SEAT has released details of the hot hatch version of the all-new Leon. It is called SEAT Leon Cupra and will arrive next year in three different body styles. The newest edition Leon will produce more power than VW Golf GTI or Skoda Octavia vRS. The 2.0 litre TSI engine will make around 261bhp. SEAT’s director of vehicle engineering and chassis development, Fermin Soneira Santos, confirmed that the styling would also be more subdued: “It will look different from the standard Leon but not over-the-top. This has to be a car people are proud to own, and you could definitely put your mother in law in this new Cupra.” Santos also said that the price would be competitive with the Golf GTI, so expect it to start from around £26,000 when it goes on sale early next year.
