2017 Seat Leon Cupra
It is nonsense to tell the GTI fans that they should be strong with the appearance of the new Seat Leon Cupra. If you pay about 1,500 euros less for the GTI Performance, then you get with the GTI 41 kW (55 hp) less
power, but up to 4300 rpm only 10 Nm less torque. So, if you're not turning the engine all the time, you'll notice 3 percent less torque and performance, almost nothing.
| Old Golf-R Variant approx. 5,000 euros more expensive. |
In contrast to Seat, VW makes it possible to buy a seven- instead of six-speed DSG, although for 2,000 instead of 1,700 euros extra. The new Golf R as a competitor will probably be more expensive, must be with
another 7 kW (10 HP) more. And with a phenomenal all-wheel drive, from which Seat gets only the simpler version, strangely only for the ST version and then only with DSG.
Performance Package
Michelin Cup 2 (same dimensions)
Bremo-calipers,
drilled disks |
After all, this Seat is one of the top products of the company. Actually, all extras should also be included. Not at all, extras for 10,000 euros additional with the five-door ST are offered. So this Seat already reaches the
50,000 euros limit. The fact that the Leon Cupra has finally grown up is more noticeable in the interior. Instead of striking red, there are white decorative stitching on the steering wheel. Especially the with Alcantara and
Carbon
refined ambience pleases, perhaps together with the performance seats.
| Design to the predecessor not significantly changed. |
Much more important than decorative ornamentation is the adjustability of the suspension. There is after all still the usual car ride, in which a too much hardnes could disturb, like the FR suspension of Seat. This can
be avoided now
with the adjustability of the damping system and at the same time other parameters for motor and even double-clutch transmission, if chosen. Also ESP can be partially and obviously also completely switched off.
And the best news, all as standard. 03/15
