Seat Leon for Paris

Spanish carmaker Seat will launch its new Leon at next week's Paris Motor Show, writes Brian Byrne.

The 5-door version of the brand's compact hatchback is the first format of a range that will include a 3-door and an estate.

The car is roomier than its predecessor and has a substantially increased luggage capacity.

RHD versions are going on sale in March, with engines that range upwards from 99g/km in CO2 emissions.
