[@liberfarb]

Hi Thomas , now that you drove the new seat leon and the new golf 8 . Which car would you choose if you needed to buy a new car nowdays? By the way may i ask which car you drive ? Thank you in advance :)

[@dr-ok3sn]

who needs the golf anymore? this is the same car, a lil bit cheaper and much better looking🤷🏼‍♂️

[@pershooo]

Or you could have a Octavia, which is also cheaper, better looking and bigger.

[@dr-ok3sn]

Pershoo but the Leon Estate is now bigger then the Octavia

[@ClaireYunFarronXIII]

But does it drive better for my taste? That is my main concern. If not, I'll buy the Golf.

[@dr-ok3sn]

Lightning Farron seriously? they are the exact same car, just different designed, so they drive the same depending on the suspension you’re choosing

[@pershooo]

@@dr-ok3sn That is not true. The Octavia is still bigger.

The very first review of the new leon on the open world! Congrats.

[@JJTURK]

SEAT's progress in recent years has been incredible. This car is as good as Golf, if not better. Yes.

[@disadadi8958]

I think the Golf feels a bit more higher quality inside. Materials and noise levels are better, the suspension I like more. I don't have the sportier suspension of FR model, but it's still tougher. Also it makes a bit of weird sounds like squeaks and creaks during drive, Golf has none of that. For the price though, I don't think it's a bad car at all.

As ever, a very thorough, clear and informative review, Thomas. I like it how you always keep your reviews very factual, too many journalists in the UK think that they’re also comedians. They’re not! So thank you! I’m a big fan of the Leon, I have a 2016 Leon ST and plan to replace it in 2 years’ time with either new Leon or new Octavia; I’m keen to see how you think they compare

@@phoenix1453 I'd rather drive a Seat than a BMW. BMW is the car for old chaps, or the old models go for young dickheads. I'd rather not drive one. Also there's no reason to pay extra for the brand, it doesn't feel any more premium than other cars in the same size group, although BMW is undoubtedly more expensive.

I'm with you on the physical buttons. I find myself reaching for the volume knob of the radio, or climate control buttons, while I have the speech control, touch screen and buttons on the steering wheel also. It's just a more natural feel

Thomas, regarding lane assist option. You need to activate additional dynamic option to enjoy what you want to achieve - to keep auto between two lines without floating from line to line.

[@proboxpepper6752]

Very efficient car, we had a 2021 Leon FR 1.5 eTSI as a rental for 4 days, 4 people with luggages, averaged 6.22L/100km in Scottish highlands with mountain passes!

[@dragospahontu]

Is it reliable?

[@lepe]

As a Leon FR 2.0 2019 owner these are my impressions of the new design: - Front looks better, the grill and front bumper make the car seem more "muscular". - Rear looks worse, the shape up top makes it look like a crossover rather than a sporty hatchback, and the fake exhaust tips are just blah. - The interior looks more modern, though sticking a tablet in the center console makes it seem like an afterthought in the design. AC vents look much better - These weird touch buttons for the vents and fans seem less practical and harder to use while driving.

[@felfel7510]

Couldn’t have said it better, it is more of a crossover than a sporty hatch now, and why is the FR trim looking so vanilla now ?

[@pietvelkens219]

That rear is horrible, with the fake exhausts, the comic sans font on "leon". Enough reason not to buy it.

[@lepe]

The front looks good, the rear looks good, the side profile is the weak spot of the Leon.

[@mikewestwood567]

I had the Sport Tourer version of this car as a holiday rental. The Lane keep assist was so annoying as it was constantly complaining for no reason. The infotainment wasn’t great either and I really wish they had a drive select button as I was having to go into the display while driving which isn’t safe. Also found the trip computer difficult to activate and use. Took me ages. Other than that it was a good drive and I found the fuel economy of the hybrid power train very good.

[@crospotter13]

Hahaha Autogefuhl fake exhaust police - had me laughing! Love the looks of Leon, shame about multilink not available on 150 PS versions. Love the design overall especially the rear. Interesting thing about the LEON lettering at the back - they had 40 different sytles and in the end opted for this one. Not a huge fan of it but maybe we'll get used to it. Cheers Thomas and the whole team

[@RobertOw83]

I have the previous gen and regrettably won't be staying with the new Leon. Niether the interior or exterior do it for me and that entertainment unit/lack of physical controls is a major drawback for me. SEAT as a brand has been great but the overall homogenizing look and feel of VWG cars just doesn't cut it any more for me.

[@lkfldfadf]

Owen Roberts what are you going for then?

[@RobertOw83]

@@lkfldfadf well, it was going the be an A Class, love the new A class. But, now, more than likely a Kona EV as due to mobility issues and other things, it's easier to get in/out of (and cheaper) to go for the Hynudai.

[@YasumotoUS]

The lack of buttons and knobs is disturbing, but I am not surprised as control surfaces have been trending this way. We won't see this model in the USA, but the GTI will be sold here and all I see are touch surfaces. I can't imagine how these controls made it past any usability tests / reviews.

[@disadadi8958]

You can tap the temperature slider with two fingers to activate the seat heating. No need to use the screen for that.

[@emailstomarek]

Ford Focus. Drives better and has Air-conditioning knobs instead all incorporated in screen. Also bang and olufsen audio system

Well, Focus drives well but i feel more attached to Leon seats and interior - except no physical buttons for ac!

To be honest I must say that the Leon’s interior design is much better than the golfs for me

[@oscarkanal]

I don’t know how it works in the seat but in my VW Tiguan I can change how the lane assist behaves. Either with lane centering or just lane keep, with lane keep it just steers you back if you start to drive of the lane. The lane centering steers you in a natural way in the middle of the lane. Maybe it’s the same with the seat?

[@autogefuehl]

In the infotainment unit ?

[@oscarkanal]

Autogefühl Yes, under car settings. Think it’s called adaptive lane assist in the Tiguan

[@mamba101]

[@michelebicc6983]

Very in depth review as usual! I like this car, it has a more distinctive look than the Golf in my opinion. But I’m quite disappointed by the climate control without physical buttons, same for the driving modes. Even Mercedes with the MBUX still has left normal controls for A/C, driving modes and has many shortcuts with normal buttons. What about the CNG version? Does it come with 1.5 + DSG and is it going to have a multilink suspension? Thanks

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! Ur question: Yes/Dunno/No

[@michelebicc6983]

Autogefühl thanks

[@autogefuehl]

I just checked with Seat to confirm: PHEV does come with multilink! But the TGI/CNG obviously not.

[@shroomyesc]

I like the rear design and is recognizable as SEAT, however the front half is 100% current gen Ford Focus. Wouldn't be a problem but the interior is anti-user, it's terrible. Even otherwise fiddling with the touchscreen or worse the touch pads is convoluted and dangerous if driving, they are completely unusable with gloves. Shameless cost cutting.

[@tjfSIM]

SHROOMY agree with you - the front end has lost the seat design language. The edgy trapezoid headlights of the previous gen were distinctive and unique, and they should have evolved them. Instead they’ve gone for a very generic off the peg design that is reminiscent of many Japanese and Korean models. The Mitsubishi Evo certainly springs to mind. The Ford Focus lost its way in the same fashion.

[@mattimainio4807]

Put the new Leon FR on order yesterday so even before this great Thomas review. It is due to be delivered to Finland late July. The prices have gone up with the quality and assistence systems so they are quite near BMW 1 series which also drives great. I chose the new Leon based on the good experinces from the previous generation model, decent fuel economy and many maintenance options because the VW parts. Also the wide led stripe on the back is first for this price level for German manufacturers. Even the new A3 do not have it. It is good that they have made programming changes to the DSG. The previous model was quite clumsy compared eg with the new Magna transmission of the 118i BMW. There are however some downsides with the new Leon I am ready to accept. Firstly the design of the cockpit and front cabin with the non integrated center screen and Audi A3 like airvents on either side look like a product of teenage designer. Why couldn't they continue with the elegant lines of the predecessor? Secondly the front lights are not so innovative for 2020 as the old version's front LED lights were in 2012. The new full LED should have more light power. On the other hand they do not have matrix function which the Golf have available. Also the animated turning indicator is only available on the back. Something Thomas have not commented is the feeling of the brake pedal. Some media like eg the Finnish Teknavi has commented that the improved brake with storage of braking power of VW Golf feels unnatural when starting to hit the pedal for the first centimeters. I wonder would Thomas get these first driving test cars and nice test trips (when the Covid situation again allows) to Ibiza 🏖️ and other nice locations if he would be very critical on other more serious things than the fake exhausts.. (compared to the overly chrome detailed Xellence even the fake exhausts of FR look great). Also some core information is missing: Does the 1.5 eTSI still have torsion beam on the back axle. The torsion beam is very sturdy and not easy to get broken eg on road bumps. However in some situation such as tight curves it made the previous model sometimes loose the grip on winter conditions. All in all, the new Leon seems like another step up for SEAT. Interesting to see how people react to the elevated prices. Many Thanks Thomas for reviewing this car yourself! Keep up the good work!

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks for the feedback!!

[@mattimainio4807]

Thanks a lot for the information on the rear suspension. That is also a step up for this model too. Also one thing which you could do on an eventual upcoming ST version review is to tell more about the security function of the wrap around cabin led stripe. It seems quite handy that it eg blinks yellow when blind spot detection detects passing car. I think it is a big plus to more conventional solution where only a light in the side mirror indicates this. PS. Where to shop for those extremely cool NIKE sneakers shown during the back seat review..👟

[@autogefuehl]

I just re-checked: Golf and A3: 150 INCLUDING and more hp: Multilink rear axle/suspension. Leon: 150 hp still torsion, only MORE than 150 hp = Multilink. So the 1.5 TSI car here does only have torsion beam in the rear. Weird.

[@autogefuehl]

oh and these sneakers are from the factory outlet in roermond =)

[@mattimainio4807]

Thanx for the suspension update. As mentioned the torsion beam don't get broken even handled roughly.. 💣Great buys from this outlet of yours. Central and Southern Europe is better for getting good pairs of NIKEs. I good pairs with nice designs when working some months in Croatia.

Hi Autogefuhl, thanks for the great review. I'm currently looking for a new car and the Leon ST is one of the contenders.
