The 1.0 TSI three-cylinder engine has been discontinued, replaced by a detuned version of the 1.5 TSI as the Leon's entry-level powertrain option. A four-cylinder 1.5 TSI gasoline engine producing 115 hp and 220 Nm, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. A mild hybrid version, the 1.5 eTSI, offers power choices of either 115 hp or 150 hp, combined with a seven-speed DSG transmission.
The lineup also features a 2.0 TDI turbodiesel and an improved plug-in hybrid variant (PHEV), the 'eHybrid', which integrates a 1.5 TSI engine with an electric motor to deliver a combined output of 205 hp. It has a battery capacity of 19.7 kWh enabling more than 100 km driving range purely on electric power.
Seat Leon (2024)
Technological enhancements in the Leon include a digital cockpit with a 10.25-inch instrument cluster. Standard models come with a new 10.4-inch infotainment display, with an option to upgrade to a larger 12.9-inch screen. Both displays come with illuminated sliders, just like the facelifted VW Golf. Additional optional upgrades for customers looking for more luxury and convenience include matrix LED graphics and a 15W wireless charging pad that keeps smartphones cool during charging.
Production of the upgraded Leon in five-door hatchback and wagon versions will start later this month at Seat's Martorell plant in Barcelona. Pricing will be announced in the near future.
