The model
Read full Cupra Leon reviewThe Cupra Leon 310 estate is practical, surprisingly comfortable and quick, but we'd avoid the e-Hybrid, which is mediocre to drive by hot hatch standards. The more affordable engines might be tempting, but you still have to pay a small premium over a similarly powerful Seat Leon for the looks. Meanwhile, the pure-petrol 300 hatchback is pricey and serves up less fun than a Ford Focus ST.

See full engine specsAgainst a regular family car, this engine has decent grunt and efficiency. But it lacks the excitement to be considered a real hot hatch.
