SEAT presents the perfect car for enjoying both life and performance: The new Leon ST Cupra combines top performance in a unique way with style and utility. A maximum load space of 1,470 litres can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in the Leon ST Cupra 280 in just 6.0 seconds - that's how fast versatility can be. The stunning design, individual equipment options and excellent quality are further points that make the Leon ST Cupra a very special proposition indeed. In true SEAT fashion, exceptional value-for-money is, of course, a given.
Among journalists and customers alike, the SEAT Leon Cupra is much admired as a Sport Coupé and as a five-door. In the trade media cross Europe, the Cupra immediately became a consistent winner in comparison tests; its owners love its design and road manners. The new Leon ST Cupra adds another dimension - the space of an estate. For work and family, for sports and hobbies - thanks to its versatility, the Leon ST Cupra is the perfect sports car for all aspects of life.
"The new Leon ST Cupra is the perfect complement to our high-performance model line-up. The combination of refined performance and expressive dynamics with relaxed long-distance comfort and compelling utility make it utterly unique," says Jürgen Stackmann, President of SEAT S.A. "The Leon ST Cupra shows the SEAT brand values at their best. We are proud of the technical excellence and quality it conveys."
A concentrated package of hi-tech guarantees the enormous performance of the new Leon ST Cupra. At the top is the 2.0 TSI engine with dual injection and variable camshaft timing. Depending on the version, it delivers an output of 195 kW / 265 PS or 206 kW / 280 PS. The DCC dynamic chassis control, the front differential lock, the progressive steering, the Cupra Drive Profile and the standard-fit full-LED headlamps are further examples of its state-of-the-art technologies.

"The new Leon ST Cupra is pure SEAT - emotion and performance, design and dynamics deliver driving fun mile after mile. It boasts state-of-the-art technology evident in its great precision, but also in its amazing efficiency," stresses Dr. Matthias Rabe, Vice President for Research and Development. "We have invested a great deal in the fine details to ensure the Leon Cupra has the same ride and the same athleticism in its estate form - but with plenty of additional utility."
With the new Leon ST Cupra, a success story is moving onto the next level. The first generation was launched in 1996 with the Ibiza, since when the dynamic Cupra models have developed to become the icons of the SEAT brand. In the new generation, the Leon three-door is being offered for the first time as a Cupra - and now the Leon ST, too.
The Drive - top performance included
Cupra stands for power, performance, dynamics - and the new Leon ST Cupra fulfils all these promises perfectly. The Cupra 280 with optional DSG transmission, the brand's top model, catapults from zero to 100 km/h in just 6.0 seconds, and in 6.1 seconds with the manual gearbox. The regulated top speed of 250 km/h is a matter of course. The maximum torque of 350 Newton metres across the wide range of 1,700 to 5,600 rpm guarantees impressive pulling power in every situation. And the Cupra with 195 kW / 265 PS and a maximum torque of 350 Newton metres is no more than a fraction slower. Its acceleration time stands at 6.2 seconds with manual transmission and 6.1 seconds with DSG.
Against this, the new Leon ST Cupra is astonishingly efficient. The average fuel consumption for both power variants is just 6.6 litres with DSG and 6.7 litres with the manual gearbox. This equates to CO2 figures of just 154 and 157 grams.
The great Leon ST Cupra performance can go even further with the Performance Pack that comprises larger Brembo brake callipers, specific wheels and special tyres.

DCC dynamic chassis control
The key fundamentals of the dynamics are low weight and a stiff structure. The systematic lightweight design of the new Leon family is also evident on the ST Cupra. The new generation of the DCC dynamic chassis control developed specifically for the Cupra is even more sensitive and responsive, adapting the chassis characteristics to the prevailing conditions in a matter of milliseconds. The same applies to the driver's preferences - the Cupra Drive Profile permits extensive individualisation of the ride.
Front-axle differential lock
The new front-axle differential lock significantly improves the traction and handling of this front-wheel drive car. The system uses a multi-plate package that is hydraulically actuated and electronically controlled. The maximum locking force is 1,600 Newton metres and, in extreme cases, 100 percent of the drive can be sent to one wheel. The differential lock is integrated into all the handling systems like ESP and EDS. It improves not only the traction, but also eliminates torque steer. Furthermore, its sensitive control has no negative impact on steering feel.
Progressive steering
Also included as standard equipment, the progressive steering improves the agile handling of the new Leon ST Cupra. The driver experiences a precise and relaxed steering feel, less steering movement is required, reducing the number of grip changes, especially in cornering or parking manoeuvres. The steering in the new Leon Cupra works with a progressive ratio through variable toothing on the rack.
The ESP handling system has been further developed specifically for the new Leon ST Cupra and enables a very sporty driving style with full retention of safety functionality. For extremely dynamic use, such as on a race track, it can also be deactivated in two stages - the first stage deactivates the traction control and puts the ESP into sport mode, permitting greater yaw angles. The second stage deactivates the ESP completely.
