SEAT Leon e-Hybrid Sportstourer PHEV | Amazing value!

Had the 21 plate (uk) FR for two years now.

To sum it up in one word would be..........SHIT!!!!!

Come to the states please

That is the same car that was reviewed by cars ireland 😂😂

Is the motor before or after the gearbox? As in, do the gears change when it's purely in electric mode?

The Skoda Octavia is a better car as the interior is much better

The R-lines are always more expensive. What price is the normal trim?

The trunk though is only 470 liters in this PHEV.

Hey DAD, good review.

Great review!

Excellent car. The one thing I’ve really noticed compared to its VW and Skoda cousins, is that SEAT have take it or leave it trim levels these days. Whereas the cousins can be far more customised. Shame really as I like SEATs but I like my extras too.

Another good, thorough review 👍

I have the same Leon with Xcellence trim. My record is 92 km on a single charge. On summer the average was 70-80 km. Now on autumn 60-70 km. 15 thousand km behind and average consumption is 0.3 l/100 km. Quite satisfied with Leon.

thanks for the review, I just did online price configuration on the Seat website and the FR PHEV Tourer is priced at €37k

Us Dads are cool though,so by default then this is a cool car if it’s a “Dad” car…😜

Great review Nobby tho' I think the diesel one would be more applicable for my needs as plug in hybrids are no good for the motorway. I'd be interested to see tho' if there are anyone who has driven one for a week on a similar motorway journey ie 70 miles return every day and charging it every day to see what figures economy wise they'd be getting.

I have a 211 Tarraco FR and cant agree more about the steering wheel, I love the interior in general of the current Seats. Seriously considering upgrading my runaround (fiesta ecoboost) to the Lean

Good review but I think I must be alone with climate control - I literally change it twice a year - 19C in Summer, 21C in winter - I just let it sort it’s self out - surely that’s the whole point of it!

Great review, lovely car. Harder plastics I think take away from it a bit on the inside but it looks great. I love a practical all round car that can do a bit of everything. Great car for IKEA trip etc...

Does the Kia Ceed Estate PHEV compare well? The price was €31000 after grants although the €5000 grant is removed now (is that right?).

Renault megane for me better looking inside and out

Very practical car, I'm waiting for my regular petrol eTSI and don't care for SUVs at all just a lot of extra weight and lower mpg it's a transportation device and not a fashion accesoire imho looks better than the Golf though

We have the regular 1.5eTsi sportstourer with DCC...seats are very comfy imho its not very quite unfortunately and has lots of road noise, even with 17" wheels. Also the front axle makes a very unsatisfying rumble over wavy surfaces. Something I did not expect, even in a lower tier brand. BTW the regular sportstourer has 620 L volume, but only in the low setting of the loading floor. This isn't possible in the hybrid...this has probably less than 500 litres.

It is a very good car. I think the estate looks great. seat do much better cars in general than VAG.

Ideal car for a family,were the driver lives 20 or so kilometres from the office in a city centre and has a drive way at home 👍

I'd love to know how long a charge lasts in hybrid mode. I've read Mk7.5 GTE owners can get charge per tank of fuel. People only ever seem to drive them in EV mode, charge daily etc. At that rate just get an EV surely? I'm more interested in hybrid mode.

An estate car....I remember them 😃

First.....channel for great reviews.

Shame its more estate than hatchback
