Seat is planning both a smaller and a larger SUV
than the Ateca. But it's still messing around with the Leon X-Perience, an
off-road wagon that just got a facelift. Only die-hard
fans of the Leon X-Perience will know that minor cosmetic changes have been
made.
Just like with its sister car, the Golf Alltrack,
the facelift mainly brought about new LED headlights. All Leons used to have
handsome front ends, but for whatever reason, they've borrowed the styling of
the Ateca. That means a kink in the lights and a wider grille.
Around the back, we have new graphics for the
taillights, but the bumper is the same. A new set of alloys has been added, and
its design is shared with the Ateca.
On the inside, the Leon X-Perience gets treated to two types of humanmade
leather in an earthy tone. You might also notice that the handbrake has been
replaced by a button, making room for a longer armrest. The infotainment system
is a little bigger at 8 inches, with most functions, but Volkswagen has an even
better 9.2-inch setup.
The engine range of engines is about the same
starting at € 24,590 with a 1.4 TSI, a manual and FWD. The cheapest diesel is a
1.6 TDI, but most buyers go for either the 150 or the 184 hp 2.0 TDI, both of
which come standard with 4Drive. There's also a brisk 1.8 TSI model, which some
people like despite the poor fuel economy.
There, the engine range is limited to the base 2.0 TDI in SE Technology
trim for £ 28,210 or the more powerful model in SE Lux trim for £ 32,210.
