CAR magazine UK reveals details of the new Cupra Leon hot hatch with pictures and specs
This is the new hot hatch from SEAT’s racier division – say hello to the 2024 Cupra Leon. It’s been tweaked and tucked with a facelift for this year, and quite a substantial one at that. Cupra is using the car and its bigger offering, the Formentor, to establish the brand as champions of progressive and intrepid design over the next few years, with ambitions to be in the US by the end of this decade.
It’s received a new nose to complement an overall revised front end, along with redesigned taillights and a revisited cabin to match. There are also new engines available from the wider Volkswagen Group family, plus a few bits of trick engineering like a torque splitter to up its sportier side.Cupra’s new design language
Around the back of the car, a more muscular rear bumper complete with quad copper-style exhausts and a big diffuser arguably establishes a more aggressive stance, though the eyes are drawn first to the new rear-lighting signature. A light bar is still present to connect the two taillights, as was the case with the outgoing version, though it’s now finished with an illuminated Cupra badge front and centre. Oh, and don’t forget the faux carbon spoiler.Yep, that’s been given a makeover, too.
The top-end, faux-carbon-backed CUPBucket race seats on offer look and feel as though they might’ve been plucked from the Audi RS6 GT – too much seat for this car, we initially think, but we’ll have to report back when we’ve spent some time in them on the road. A rather enormous 12.9-inch infotainment display is also available, along with a 12-speaker Sennheiser audio system.The Cupra Leon engine line-up has also been revised, now with a few extra hybrid options. Bottom-spec cars get a 147bhp 1.
