Description
At the original launch of this third generation Leon model, SEAT told us that their stylists used a special tool to design this car: light. Every day, the prototype was wheeled outside so the team could see how the reflections and highlights looked under the clear Spanish sun. The end result, a pure interpretation of the company's 'arrow head' design philosophy, is a reward for such attention to detail, a decisive, sharply drawn shape with a clean, crisp, racy look that's especially eye-catching when dressed to kill.
The clever creasing didn't need changing much, so it wasn't significantly altered as part of this mid-term facelift. If you were familiar with the original version of this car, you might notice this improved version's lower, wider bonnet and the bigger, more prominent front grille. The bumper was re-styled too, which meant the addition of a sleeker set of front fog lights that sit just above angular lower corner air intakes.
Take a seat up front and you'll find that the changes are as subtle as those made to the exterior. Even so, long-time Leon users won't take long to spot the two main ones - the addition of an electronic handbrake and a larger 8-inch centre-dash infotainment touchscreen. Both these things come as standard provided you avoid entry-level spec. The trim and cabin finishing was improved too, with smarter upholstery and extra touches like a standard ambient lighting set-up personalisable through eight different colours. The specification on this TDI SE Dynamique includes 17" cross spoke alloys, Parking Sensors, Sat Nav, Bluetooth, contrast grey fabric and much more besides.
