DON’T THINK OF THE LEON AS A RESKINNED GOLF GTI, IT IS MUCH MORE THAN THAT WITH A UNIQUE PERSONALITY OF IT OWN
Rating 5.0
ENGINE 1984cc I4, DOHC, 16v, turbo
POWER 221kW @5300rpm
TORQUE 400Nm @2000-5500rpm
0-100KM/H 5.7sec (claimed)
WEIGHT 1503kg • PRICE $64,990
LIKE: Slick interior; sharp turn-in; power down ability; expansive power band
DISLIKE: Late to an already crowded party; this or a Golf R?
AUSTRALIANS HAVE BEEN spoilt for choice in the hot hatch market for some time, but now there is a new player in town with the Cupra Leon launching locally in the coming months.
