The SEAT Leon 1.5 TSI EVO FR is a fine example of how clever engineering and Spanish flair can make everyday driving genuinely enjoyable. Beneath its sharp, confident lines lies a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivering 130 PS – a unit that’s both spirited and efficient thanks to SEAT’s smart cylinder deactivation technology. It’s eager to rev, smooth through the gears, and wonderfully balanced for those who like their hatchbacks to feel alive on a twisty B-road. Inside, the FR trim adds a sporting edge without sacrificing comfort. Supportive sports seats, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, and subtle red stitching set the tone, while the infotainment system – crisp, responsive, and well-integrated – ensures the cabin feels thoroughly modern. There’s ample space for passengers and luggage alike, making it as practical as it is engaging. On the move, the Leon feels planted and composed, with steering that’s precise and communicative. The suspension strikes an impressive balance between agility and refinement, handling potholes and corners with equal poise. It’s the kind of car that reminds you why manual gearboxes still matter – rewarding to drive, yet perfectly civilised when you just want to cruise. Stylish, efficient, and genuinely enjoyable, the SEAT Leon 1.5 TSI EVO FR is a hatchback that delivers on every front – sporty enough to stir the soul, sensible enough to live with every day, and proof that driving pleasure needn’t cost the earth.
