Seat Leon Hatchback Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers
You’re looking at one of the best value family hatchbacks available on the lease market. The Seat Leon hatchback has been hugely popular for a good while here at Synergy and it’s easy to see why. Utilising parent company Volkswagen’s extensive engineering catalogue, Seat has designed and built a Spanish-flavoured product around the German hardware within, and the Leon hatchback manages to appeal to a different crowd to its cousin – the Volkswagen Golf – and confidently strides its own path.
Who makes up the ‘different crowd’ we speak of then? Well, traditionally, Seat’s products have always held great appeal to a younger audience. Seat’s design department is based in Barcelona, a city that has long been an artistic centre in the design world, enticing creative talents from all over the world. As a result, Seat’s products have this vibrant, confident and youthful vibe, more so than other cars that possess the same DNA. So, while the Leon hatchback is very similar in both size and shape to the Golf, it has a really different image and often attracts different types of people.
The Leon is available as either an estate named the ‘Sport Tourer’ or as the hatchback we have here. It has 5 doors and a 380-litre boot space, expanding to 1,210-litres when the rear seats are folded down. This makes it very versatile and a highly capable car for small families, as well as just about anybody else. The Leon has also collected a reputation for being comfortable for taller drivers over the course of its lifespan.
The Leon features a wide array of turbocharged engines from Volkswagen. The 1.4-litre petrol ‘TSI’ engine is an ever-popular choice, and the 2.0-litre TDI diesel is adored by those looking for an efficient but powerful heart to cover longer distances. Those seeking something with an element of excitement should divert their eyes towards the Cupra-tuned version of the Leon, and its potent 296bhp petrol engine.
In terms of in-car technology and infotainment, the Leon hatchback uses the same systems that appear across the Volkswagen Group, but the brand places its own spin on the software that’s used. Bluetooth, cruise control, voice control, active pedestrian safety systems, and air conditioning are all standard across the Leon range, and there’s also an options list should Synergy customers wish to tick any boxes on those desirable extras.
An excellent all-rounder available at a superb price, the Seat Leon hatchback is a worthy rival to just about any other hatchback on the market, and looks set to remain a favourite for many years to come.
