"The SEAT Leon Cupra is a sharp performance hatchback that is on a track or outside a supermarket as well at home."
high-performance versions of the SEAT Leon hatchback always a cult in the United Kingdom by, and the hottest ever version of the SEAT Leon Cupra is sure that his own fan club, to spawn. The hot hatch has 286bhp and is known as the Cupra 20 because of its metric performance. It is available as a three or five-door hatch, the latter being of course a more practical car for families.

Remarkable efficiency provides affordable performance
While potential buyers of the Leon Cupra will be enticed by its performance they should also not be too concerned about its running costs, which are respectable for such a fast car. The three-door Cupra 20 with an automatic transmission is particularly good administration 43.5mpg, a Leon Cupra is executed, should not break the bank.
CO2 emissions are in the range of 149-156g / km, whichever transmission of the annual vehicle tax is chosen so what to costing between £ 145 and £ 180. Although slower than the SEAT, the Ford Focus ST drinks more fuel and emits more CO2 (39.2mpg and 169g / km), while the 47.1mpg and 139g / km CO2 are achieved by the Golf GTI better, but it's also a lot less than the powerful Cupra.
maintenance should also be affordable, be shared with the rest of the Leon area with most of the non-compliance with parts of the Cupra. With reputation SEAT reliable hot hatch, the Cupra should also prove to go faster supplements very tough. Positive reviews and the sheer attractiveness of Cupra should keep the demand high, to improve values on the used car market.

motors, drive & Performance

One of the fastest front-wheel drive cars on the planet
of Leon Cupra uses the same found in the Golf GTI hatchback 2.0-liter turbo, but here it has been modified 286bhp in Cupra 20. While this seems to produce such a substantial difference, the Leon Cupra feels sensationally fast on the road and it hits 62 hours miles from rest in 5.8 seconds (with DSG) - significantly faster than the 6, 5 seconds from the Golf GTI and Focus ST.
cornering and braking is no less impressive thanks to suspension pardons during day-to-day driving, but sharpens deliver up to sports-car-answers, when you want it. There is plenty of technology below the work surface to maximize grip and keep the Cupra to go exactly where you control it, but these tools on the right track is turned off for maximum driver involvement.

The choice between manual and automatic transmission comes down to personal preference, since neither the power or enjoyment blunts. The manual is easy and pleasant to use, while the automatic offers lightning quick shifts without taking hands off the wheel.

Interior & Comfort

SEAT best interior yet plus adjustable suspension improves comfort
If you often carry passengers in the rear, the five-door SEAT Leon Cupra 20 has not only two additional doors, but also more leg and headroom, making it suitable for those who are more comfortable in the back. The shorter front doors make it easier to get in and out, when you find yourself in a tight parking
Each Cupra also has adjustable suspension -. Selection of the softest setting improves comfort while a firmer best left for track days.

inside the quality gap between the Leon and Golf has decreased, and there is only enough quality materials on display for a car of this price. The navigation display has also been postponed - it is now almost at the same level with the tools to make it much easier to read at a glance. All of the dashboard controls are laid-out logically and the sports seats are fitted, without being too inconvenient for longer trips.
The main problem is we have with the Leon Cupra interior that it's all a bit bland. While it is solid and well put together, it has to adapt any visual pizazz than a standard Leon, not only for its sharp exterior, but it's also exhilarating driving experience.

Despite his speed is, the SEAT Leon Cupra not lose on place
Although there are many additional services, most of the additional kits Cupra is hidden under the hood, the interior so spacious as models below left in the field. The tailgate makes loading and unloading easy and the three and five doors have to beat both a 380-liter boot, the 316-liter capacity of the Focus ST and the Golf GTI fit. Unfortunately, only a tire repair kit is standard, so we would recommend to pay for added peace of mind for an optional space-saving spare wheel more.
The Cupra four adults comfortably accommodate while five squeeze in for shorter distances. The rear seats split 60/40, but not fold completely flat when pushed forward.
The Leon has been designed from the outset to meet families, and also won Best Family Car in CarBuyer the 2014 Car of the Year Award. The doors open very wide for easy access, head and leg room are good, their seats are comfortable and storerooms were well thought out.

Impressive technology, which is of a great Euro NCAP
SEAT, part of the Volkswagen Group, so that the Leon shares secured much of its technology with the VW Golf and Audi A3. The Leon placed 23 of 150 cars in our 2016 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, with a reasonable (if not exceptional) 63 space for reliability. This represents a disappointing decline over 2015 Income Leon, though, where it finished fourth overall came out of the top 0 cars, and 10 for its reliability
SEAT 18 of 32 manufacturers in the Driver Power 2016 survey. - A three-course fall to their 2015 position. The Leon Cupra certainly feels well built, with attractive materials in the cabin and excellent exterior fit and finish. All the controls feel closed rugged and with a reassuring thud doors.
security is excellent, with a five-star score in Euro NCAP crash test, a 94% score for adult occupant protection including. Driver's knee and curtain airbags are standard, such as the electronic stability control to help prevent skids. ISOFIX child seat attachments found on the outer two rear sets. SEAT is also one of the first manufacturers, full LED headlights fit that offer a better and more natural illumination of the road at night.

more power and features than many expensive cars
While the £ 28,375 Leon Cupra is expensive for a hatchback, go the performance and standard kit on offer a long way to justify its price. For similar money, the Golf GTI undercuts is slower, and the Cupra is almost as fast as the £ 30,000 Golf R. If you just but a hot-hatch Bargain want that £ 22,000 Focus ST can not be ignored because it is anything but ,
all as received standard Cupra models LED headlights, cruise control, a DAB digital radio, front and rear parking sensors and a 5.8-inch touch screen with Bluetooth, USB and MP3 connection. Also thrown into the red brake components, black trim and Navi. The "Black Pack" includes upgraded alloy wheels, gloss black exterior mirrors and sporty 'bucket' seats - although at around £ 1,700, it is a relatively expensive option
Full leather upholstery is optional, while it is also. a winter package with heated front seats, heated windscreen washer jets and headlight washers that sounds appealing for the colder months. A beefed-up stereo system is probably less important, but it is worth Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), taking into account, not only because it makes the highway driving more relaxed, but because it is to prevent low-speed accidents by braking the car automatically , This can avoid minor dents, and fitted only with it can lower your insurance costs.
