Seat’s ad straplines include ‘Passionate Technologists’, so it should be no surprise that our Leon X-perience has all-wheel drive, DSG twin-clutch auto transmission and active cruise control.
The traction-sensing drivetrain and elevated chassis should attract anyone from forestry managers to paramedics in rural and adverse weather-prone areas.
Sneaking in below the 130g/km tax barrier the car is more fleet-friendly than higher-CO2 SUVs while retaining the same boot space as conventional Leon estates. It also offers four driving modes (pictured) and rapid-change gear-shift paddles.
