Seat Leon SC 1,8 TSI - acceleration 0-225 km/h, Vmax test and more

Very good acceleration and top speed, but really awesome agility in low and middle revs. See all the accelerations on individual gears. This car (weights just 1 232 kg) is capable to go from 50 to 200 km/h on 7th gear under 50 seconds. Much better than in the first review, maybe some new setup for the serial production. This car is seriously claimed to be bone stock with no aftermarket mods. More at: www.Autoforum.cz/prvni-dojmy/t...

It's amazing how modern day hatchbacks can reach speeds up to 250km/h when even 15 years ago you had to own a car like a BMW M5, Mercedes AMG etc. to reach that kind of speeds.

[@mbo1071]

But in a Mercedes at 250km/h you don´t have the feeling it´s gonna fall apart....

[@thelargest7614]

That turbo whistle is addicting.

[@overdrivesdl]

I have the five door FR with this engine. Previously had an A3 1.4tfsi Sline. The 1.8tsi is simply one of the best engines available. I can easily get 50+ mpg, and measured sub 7 seconds 0-60...the manufacturer's figures are very conservative so as not to ruffle VW and Audi. I would love to see the standard 1.8tsi on a dyno. Would guess its puting out closer to 200 bhp !

[@digitalboy666]

VERY NICE VIDEO BRO!! THANK YOU

[@nikazwar]

amazing I test drove it today. Acceleration is gratifying surely feels less than 7.5sec ! I cant believe when I checked its 7.5 sec, felt like 6.5sec!! The engine train is responsive. Nice quality interior for the price. The bad side is that the traction control can't be switched off and it slows me down a lot at sharp corners. The other issue is the that the brakes and suspension/handling are not as good as CLio 197 RS

[@fe1138lix]

Yes and the GTI VII with the 6-speed manual was tested at 24,2 0-200 by AutoMotorSport who always have good numbers---

[@nikosgalina]

If this is true, this is the best engine i have ever seen at 1.8 l. . . Super fast, just magnificent, very good sound too. . .

[@gazzellonejelassi]

Skoda's weight is 1337kg vs 1232 for the Leon. And after the ECU isn't the same for Vw-Audi-Seat-Skoda. Every brand has his own custom map. Golf 7 GTI 1351kg. Colin Chapman said: Incrase horse power and you'll go faster in a straight way, take off weight and you'll go faster wherever you go.

[@tobiharper1855]

Right! The total distance you can only see when Cruise Control is switched off. It's down in the left then.

[@alamos8]

It has performace perfectly comparable to the 2.0TSI 200/210... wow... the weight advantage is playing nice here, and I supppose the 7-gear box helps a bit too.

[@scastle90]

To all the people saying this is chipped/remapped you're only saying that because it's probably faster than your car... I have a mk1 skoda octavia vrs with a 1.8t 180hp and I can say these 1.8tsi leons are this quick. Had one follow me along dual carriageway and it kept up easy. Also I've driven a 1.2tsi 105hp fabia and that felt like 120hp car due to the high amount of torque these tsi engines produce. They really are a great piece engineering.

[@bttawfiq]

For people saying it's fake, this car is lighter than both The VW Golf GTI and the Seat Leon Cupra and it has a different DSG transmission that's smaller and consumes less engine power, also the gears of this transmission are shorter. This is why it's faster than its 180hp would suggest

[@timturbo9373]

Idiot speaking... 1.) It has a 7-Speed DSG (DQ200) which weights almost identical (+/- 5 Kilo) to the bigger (and faster) DQ250. 2.) No DSG consumes noticable engine power. That was the case for old automatic in cars like Mercedes Benz in the 90`s. The only difference to the better and stronger DQ250 is a *bit* less consumption of *VOLTAGE* (and *NOT* engine power you dumbfuck) for the DSG oil. 3.) That car is exactly as fast as an Audi A3 1.8 TFSI in every video. Which is as fast from 100-200 as the 100 Kilograms heavier Quattro version with better DQ250 and even slower from 0-100 than that. So much for that. Now *ALL* cars in his videos go faster than stock. For example the A3 1.8 TFSI with same engine. Stock that car needs 0-160 in 16 Sec and 0-200 in 29 Seconds. In his video, and only there, it needs 14,5 (to 160) and 24,5 (to 200).... Reason 1: He drives downhill each time. Reason 2: He places a tuning box each time. Nuff said.

[@ManiPulatoR84]

Wow... I mean... if you wanna call people names, at least get your facts straight, otherwise you just might sound like an idiot yourself... Would you mind explaining to me (and to everyone else for that matter) why the DQ250 is faster than the DQ200 (given the fact the clutch actuation system -and its dynamics- is identical on both)? And about the power consumption thing: you say the DQ250 has a higher (electric) power consumption (there is no such thing as "voltage consumption") than the DQ200. Now, if it's not engine power, where exactly does that additional power needed on the DQ250 come from? Maybe the car's own electrical power system? And what exactly charges that system? You go figure the rest out by yourself, kid. By the way, a wet double clutch, as in the DQ250, is, indeed, less efficient than a dry double clutch. Not only because of the oil pump, but you also have a higher drag torque on the inactive clutch due to the oil in between the plates. That's not even insider know-how, you can read it on wiki ;) So here's a summary for you layman: in general, a wet DC system is less efficient than a dry DC system, which means you need more ENGINE POWER input for the same output. Got it? Hmm... OK, when I read your post and my answer to it, I guess it is too late, you've already managed to sound like an idiot HAHAHA :D

[@bttawfiq]

Tim Turbo Nice, very classy of you, cursing at me just to prove your point? BTW the 7-speed DSG was indeed developed to be efficient and economical thus is being used only on smaller engines in the VW/Audi lineup, you don't believe me? ask them yourself!

[@Sgoasjdjasdkasd]

I made a 0-100 video of my 100% stock 1.8 tsi with DSG. It is as quick as in this videos here ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHTOeIdmnbCiqdk

[@UnknownGamer0604]

@Spongebob Schwanzkopf i timed it and he done 0-200 in 23.3 seconds so you cant really talk

[@tobiharper1855]

The TSI engines are all great working. I just got 1.4l with 122PS - but MUCH faster than e.g. Grande Punto T-Jet with 1.4l 120PS. At 140km/h I lost him behind me. Till 140km/h I got 20, 30m in front ;-) So it feels like even more than 122 / 180 PS. Turbo works well.

Guys, this is true! I have skoda octavia 2 after facelift with 1.8 TSI (160hp) and i didnt have problem reach 200km/h on highway with 5 people(with me) and 5 tires in the back, I was little bit slower... few seconds... 1.8 TFSI engines are amazing! avarege fuel in the city? Now in the winter with winter tires between 8-8,5L... not bad i think :P

[@tobiharper1855]

500km is just the actual trip. The total distance is down on the left side, but you can just see it when cruise Control is switched off.

[@Digi20]

that looks almost too good to be true, but i drove the first version of that engine in an audi a4 once...and i was particularly impressed with the pulling power from from just above idle-rpm. the new engine here has even more torque and the leon is what...about 300kg? lighter than the a4....hm maybe its true after all, seems to be a perfect car-engine-transmission match.

[@ronemcers8570]

I have to admit that this is the best engine what you can get in car like octavia/leon. Maybe it has same torque like 1,4tsi, but it pulls in higher rpms like naturally aspirated engine. Overall fuel consumption is great as well. About 6,5L/100km.

[@0thereaper0]

I rented this car for a week. I can really confirm it is suprisingly fast. I reached 215 km/h with it on the german Autobahn. Acceleration is beastly and the car looks real nice on the outside. Later I rented a car from the same category, a Nissan Pulsar, and it suffered so much in order to reach 200hm/h, I could feel it was much less powerful than Leon.

[@JeanV1986]

0thereaper0 You mean the 1.2 petrol engine??

[@0thereaper0]

Jean V Sorry, I don't know exactly about this detail. Probably it was a TSI 1.2 or 1.4, but gasoline for sure

[@JeanV1986]

0thereaper0 There is only a 1.2 turbocharged petrol, making 115 hp. You cannot compare this Seat with 1.8, 180 hp to a 1.2, 115 hp. Not the same category.

[@0thereaper0]

Jean V I know 1.8 is supposed to be more powerful than 1.2 and that they are in different categories, but they are still the same car and use the same technology. So yeah, I can say that Leon is surprisingly fast for its technical details, whether it is 1.2 or 1.8.

[@0thereaper0]

Jean V And why are you so sure there isn't a 1.4 TSI version? Have you even checked this information?

the new 1.8 tfsi gives 195 ps and 269 nm of torque.there was a dyno done in the uk

[@overdrivesdl]

That is correct. I also saw another dyno test in Germany which measured 197 ps and 280 Nm. This confirms the reason why this car is a lot quicker than expected. Combined with the weight reduction of the new MQB platform this provides amazing performance and economy. I know this as I have one. Best car I have had by a long way, my last two cars were Audis.

+Lacko011 I've read in some reviews that you can get as low as 6 l/100km at highway speeds and a liter less at legal speeds in local roads (90-100 km/h). All of the reviewers talk very positively about its consumptions, which are very low for a gasoline engine of that size (1.8 liters) and power.

[@ZEZ633]

+trance former thanks! i hope this stays also with the polo gti that has 1.8 petrol engine

[@tranceformer6635]

Lacko011 I was the owner of a 1.8 Nissan Almera with 116hp and I it had worse mileage than this 1.8 180hp so I think you can't go wrong :) Of course you'd get even lower figures with the diesel version (possibly 2l/100 less) but then you wouldn't enjoy a gasoline engine with the nice sound and great sensations when revving :)

[@ZEZ633]

+trance former i hear you. Now i have 1.6 diesel 90 hp, its ok engine but i want more power. so i am looking something like gti or gtd. the only worry is maintenance breaks, disks...

[@tranceformer6635]

If you like powerful diesels, there is a 184hp diesel version of this car. I now own a Peugeot 308 ehdi 115hp diesel (I have to travel long distances) which has awesome mileage (5 l. combined - can do less than 4 on local roads) but I'm thinking of buying a second car because I enjoy so much more the sounds and sensations of gasoline cars

sky Usually in a Manual Transmission car or in some Automatic Transmission, you're able to rev the engine while stopped to the red line, but cars like Audi Q3, A3, Seat Leon don't allow it, and the revs stops at 4000 RPM, it is something good because it prevents you from overheating the Engine. hope this works :)
