SEAT Leon 2017 (67) 1.4 EcoTSI 150 FR Technology 5dr DSG

Insurance Group 19, 2 Previous Owners, The SEAT Leon has always been an appealingly sporty alternative to a Volkswagen Golf. It may have the same highquality underpinnings, and share the same engines, but the Leon simply looks that bit racier, that bit faster against the clock. It has the everyday pizzazz lacking in a Golf and, over the years, has earned itself a loyal following as a result. Indeed, ownership satisfaction surveys show Leon drivers to be a very happy bunch particularly those who own the sharpsuited 20132020 car. This was the best Leon ever at launch, a real step on from its predecessor in terms of refinement, sophistication and overall quality. Buyers even had the option of LED headlights a world first in the family hatchback sector. The Leon was offered as a core fivedoor hatch, or a sportier threedoor called Leon SC. There was also an estate, called Leon ST. All Leon of this era are well equipped, with standard air con, touchscreen infotainment, Bluetooth and electric door mirrors. The engines are good, too: 1.6 and 2.0 TDI diesels sold well but the petrols are equally strong, with the 1.4 TSI and later 1.5 TSI proving great allrounders. Then theres the more focused driving dynamics of the Leon, which is crisper and more engaging, without going over the top (unless you choose the highperformance Cupra, that is…).The SEAT Leon delivers a solid amount of outright practicality thanks to a spacious cabin and reasonable luggage capacity. Drivers of all sizes shouldnt have any problems getting into the front seats (although some may find the higher Arona or Ateca easier to climb into), plus storage space is ample. Note that all models apart from the entrylevel SE benefit from an electronic handbrake instead of the older lever design, one of the benefits being an extra storage space between the driver and passenger.Despite its spacious interior, the Leon isnt much larger than its main rivals. In fact, its shorter than the Ford Focus and Hyundai i30 (and a little bit narrower than the latter), meaning garages designed for average sized cars shouldnt have any trouble accommodating the Leon. If things do get supertight however, electrically folding mirrors are fitted as standard on FR models upwards. The thick Cpillars (behind the rear doors) could hamper visibility when reversing, so wed recommend speccing the SE Dynamic trim or upwards in order to get the standardfit front and rear parking sen.12V Power Supply in Centre Console, 17in Alloy Wheels Dynamic 302, 2 Boot Storage Net Left and Right, 7 Airbags, ABS AntiLock Braking System TCS Traction Control System, Active Front Head Restraints and 3 Rear Head Restraints, Aluminium Front Door Sill Trims with FR Logo, BodyColoured Door Handles, BodyColoured Door Mirrors with Integrated LED Indicators, Bumpers Exclusive FR Front and Rear, Chrome Loading Sill, Cruise Control, Dark Tinted Rear Windows, Driver and Passenger Seat Height Adjustment, Driver and Passenger Sunvisor with Covered and Illuminated Mirrors, Drivers Seat Lumbar Adjustment, Dual Zone Climate Control, Electric Parking Brake Including Autohold Function, Electrically Folding Door Mirrors, ElectroMechanical Power Steering, Electronic Differential Lock System XDS, Emergency Tyre Repair Kit, ESC Electronic Stability Control and Tyre Pressure Warning Light Indicator, Front and Rear Electric Windows, Front Assist with City Emergency Braking, Front Seat Back Storage Pockets, Front Sports Seats, Fuel Filler Flap linked to Central Locking, Full LED Headlights, Gearshift Indicator, Head Restraints Height Adjustable Front, High Centre Console, High Gloss Black B and C Pillars, Hill Hold Control, Illuminated Door Sill Plates, Illuminated Glovebox, Instrument Lighting with Brightness Control, Interior Chrome Detailing, ISOFIX Points in Outer Rear Seats with Top Tether Anchorage Points, Lights Left On Warning Buzzer, Low Fuel Warning Light, Luggage Compartment Cover, Media System Plus, Multi Coloured Ambient Lighting, MultiCollision Braking System, Navigation System, Outside Temperature Gauge, Radiator Grille Frame in Chrome, Radiator Grille in Black, Reading Lights Front and Rear with Ambient Spots Boot Lights and Illuminated Foot Area, Rear Parking Sensors, Remote Central Locking with Deadlocks, RPM Counter, SEAT Drive Profile, SEAT Full Link Smartphone Integration Mirror Link Apple CarPlay Google Android Auto, Seatbelt Reminder Front, Seats Passenger Lumbar Adjustment, Split Folding Rear Seats 6040, Sports Suspension, Steering Wheel FlatBottomed Perforated Leather with Red Stitching and FR Logo, Steering WheelMounted Gearshift Paddles, Storage Box Under Drivers Seat, Trip Computer, Two Remote Keys with Window OpenClose Door Mirror Folding and Boot Opening Functionality, Visual Twin Exhaust Pipes
