SEATLeon 2000 - 2006

　　A cross between a coupe and a hatchback, the new Leon was introduced in 1991.

　　The sporty exterior design was given by the muscular rear end with the rear spoiler. At the front, the narrow headlights completed the aggressive appearance.

　　Quite unusual for Seat, the Leon was the fastest car in its class in production at the time, featuring a powerful engine that developed 180 hp. The power was sent to all four wheels through a 6-speed gearbox. This model was not available on all markets.

　　The four-wheel-drive version available on specific markets featured a Haldex rear-wheel system that electronically measured the amount of torque distributed to the rear wheels, connecting both axles when required depending on the weather conditions.

　　With a wide range of engines available, the buyers could choose between 7 options: 3 diesel and 4 gasoline units.

　　For 2000, the Leon was available in three trim levels, with the range topping version featuring a lower chassis, bigger alloys and even sport seats.

　　While the interior was rather dull, everything was well laid out and the quality of the materials used throughout the cabin was superb.

　　Besides numerous options available, the Leon could be further personalised with a variety of exterior paint colors available, 14 in total. 3 interior finishes were also available.

　　The Seat Leon was still a practical vehicle for daily driving, while still offered a fun ride with its punchy engines.
