Seat is readying the fourth-generation of the Leon,
which is expected to arrive within the next 18 months, or approximately 7 years
after the current iteration was introduced. The new compact car
is part of Seat's most extensive push in their history, which includes several
new or heavily updated vehicles.
The 2020 Seat Leon will go down the evolutionary
route in terms of styling, while sharing a few design elements with some
of the latest vehicles currently made by the Spanish car manufacturer.
While it will sport a redesigned bodywork, beneath
the skin, the next-gen Leon is expected to maintain the MQB architecture,
albeit with a slight improvement in the wheelbase, which is expected to gain a
few mm for improved legroom on the rear seat.
The engine lineup will probably include the 1.0 and
1.5-liter turbocharged petrol units along with a 1.6-liter diesel, while the
48V mild hybrid technology that will debut on the next-gen VW Golf could be
part of the offerings as well along with a rumored PHEV.
