Sensationa­l specificat­ion as standard

These options include two petrol engine choices in the 1.0 TSI 110hp and a 1.5 TSI 150hp; the two Diesel options include a 2.0 TDI 115hp and a 2.0 TDI 150hp DSG; and new to the range, the mild hybrid electric vehicle engine (eTSI) available in a 1.5 eTSI 150 DSG.

This all- new Leon comes with a host of features as standard, such as 16” alloy wheels, an 8” media system and SEAT Connect. As well as this a number of safety items will also come as standard on the Leon range including adaptive cruise control, light assist (headbeam assist) and fatigue detection.

The Xcellence and FR trims offer customers even more additional features as standard with 17” alloy wheels on Xcellence and 18” allow wheels on FR, a full digital cockpit, full LED lights, coast to coast rear lights, wrap around interior lighting, a connectivi­ty box and much more. Packaged to perfection

The all-new SEAT Leon uses the advanced MQB Evo platform as its foundation to maximise the key elements that make it one of the most practical options in the market. Inside, thanks to increased overall vehicle dimensions, all aspects have been designed to be ergonomica­lly precise, increasing interior space for rear occupants, while load space is improved (for the Sportstour­er version) over the previous generation, making it an even more practical choice.

The safest SEAT ever made The fourth generation of the SEAT Leon is the safest vehicle the brand has ever developed, thanks in particular, to the integratio­n of a state-of-the-art suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

The vehicle’s systems are always alert and monitor the car’s environmen­t with images and data gathered by a camera, as well as ultrasonic and radar sensors. Thanks to this system, the new SEAT Leon can react when facing obstacles on the road or sudden movements of other drivers, and provide effective driver assistance when necessary, alerting drivers to a dangerous situation or minimising the risk or consequenc­es of an accident.

Connectivi­ty: The brand’s first fully connected vehicle

The all-new SEAT Leon is the brand’s first fully connected car and will now offer connectivi­ty with Full Link - Android Auto and also wireless access to Apple’s CarPlay and online infotainme­nt and soon this new model will offer in car apps that expand and improve the customer’s driving experience.

The built-in eSIM also means that the SEAT Leon benefits from the eCall services, which directly contacts emergency services should an incident occur, adding yet another level of safety to the vehicle.

Once outside the vehicle, thanks to the SEAT Connect app, users can remotely access their vehicle’s data: driving data, parking position, vehicle’s status, including doors and lights, set up speed alerts so you can be warned if someone using your vehicles is driving too quickly, area and anti-theft alerts, open and close the doors with the remote lock and unlock service, or can remotely activate the horn and turn signals to find the car more easily.

Niall Phillips, Brand Director at SEAT Ireland commented, “We are very excited to welcome the all-new SEAT Leon to Ireland. The Leon is a firm favourite among Irish customers and we are confident that they will love the fourth generation even more.

The new Leon will be available to order from Monday 8th June from dealership­s nationwide. For further informatio­n, contact your local authorised SEAT dealership or visit www.seat.ie.
