Drive away a new 25 Plate SEAT without the wait.
The SEAT Leon e-HYBRID Estate was launched in 2013, alongside the three-door SEAT Leon Hatch, and badged as the SEAT Leon ST. It joined other estate cars in the market such as the Ford Focus Estate and the Golf Estate as an excellent car for those who require more space than a hatchback or small SUV provides.
As a hybrid electric vehicle, or PHEV, the new SEAT Leon Estate offers extra power and is a cleaner engine without having to make the full switch to a pure battery electric car.
The latest SEAT Leon Estate, mirroring the sleek and stylish SEAT Leon Hatchback, boasts a range of metallic and solid paint options to suit your taste. Parkers, a renowned car reviewer, applauded its generous passenger space and impressive level of amenities, awarding it the title of "Best Medium Family Car".
Standard across the SEAT Leon Estate range are LED headlights and tail lights, complemented by LED front fog lamps with a cornering function. These features ensure exceptional visibility, even in challenging driving conditions. FR models elevate the lighting system with dynamic turn signals and LED rear fog lights with coast-to-coast lighting, further enhancing your visibility.
Keyless entry and electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors are also standard across the range, providing convenience and comfort.
For those seeking an even more enhanced driving experience, the SE Dynamic trim level offers dark tinted rear windows, 17-inch Dynamic tri-alloy wheels, and a rear view camera with front and rear parking sensors, making parking in tight spaces a breeze.
Step inside the SEAT Leon Estate and you'll find advanced technology means that you're fully equipped, even at the entry level. The 8.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system is packed with features, including Bluetooth and hands-free connectivity, wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto, and fully digital radio. To further enhance the driving experience, the SE Dynamic trim level adds four USB-C ports (two in the front and two in the rear), a front center armrest, and three-zone climate control.
For those seeking the ultimate in comfort, the top-tier FR Sport trim elevates the interior with interior wraparound lighting for a more ambient setting. It also includes heated front seats, Microsuede upholstery, a powered driver seat with memory and power lumbar adjustment, and a leather, heated steering wheel. These features come together to provide an exceptional driving experience for both driver and passengers.
The SEAT Leon Estate's boot space has been expanded by 30 liters from the previous generation, now offering a total of 617 liters. Whether you're transporting bikes, a pushchair, or your furry friend, you'll have ample room for everyone and everything your family needs.
Choosing the SEAT Leon e-HYBRID, which combines a 1.4 litre petrol engine with a 13 kWh battery, gives many e-Hybrid benefits. Power for this model tops the SEAT Leon range at 204PS, giving you more power and making this the fastest SEAT Leon currently available. It's a great option for those unsure about making the leap to a pure electric car with an electric motor.
It's also the most economical engine option available for the SEAT Leon with a combined mpg figure as high as 252.5 when utilising the electric and petrol power in hybrid mode with an all electric range of 39 miles in combined driving. City driving increases this to a 45 mile range on the electric range which would allow things like your commute or the school run to be done without dipping into petrol mode and give you emission free driving.
Whilst a Mode 2 (3-pin) and a Mode 3 (charging station) cable are included with every SEAT Leon estate e-hybrid to keep the electric mode topped up, the model also benefits from regenerative braking. Regenerative braking recharges the car in this mode whilst driving to recoup some of the energy that would otherwise be lost and reroutes it to the electric motor to be reused when you switch to only electric mode.
To recharge the battery automatically at a home wallbox charger or public charging station simply plug the cable in and it connects to the conventional power network to recharge the
Choosing a plug in hybrid Leon also has financial benefits as these are subject to a lower rate of taxation for Benefit in Kind (BIK), making them an excellent option for company car drivers, but also a lower rate of road fund licence than the equivalent model with an internal combustion engine.
