At Martorell, Leon's fourth generation, they thought of it as the most tech ever. In the intentions of the car manufacturer in Barcelona, the new version of the successful 'media' was also born with another goal, namely to move the bar towards the other and to insert the brand by right in the comparison with other premium brands. "Leon is an important machine - said Pierantonio Vianello, director of Seat Italia - also because it has always anticipated Seat's technology. For example, it was the first to adopt full LED, as the first to adopt touch screen technology. the fourth generation of Leon is the first fully connected and it is time to start comparing it with other premium brands which in Italy it is still difficult to work with alongside Seat ". The growth of the Spanish house from various points of view is in fact a bit what the new Leon, with its youngest customer base in comparison with its competitors in the category of compact C-segment sedans, represents for the house of Martorell. The protagonist of the new project is the theme 'light', not only for the inspiration for the colors of Barcelona that have been guiding the Spanish house for some time, but also from a technological point of view. Lighting technology is one of the strengths behind Leon's development, thanks to the integration of some of the car's innovative safety features in the lighting system. This is the case, for example, in the case of the wraparound ambient light system 'Smart wraparound' which is not only a decorative element but also provides a series of safety-related functions such as the detection of blind spots or assistance when exiting the car. , for 'coast-to-coast' rear lights, dynamic rear direction indicators and full LED headlights.
On the engine side, the new SEAT Leon is the brand's first model to offer five different propulsion technologies. The range of engines includes petrol, Diesel, mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid and natural gas variants coming soon. In total, 11 different mechanical variants are available for the new Leon, with a power output ranging from 90 HP, with the 1.0 TSI, to the 204 HP SEAT Leon plug-in hybrid. With the Drive Profile (available as standard in the FR version), the new SEAT Leon also allows the choice between different driving modes such as Eco, Normal, Comfort and Sport, in addition to the individual mode, which allows you to adapt the car to your needs . Connectivity was also given priority during the planning phase. The new Leon is the brand's first fully connected car, capable of connectivity via Full Link (with Android Auto and wireless access to Apple CarPlay), online infotainment and applications that will be available in the near future. Thanks to the Seat Connect app, downloadable on their mobile devices, a new world opens up for customers of the Spanish brand, with the ability to remotely control multiple functions of the car. The heart of Leon's system is represented by the Digital Cockpit, which includes 10.25 "high resolution instrumentation and an intuitive and easily programmable infotainment system according to your needs and preferences.
