The new SEAT Leon: where design meets technology

Martorell, 16.07.2012 – The new SEAT Leon is a powerful and emotional personality, and the most beautiful way to drive a functional car. The Leon has been completely redesigned from the ground up and is packed full of high-end technologies – in its driving assistance systems, in infotainment, in its chassis and drive. The engines combine powerful dynamics with outstanding efficiency.

The availability of full-LED headlamps on the new Leon is a pioneering move by SEAT; being the first to offer this innovation in the mid-size segment. This technology combines stunning design with exceptional illumination.

“The new Leon condenses all the strengths of the SEAT brand more than ever before. It is a car with sporting character and wide-ranging strengths. It brings quality and technologies from the full-size class into the compact segment. The Leon is a decisive step in SEAT’s brand and growth strategy. It will be launched towards the end of this year as a five-door and will subsequently grow with further variants into a fully-fledged family” says James Muir, President of SEAT S.A.

The new Leon is also compelling for its excellent utility. It combines a more compact exterior with a more spacious interior. The premium materials and the level of craftsmanship place the Leon squarely at the forefront of the competitive field.

Every power unit is among best-in-class for efficiency and emissions. The highlight here is the Leon 1.6 TDI with start/stop system. It has an average fuel consumption of just 3.8 litres per 100 kilometres and an estimated CO2 figure of just 99 grams.

“The new Leon is an all-new car and opens a new chapter for SEAT. It combines SEAT's dynamic new design language with the latest technology. Fine details and precise design, especially in the interior, reflect the high standard of craftsmanship of the new Leon,” explains Dr. Matthias Rabe, Vice-President of Research and Development for SEAT S.A.

Dr. Rabe added: “Built on the Volkswagen Group’s MQB shared architecture which benefits from systematic lightweight design, the new Leon offers an impressive performance, with low C02 emissions and fuel consumption. In summary, the new Leon provides emotional driving fun, excellent efficiency, a stunning design and a high degree of utility.”

Design – simply stunning

“Thanks to its dynamic and assured character, the new SEAT Leon inspires self-confident stance. It has a decisive look,” says Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos, Head of SEAT Design. “It keeps a high degree of formal beauty and sportiness.”

He adds: “It has extremely well proportioned volumes, with a slight shift of the visual weight of the cabin over the rear wheels, while keeping a very fluid transition between the front fender and the cabin. The surfaces have been severely sculpted all around in order to increase its tridimensional appeal, thanks to the effects of light and shadow. Its character lines show pure assertiveness, like for instance the outer shape of the head lamps and tail lamps. All in all, I strongly believe that the new Leon is full of character.”

At 4.26 metres long, the new Leon is around five centimetres shorter than its predecessor, yet the wheelbase is up by almost six centimetres. This clever packaging enables short overhangs and enhances the strong visual presence of the wheels, while giving practical benefits such as improved interior space, particularly for rear seat passengers, as well as in the luggage compartment.

The angular line of the headlamps is a typical feature of the new SEAT design language, while also being perfectly integrated into the Leon’s sculptural form. Full-LED lights are available for the first time in the compact class. The new headlamps give an unmistakable look to the front end of the Leon. Additionally, the new Leon now has a distinctive signature appearance thanks to the fitment of LED daytimerunning lights.

From the side, the new SEAT Leon looks like a precisely executed sculpture on wheels. The characteristic, unbroken “Línea Dinámica” runs rearwards over the wheel arches. It is reminiscent of the tension of a well-trained muscle. The trapezoidal C-pillars are characteristic to the Leon, as are the short, upwards-pointing third windows.

The rear end of the new SEAT Leon has been intensively modelled; the large logo serves as an opener for the rear hatch. The slightly wedge-shaped rear light clusters underscore the breadth and are also available in LED technology.

The interior – comfortable and premium

The elegant exterior design of the new Leon continues into the interior, which has a clear, light and uncluttered look. The dashboard is unconventional and elegant, with a two-tone design that makes it appear to float in mid-air. Fine details underscore the Leon’s high standard of craftsmanship – details such as the large air vents, the controls for the air conditioning and the three-dimensional form of the trim elements. The luggage compartment has a volume of 380 litres, around 40 litres more than the preceding model.

Describing the interior, Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos, Head of SEAT Design, said: “We set ourselves the objective of developing an interior which would give an expressive, elegant and welcoming ambience. The quality of the material, the fit and finish and the attention to details is at least as good as you can find in the segment above.”

“The design of the dashboard respects our new interior philosophy, with a strong driver orientation. This enhances the ergonomics while giving the design an attractive, sporty feeling. The whole has been designed so the new Leon and its driver feel as one.”

The bodyshell – lightweight and solid

The new SEAT Leon uses a new vehicle architecture that enabled development engineers to position the front axle 40 millimetres farther forward. The results are a longer wheelbase and a balanced distribution of axle load – factors that significantly benefit comfort and sporty handling.

Thanks to advanced construction techniques and the use of lightweight materials in the body’s manufacture, the overall weight has been reduced by 90 kilograms compared with the previous version.

Drive – powerful and efficient

SEAT is sending the new Leon into battle with a series of powerful and fuel-efficient TDI and TSI engines ranging from 1.2 to 2.0 litres displacement. All engines feature direct injection and turbocharging; they have been engineered for low internal friction and fast warm-up. Compared with their respective predecessors, their fuel consumption is down by up to 22 percent.

The 1.6 TDI generates 77 kW (105 hp) and 250 Nm of torque. In the Ecomotive version with start/stop system and recuperation, it consumes just 3.8 litres of diesel per 100 km on the NEDC, equating to 99 grams of CO2 per km. The extensively reengineered 2.0 TDI consumes an average of just 4.0 litres of fuel per 100 km in the Ecomotive version. With 110 kW (150 hp) and 320 Nm of torque, it is a powerful driving force for the Leon.

SEAT will rapidly expand the engine line-up. Early 2013 will see the arrival of the 1.2 TSI in two versions with 63 kW (86 hp) and 77 kW (105 hp), a 1.4 TSI with 90 kW (122 hp) and, at the top of the petrol range, a 1.8 TSI with 132 kW (180 hp) and a combination of direct and manifold injection. The diesel line-up will be augmented by the 1.6 TDI with 66 kW (90 hp) and the new top TDI – the 2.0 TDI with 135 kW (184 hp). It delivers a maximum torque of 380 Newton metres.

Depending on the engine, transmission options range from five- and six-speed manual gearboxes or the renowned six- and seven-speed DSG dual-clutch gearboxes.

The chassis – dynamics with comfort

The chassis of the new SEAT Leon scores high for its sporty and agile character. Its front suspension features a MacPherson front axle with subframe, while the rear of the new SEAT Leon features torsion beam suspension for engines up to 110 kW (150 hp). The more powerful variants use a multi-link construction that handles longitudinal and transverse loads discretely.

The new SEAT Drive Profile for the Leon FR allows the driver to vary the characteristics of the power steering, throttle control and engine sound (FR versions only) via a sound actuator – in three modes, eco, comfort and sport. There is also an individual setting to tailor the settings according to the driver’s preference.The interior ambient lighting can also be adapted, by switching the LEDs between white and red.

Infotainment – modern and flexible

In the new Leon, SEAT offers a full range of up-to-date infotainment solutions. The basis is formed by the Easy Connect operating system, which controls the entertainment and communication functions, as well as a wide array of vehicle functions, via a touch-sensitive screen in the cockpit.

The entry level is the Media System Touch – the CD radio with a card slot and four speakers in the Reference line with a 5” screen. Style and the FR come with the Media System Colour with more in-screen colours and higher quality, and featuring a CD drive and six speakers as standard (eight speakers in the FR); it connects external devices via Bluetooth, USB or aux-in. Its 5-inch, colour touchscreen also controls vehicle functions.

The Media System Plus systems has a 5.8-inch touchscreen with three-dimensional graphics in high definition, an optional DAB tuner,and voice recognition. The system comes with eight speakers. The top solution incorporates the navigation system, which also shows navigation information in the colour display between the speedometer and rev counter. The SEAT audio system has a clear, crisp sound reproduction thanks to its 10-speaker and sub-woofer set-up.

Driver assistance systems – groundbreaking

The new Leon also sets benchmarks when it comes to the available driver assistance systems. The drowsiness detection feature recognizes when the driver is losing concentration and suggests taking a break. Additionally, an advanced camera mounted behind the rear-view mirror manages both the Full Beam Assistant, which switches automatically between full and dipped beam, and the lane-keeping assistant Heading Control which makes slight corrections to the electro-mechanical power steering to prevent the driver from crossing over lane markings.

“With the all-new Leon, we have designed and developed a car which perfectly captures the meaning of Enjoyneering. This compelling mix of design, technology, athletic performance and premium quality is certain to seduce existing customers, as well as bringing a new generation of car-buyers to the brand,” says James Muir, President of SEAT S.A.

New SEAT logo

Another all-new element of the Leon is the logo on its grille, rear and steering wheel. The Leon will be the first car to wear the company’s newly refreshed signifier.

Sporting a cleaner, purer design, the new SEAT logo represents the precision and elegance of the brand’s design language, while also reflecting the company’s engineering and quality leadership. The introduction of the new SEAT logo across all of the company’s visual material and locations will begin from Paris Motor Show in September.

SEAT

Seat diffonde nuove informazioni ufficiali sulla Seat Leon MY 2013, la prima nel suo segmento ad offrire proiettori full LED. Con i suoi 4,26 metri di lunghezza, la nuova media spagnola risulta circa 5 centimetri più corta rispetto alla versione precedente, mentre il passo è quasi 6 centimetri più lungo. Il bagagliaio ha una capienza di 380 litri, circa 40 litri in più del modello che andrà a sostituire entro fine anno. Un’ulteriore novità introdotta con la Leon è il nuovo logo del costruttore iberico, presente sulla calandra, sul portellone e sul volante: la vettura sarà la prima Seat a sfoggiarlo.

Gli ingegneri del gruppo VW hanno spostato l’asse anteriore in avanti di 40 millimetri, ottenendo così una migliore distribuzione dei pesi. Grazie all’utilizzo di avanzate tecniche costruttive e di materiali leggeri per la realizzazione della carrozzeria, il peso complessivo è stato ridotto di 90 chilogrammi. Tutte le motorizzazioni dispongono di iniezione diretta e turbocompressore, e sono state appositamente realizzate per garantire un basso attrito interno ed un rapido raggiungimento della temperatura ideale di esercizio, con consumi che sono stati ridotti fino al 22%.

La vettura sarà inizialmente offerta con propulsore 1.6 TDI da 105 CV di potenza e 250 Nm di coppia. La versione Ecomotive con sistema start & stop e recupero dell’energia fa segnare consumi di 3,8 litri di gasolio ogni 100 km nel ciclo combinato, a fronte di 99 grammi di emissioni di CO2 per km. Più sportivo il 2.0 TDI Ecomotive, totalmente riprogettato, che consuma in media 4,0 litri di carburante ogni 100 km, nonostante una generosa potenza massima di 150 CV ed una coppia motrice di 320 Nm. Nei primi mesi del 2013 arriveranno poi l’1.2 TSI 86 e 105 CV, l’1.4 TSI 122 CV e l’1.8 TSI 180 CV, versione top della gamma benzina. La gamma delle motorizzazioni Diesel, invece, verrà arricchita dall’1.6 TDI 90 CV e dal potente 2.0 TDI 184 CV che sviluppa una coppia massima di 380 Nm. A seconda delle motorizzazioni, i clienti potranno scegliere tra un cambio manuale a cinque o a sei rapporti e il DSG a doppia frizione, a sei o a sette rapporti.

Il telaio della nuova Leon presenta un asse anteriore con sospensioni McPherson e telaio ausiliario, mentre per le motorizzazioni fino a 150 CV di potenza, la vettura è dotata di sospensioni posteriori a barra di torsione. Le versioni più potenti fanno invece uso di sospensioni a bracci multipli che gestiscono i carichi longitudinali e i carichi trasversali in modo distinto. Il nuovo “SEAT Drive Profile” della Leon FR consente al guidatore di variare le caratteristiche del servosterzo, del comando dell’acceleratore e della sonorità del motore (mediante un attuatore acustico), nelle modalità Eco, Comfort e Sport. È inoltre presente un’impostazione personalizzata che consente di effettuare le regolazioni a seconda delle preferenze di chi si trova al volante. Anche l’illuminazione a LED dell’abitacolo cambia, in funzione della modalità di guida selezionata: luce bianca per Eco e Comfort, luce rossa per Sport.

Mediante un touchscreen situato sulla plancia, il SEAT Sound System, basato sul sistema operativo Easy Connect, permette di controllare le funzioni di intrattenimento e comunicazione, così come le informazioni della vettura. La versione Reference è equipaggiata con il Media System Touch con schermo da 5″, che include USB, lettore di schede SD e quattro altoparlanti. Le versioni Style e FR invece sono dotate del Media System Colour, che garantisce una più vasta gamma di colori e una maggiore definizione per lo schermo touchscreen, oltre al lettore CD e a sei altoparlanti di serie (otto per la versione FR); il sistema consente inoltre di collegare dispositivi esterni mediante Bluetooth, USB o AUX-IN, e di comandare diverse funzioni della vettura.

Il sistema Media System Plus offre un touchscreen da 5,8″, immagini tridimensionali ad alta risoluzione, la possibilità di connessione con iPod®, otto altoparlanti, riconoscimento vocale e sintonizzatore DAB (disponibile a richiesta). Questa versione comprende il sistema di navigazione, che riporta le informazioni anche sul display a colori situato tra il tachimetro e il contagiri, ed è gestibile attraverso la funzione di comando vocale. Per chi cerca un suono di qualità ancora superiore, il sistema audio SEAT Sound System comprende ben 10 altoparlanti ed un impianto con subwoofer.

Fra i dispositivi di sicurezza c’è da segnalare il dispositivo per il riconoscimento della stanchezza, particolarmente utile per aiutare a prevenire i colpi di sonno del guidatore, riconoscendo il momento in cui si inizia a perdere la concentrazione: suggerisce chi è alla guida di effettuare una pausa. Inoltre, grazie a una telecamera posizionata nel parabrezza all’altezza dello specchietto retrovisore, il sistema Full Beam Assistant gestisce automaticamente il funzionamento dei fari abbaglianti passando agli anabbaglianti quando necessario. Il dispositivo di assistenza al mantenimento della corsia Heading Control, invece, imprime leggere correzioni al servosterzo elettromeccanico, aiutando a evitare che il guidatore oltrepassi le linee di segnalazione della corsia.

A me piace davvero tanto... molto spigolosa e moderna...

Modificato 23 Giugno 2015 da Touareg 2.5

[Uomo dell'Ovest]

Beh tutto sommato non male; le linee sulla fiancata sembrano parecchio accentuate! Anche dentro non è male. Sbaglio o sono i primi led su seg. C?

[RiRino]

Una ibiza ingrassata....non è male,il posteriore ha un'espressione come se avesse la puzza sotto il naso(ce l'ha,sono i gas di scarico:lol:)...non mi convincono quelle nervature sulla fiancata che finiscono a metà della portiera posteriore,in maniera discorde...la voglio rivedere e assimilare meglio...gli interni,con la palpebra che comprende le bocchette centrali e navigatore,sà molto di saab o comunque germania anni 70-80,minimalisti ma diversi dal solito,non male...

[Teknos]

Bella bella! Soprattutto il posteriore Semplice ma con gli spigoli al posto giusto....veramente riuscita IMHO.

Anche dentro è un passo avanti.

Avete notato i fari FULL LED anteriori?

[Albertw]

Beh tutto sommato non male; le linee sulla fiancata sembrano parecchio accentuate! Anche dentro non è male. Sbaglio o sono i primi led su seg. C?

Anche nelle foto ufficiali dell'A3 c'era un esemplare che montava i full-LED

[Teknos]

Vero, ma credevo che lascessero i FULL LED alle Audi (o, al massimo, alla Golf VII)

[nucarote]

Questa meritava la maniglia posteriore nascosta, interno buono ma ancora un po scarnuccio, tutto il resto imho molto buono.

[ykdg1984]

Anche nelle foto ufficiali dell'A3 c'era un esemplare che montava i full-LED

Che comunque non sono disponibili sulla nuova A3...

[Beckervdo]

No, mi spiace, non mi piace per niente

[Robert1]

Piuttosto riuscita, anche se i gruppi ottici anteriori - full o non full Led che siano - mi paiono di difficile digestione per la loro spigolosità..
