The Seat Leon is a former What Car? Used Car of the Year 🏆 But which versions are best and what do you need to watch out for? 👇
All versions of the Seat Leon get five doors, and you can pick between relatively modest SE trim, the more extrovert styling and sportier driving manners of the FR versions, or a more luxury-focused Xcellence trim.
The entry-level SE trim is surprisingly well-equipped. You get 16in alloys, air conditioning, keyless start, cruise control and even metallic paint as standard. Step up to SE Dynamic and, in addition to various infotainment upgrades, buyers will also enjoy front parking sensors, larger 17in wheels and tinted rear windows.
FR trim plays to the Leon’s strengths, with its standard sports suspension making it great fun through the bends. You get more goodies than with SE Dynamic trim, too, including an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, rain-sensing wipers and climate control. Finally, we have Xcellence with its extensive list of bells and whistles. It gets 17in alloy wheels, LED headlights and taillights, heated front seats, a heated leather steering wheel, suede lined seats, a powered driver’s seat with memory and adjustable lumbar support, three-zone climate control, a rear-view camera and keyless start and entry. And breathe.
On the road, the Leon boasts fun driving dynamics and keen handling. It won’t rattle your fillings out and is compliant over large undulations, such as speed bumps, but it's not quite so absorbent over rough town roads or pockmarked A-roads. The FR trim’s sports suspension makes for a slightly less comfortable ride, but it’s the plug-in eHybrid versions that are the least forgiving Leons along bumpy roads.
