This September sees the release of the new SEATLeon FR hot hatch from Spanish automaker SEAT. The new SEAT Leon FR lineup aims to be more accessible and appeal to a wider market by providing a number of new models and engine sizes.

SEAT Leon FR – Features

The more toned down models, aimed at a smaller budget, start with a 1.4 TSI 125 PS manual as well as a 2.0 TDI CR 140 PS manual and DSG model. The Leon comes with FR front and rear bumpers, a twin chrome exhausts pipe, silver-painted door mirrors, LED light clusters, FR sports seats, FR sport steering wheel and a number of other impressive features.

The most exciting model in the new SEAT Leon FR series is the FR+, which comes with improved performance and additional equipment. Under the hood the engine options include a 2.0 TSI 211 PS and a 2.0 TDI CR 170 PS. To differentiate it from the standard FR, the FR+ comes with 18 inch ‘lbera’ alloy wheels, the SEAT Media System 2.2, a 5 inch colour touch screen, Bi-xenon headlights with adaptive Front-lighting system as well as front parking sensors and a few other additional comforts.

The new SEAT Leon FR range is currently only available in Europe but look for information on a local release should it become available.
