What is the difference between a Cupra Leon and a Seat Leon?
Cupra is Seat's sporty brand. The Cupra Leon uses the same body and cabin layout as the Seat Leon but adds bolder styling, sports seats, copper-coloured details and a more focused driving setup. The engine range starts with the same 1.5 petrol but goes much further, up to a 300 horsepower hot hatch.
Is the Cupra Leon expensive to run?
It depends on the engine. The 1.5 petrol is no dearer to run than a normal family hatchback. The plug-in hybrid can be very cheap if you charge at home and do short trips, and it sits in a low tax band. The 2.0 petrol versions use more fuel and cost more to insure, as you would expect from a performance car.
Is the Cupra Leon reliable?
The Cupra Leon shares its engines and gearboxes with the Volkswagen Golf and Seat Leon, so it is well proven and parts are easy to come by. On plug-in hybrids, check the battery charges fully. On automatics, make sure gear changes are smooth from cold. A full service history matters more than usual on the more powerful versions.
