SEAT has won three awards at the Auto Express New Car Awards in the UK, writes Trish Whelan.
The Leon secured best compact family car of the year with the Leon ST collecting the prize for best estate car. The Leon Cupra (pictured) completed the Spanish brand's hat-trick of awards claiming top spot for the best hot hatch.
Commenting on the wins, Neil Dalton, Head of Marketing and Product at SEAT Ireland said "Out consistent commitment to product development is continuing to pay dividends for the brand." SEAT will introduce the all-new 4WD SEAT Leon X-Perience later this year.
