The Cupra Leon Sports tourer is the powerful and elegant estate model of the bestselling Cupra Leon, a car that combines sportiness, design, and usefulness. Bold, with plenty of punch under the bonnet in its two powerful engines – and all the latest technology – the Sports tourer is for drivers who don’t want to compromise on performance but want all the convenience of a family wagon.
Design: Sportive and Aerodynamic
At a glance, there is no mistaking the fact that this is no ordinary estate car. There are also a few styling changes to help it stand out: the aggressive front grille with big Cupra logo will catch your eye, for example, as will the sharp LED headlights and big air intakes. The flowing roofline and taut wheel arches highlight the vehicle’s sporting prowess, and the aerodynamically-enhanced rear spoiler also provides an added air of road presence.
The estate body style of the Leon Sports tourer comes with plenty of room for everything – the trunk has a capacity of 620 liters, expandable to 1,654 liters with the rear seats folded down, which makes managing a family trip, week away or loads of sports equipment easy work.
Powertrain: Potent and Fuel Efficient
The Cupra Leon Sports tourer offers a range of powertrains suited to any driver; from traditional internal combustion engines (ICE) to plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions, each designed to provide thrilling performance:
1.4 TSI eHybrid (204 HP) – The plug-in hybrid combines a petrol engine with an electric motor, offering up to 60 km of pure electric range (WLTP). Ideal for commuters and eco-conscious drivers.
2.0 TSI (245 PS / 300 PS) – An uncompromising premium sports station wagon built for performance: in just over 5 seconds (300 PS version) the 2.0 liter turbo catapults the Sports tourer from 0 to 100 km/h.
2.0 TDI (200 HP) – The diesel is torque and economical over long distances.
Each is available with either a manual transmission or a DSG dual-clutch automatic, and some come with optional 4Drive all-wheel drive.
Chassis & Handling: Sport Tuning
Cupra is shorthand for driving pleasure, and the Leon Sports tourer provides. The sport suspension – and optional adaptive DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) – delivers competent cornering and a direct feel for the road. The Cupra Drive Profiles enable drivers to adjust the vehicle (Comfort, Sport and Cupra mode) to suit their preferences.
