SEAT shows off Leon ST



This is the ST version of SEAT's current generation Leon, writes Brian Byrne. It will be on sale in Ireland for January 2014.

The first-ever estate variant of the Leon model, it offers cargo capacity of between 587-1,470 litres.

Options for the car include Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC) damper adjustment, and Progressive Steering.

Engines are the same as in the 5-door and SC versions. All have Start/Stop and Energy Recovery systems, from the 1.2 TSI petrol and 1.6 TDI diesel, right up to the most powerful 1.8 TSI and 2.0 TDI units.
