Seat Leon Cupra R has arrived

This latest Seat Leon Cupra R has undergone a number of bespoke styling modifications, inside and out, to elevate its kerbside appeal and deliver the necessary air of exclusivity demanded by what will be an elite hot hatch.

The changes include the addition of sporty twin central exit exhaust pipes within a customised rear diffuser, discreet extended high level rear spoiler, subtle 'R' badging and the careful application of gloss black highlighting inside and out.

The interior of the Seat Leon Cupra R is equally impressive with new ebony black front seat backs with prominent 'R' logo incorporated on the seatbacks leaving no one in any doubt about the identity of this super-quick Seat.

The Seat Leon Cupra R 16V petrol engine features a new, high-pressure fuel pump injector to satisfy the greater performance demands and allow it to meet strict EU5 emissions standards while revisions to the electronic engine management system, plus increased maximum turbo pressure complete the powerplant changes beneath the Seat&rsquo s bonnet.

The Seat Leon Cupra R is by all means a very good car, the speed handling and drive is one which will put a smile on the face of even the most aggressive drivers while having a price bracket which is very competitive for the market.
