Seat Leon facelift: New tech and limited options revealed

The fourth generation of the Leon has recently undergone a cosmetic facelift. Those interested in the refreshed compact from Spain can already place their orders, but they must be content with a limited offer.

Like other compacts from the Volkswagen group, the Leon has received a refreshed edition. The changes are mainly cosmetic and include updated multimedia options and a modified range of drives. Inside the vehicle are two newly designed interfaces featuring 10.4-inch and 12.9-inch infotainment systems. Drivers also have the option of wireless charging for mobile devices with a 15W charger.

There will be as many as seven drive options, including gasoline engines, diesels, and plug-in hybrids. However, customers must now be satisfied with only three of them. Details can be found below.

    
• 1.5 TSI 150 HP M6 - from $27,000
• 1.5 eTSI 150 HP DSG MHEV - from $30,000
• 2.0 TDI CR 150 HP DSG - from $33,000

It is worth noting that the prices of the gasoline versions refer to the hatchback variant. The Sportstourer requires an additional payment of $700. On the other hand, the diesel is paired exclusively with the Sportstourer body - at least for now.

The list of trim versions also seems very limited. Customers interested in the facelifted Leon have only two variants to choose from.

Style - from $27,000 - standard features include cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, front and lane assist systems, three-zone automatic climate control, virtual cockpit, keyless entry, multimedia system with a 10.4-inch screen, LED lights, and 16-inch alloy wheels.

FR—from $28,000—additionally includes active ACC cruise control, driving profile selection, LED fog lights, an FR styling package, 17-inch alloy wheels, sport seats, and ambient interior lighting.
