About SEAT LEÓN

The Seat Leon (León in Spain, which means “lion”) is a hatchback compact car (C-segment in Europe) by the Spanish brand Seat and manufactured by Volkswagen Group. It is built on the VAG Group’s MQB platform, so it shares many components with the Audi A3 and the Volkswagen Golf or the Skoda Octavia.

The Leon was born as a hatchback version of the Seat Toledo from 1998, a reverse of what happened with the Volkswagen Golf. This model was a complete sales success for the Spanish brand, to the point that the Leon began to displace the Toledo until the brand opted to remove it from its product line.

The Seat Leon competes with many equivalent compact cars in the C-segment. These include the Opel Astra, Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Peugeot 308, Toyota Corolla and Renault Megane among many others. This car has 4 generations to date. There is a premium sports version called Cupra Leon.
