2013 Seat Leon FR design

The new Leon is also compelling for its excellent utility. It combines a more compact exterior with a more spacious interior. The premium materials and the level of craftsmanship place the Leon squarely at the forefront of the competitive field.

SEAT is sending the new Leon into battle with a series of powerful and fuel-efficient TDI and TSI engines ranging from 1.2 to 2.0 litres displacement. All engines feature direct injection and turbocharging; they have been engineered for low internal friction and fast warm-up. Compared with their respective predecessors, their fuel consumption is down by up to 22 percent.

The 1.6 TDI generates 77 kW (105 hp) and 250 Nm of torque. In the Ecomotive version with start/stop system and recuperation, it consumes just 3.8 litres of diesel per 100 km on the NEDC, equating to 99 grams of CO2 per km. The extensively reengineered 2.0 TDI consumes an average of just 4.0 litres of fuel per 100 km in the Ecomotive version. With 110 kW (150 hp) and 320 Nm of torque, it is a powerful driving force for the Leon.

SEAT will rapidly expand the engine line-up. Early 2013 will see the arrival of the 1.2 TSI in two versions with 63 kW (86 hp) and 77 kW (105 hp), a 1.4 TSI with 90 kW (122 hp) and, at the top of the petrol range, a 1.8 TSI with 132 kW (180 hp) and a combination of direct and manifold injection. The diesel line-up will be augmented by the 1.6 TDI with 66 kW (90 hp) and the new top TDI -- the 2.0 TDI with 135 kW (184 hp). It delivers a maximum torque of 380 Newton metres.

Depending on the engine, transmission options range from five- and six-speed manual gearboxes or the renowned six- and seven-speed DSG dual-clutch gearboxes.

E X C E L L E N T ! Nice work. Congrats to the Seat design team. That's what I call a proper evolution of the Leon model.

[tjfSIM]

The sharpest looking car in its class, by miles!

[koukosdreamer]

Great! far more sporty and prettier than the old one!

[ROMANERUIZA]

No matter what they say, this is a big Ibiza with nice equipment.

I don't like seats but this one looks stylish. It also has a very efficient engine option which I like the most 2.0 TDI 184hp- 380nm torque. I'm sure it would be fun to drive and I also like the song. Good job VW. :) Have a great day everyone.

Looks pretty nice. What's the name of the song/artist?

[ricktonge]

This is essentially a sharper looking Audi A3/Golf. I can spec a fully loaded Leon FR TDi 185PS for much less. Those LED headlamps just do it for me! When I come to re-new my company car, I will be swapping my VW Sirocco for one of these I think.

When I saw in the Internet "The New 2013 Leon", and then i saw the picture, i thought that it was an editor error, that he had put a Restyled Ibiza photo instead of the New Leon picture. I am a guy that can distinguish very well every model even just by the headlights. Seat, this is a beautiful car, but are you in a No-inpiration period?
You could take this project and the so reputed Leon name to make a car that really deserve that name. Most of people, wont distinguish this from an Ibiza.

[KonstantinosKappa]

well I never saw an ibiza like this mate ;)

[RazvanHDdify]

vw group FTW! german style like a boss:D

[dryesman]

[tomwrocpl]

Szkoda, że nie pokazali ujęcia każdej śrubki z osobna!! Prezentacja co najmniej irytująca! Auto fajne :)

[MrAyala]

tenho o modelo anterior e acho que a seat nao teve feliz com este novo apenas esticaram o ibiza...que falta de imaginação!!!

[HereOrDer]

Audi A3 Head & Tail Lights copy? hehe Nice regardless!

[MyFavoriteDisease]

At least some aggressive looking lights, but the overall shape of the car still says "I'm off to buy diapers and afterwards I'll wash the dishes and clean the floor." Still a pathetic legacy to the wonderful Leon 1M.

[katsumoto]

it might look like an Ibiza from the outside(a bit bcoz of the front light) but plz, don't compare the inside, the ibiza is like a dacia inside..

[jackd]

Great looking car. Looks classy, the old leon looked a bit cheap and i'm going to say a bit chavy!

Chi oggi compra un'auto del genere fa un investito che non si pentirà nel tempo perché compra un'auto al 100 % tedesca fatta bene innovativa con tanta tecnologia che non guasta, la mia preferita e la 2.0 CR 184 cv start e stop versione FR ehhh bomba
