For S-level trim brings all the basic items of kit you could want, while this engine averages more than 55mpg.

Against You need to go for a higher trim level to get standard alloy wheels. And, if you want the ultimate in fuel economy, you'll need one of the Ecomotive versions.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Leons are a bit like curry: there's everything from a mild eco model right up to a fiery, full-spice, blow-your-socks-off Cupra R, and a range of hot models in between that should suit most tastes.

Petrol buyers have a wide choice – from the entry-level 1.4 to the 1.2- and 1.4 TSI units, as well as three 2.0-litre turbos in the FR, Cupra and Cupra R.

Diesel options include a 1.6 that can be specified in Seat's 'green' Ecomotive trim. There are a couple of 2.0-litre turbodiesels, too, with 138- or 168bhp.

All models come well equipped, but we'd stay away from Sport models that have stiffer suspension.

Seat dealers are always willing to haggle, so check our What Car? Target Prices for a starting point. Also check Seat's website for the latest offers, because 0% APR finance deals are regularly available on a range of models.
