This is what SEAT tries to conceal with its camouflaged prototypes.
SEAT is currently testing the next-generation León. We’ve spied several prototypes to get a good idea of the vehicle’s form. You can see the results of our talented artists stripping the camouflage from the trial vehicles in the gallery below.
We will be dealing with one the most beautiful cars on the European market if the rendering is accurate. The new Leon should have a more mature, dynamic appearance thanks to its longer wheelbase and shorter overhangs. There will also be significantly more space inside the cabin. You get a solid all-rounder with many customization options and the latest technologies. Ford Focus And Volkswagen Golf competitor.
The brand’s first hybrid model, the new Leon, will be able to pilot SEAT’s electrified push. Although it won’t be setting new standards, the vehicle will be able travel 31 miles (50 km) using only electric energy before the ICE kicks into effect. Although it isn’t a huge number in the industry this should be sufficient for most drivers, as the Leon is primarily a city vehicle.
SEAT will sell the hatchback with traditional gasoline or diesel engines. They should all be turbocharged, and meet the strictest emission standards in Europe.
SEAT will preview next year’s Leon with a concept at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019. The production version should be available later in the year, possibly at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. It is unlikely that the Spanish automaker will sell it as a three door hatch because demand is low for such vehicles. However, some reports suggest that a Leon-based crossover might be in the future.
