SEAT has just launched a new, reworked version of its popular Leon. "You might even say that we've tucked the Ateca inside the Leon", said SEAT Vice-president for R&D Matthias Rabe.
Designed, developed and produced in their Martorell facility in Barcelona, nearly two million Leon vehicles have been sold since its launch in 1999. And 2016 was the model's best year with the highest sales figure in its history. This new version of the third-generation SEAT Leon has a developed exterior design and an advance in the technology featured on the previous version.
Sales of the SEAT Leon exceeded the figures for the Ibiza for the first time in 2014, pointing to the fact that the Leon is the company's second pillar and has enabled it to explore new segments. A case in point is that the brand's first SUV, the SEAT Ateca, made its appearance in 2016.
