The model
Read full New Cupra Leon reviewThe Cupra Leon 333 estate and Leon 300 hatchback are practical, surprisingly comfortable and quick, so we can see why you’d go for them.

The engine
See full engine specsLike the 204, this plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the Cupra Leon can travel up to 60 miles on electricity-alone and will be the choice for company car drivers. While we suspect that the e-Hybrid 204 won’t feel slow, this one should feel especially quick.
