The new VW Golf does not have this function, which is strange.
The new SEAT Leon is out. It’s undoubtedly the most technologically advanced, connected, and safest vehicle that the company has ever produced. The new version of the automaker’s most popular vehicle is proving to be a huge success. It features a variety of safety and driver assistance system options, and an advanced ambient lighting system that is not available in the mechanically related new Volkswagen Golf or Skoda Octavia.
The photo at the top shows the location where the driver’s side door of the new León (assuming it is an LHD vehicle), meets the dashboard and A-pillar. The ambient light strip covers the entire width and extends through the doors to create a stunning wraparound effect.
It’s more than an ambient light. The yellow strip acts as an indicator for certain car assist functions such as blind spot detection, lane changing assist and exit help. Neat!
It is important to mention that smart ambient lighting is standard in the Xcellence trim to give the Leon’s cabin a unique personality. SEAT explains how the lighting arc changes color according to the need. If you start the engine from scratch, the lighting arc will be more gentle. However, switching to Sport mode will give you brighter colors.
