Seat Leon Hatchback Lease
The SEAT Leon is an affordable family hatchback that takes the fight to premium rivals thanks to its sporty, energetic styling and modern hybrid powertrains.
The Leon isn’t short of competitors, with the list including the Volkswagen Golf, Honda Civic, Vauxhall Astra, Ford Focus, Mazda3 hatch, Audi A3 and the BMW 1 Series.

Both SEAT and Volkswagen come under the umbrella of the wider Volkswagen Group, and so the Leon and the VW Golf share much in common, including the vehicle platform and range of engines.
And that’s no bad thing at all, with both the Leon and the Golf having strong reputations for both reliability and safety.
The SEAT Leon also comes as standard with driver assistance technology such as front-assist and a lane keeping system.

About the SEAT Leon hatchback
The SEAT Leon has been a fixture of UK roads since it was first launched in 1999. Now, some four generations later, the Leon remains one of the most desirable cars in its class.
The SEAT Leon and Volkswagen Golf are closely related. Both vehicles share the Volkswagen Group’s ‘MQB’ platform, as does the Audi A3, and the available engines are replicated across the models.
Where the Leon differs, however, is with its exterior styling, which can be viewed as more youthful and vibrant compared with the Golf.
If you want a performance Leon, you’ll need to look to the Spanish brand’s CUPRA division, where you can enjoy power of up to 300 PS with the CUPRA Leon.
Why lease a SEAT Leon hatchback?
Most customers who lease a SEAT Leon will be looking for a sensible alternative to the Volkswagen Golf, but one that still boasts plenty of road presence. The Leon is also the larger of SEAT’s two hatchbacks, boasting more interior space than the smaller SEAT Ibiza.
One of the big appeals of the Leon, like the Golf, is that it’s available to lease with a plug-in hybrid powertrain - a huge consideration if you’re a company car driver looking to lower your Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax burden.
The plug-in hybrid SEAT Leon offers a range of up to 40 miles using electricity alone as well as power of 204 PS, which is enough to accelerate the hatch from 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds.
The SEAT Leon also comes with a generous 380-litre boot, which is larger than you get with rivals like the Mazda3 hatchback.
Which SEAT Leon hatchback powertrain is right for me?
Petrol
There are 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre ‘EVO’ petrol engines that have power of between 110 PS and 150 PS.
Mild-hybrid
The SEAT Leon’s mild-hybrid engines are called ‘eTSI’, and again have power of between 110 PS and 150 PS
Plug-in hybrid
The Leon’s plug-in hybrid powertrain is referred to as ‘eHybrid’, and is available on the range-topping FR and FR Sport trims.

Seat Leon Review
The latest Leon is a properly attractive car. Where it was once bulbous and fluffy, it’s now sharp, angular and edgy, while we particularly like the purposeful rear end.
Your Complete Guide To Car Leasing
In simple terms, leasing is the single most cost-effective and hassle free method of driving a brand-new car, and with Select Car Leasing you can be sure that you are in safe hands.
Jon was excellent throughout the process, and really worked hard for me. There was a small price discrepancy, as the “in stock deal” on the website only indicated the price for a base model without any additional options, which was not actually possible to order - which I felt was a little misleading. However, Jon worked up a deal I was happy with, and communicated very well throughout the process - including following up with some issues after delivery. I will definitely use again.
Yeh, good service a bit of headache filling forms couple of times but turn around was very good and with the maintenance cover it’s peace of mind.
What's great: I'm now driving a lovely Lexus at a far more affordable price than I could find elsewhere. My contract includes a full maintenance deal which isn't always available with other providers. The sales process and arranging the finance was a good experience, with lots of support from Dave. Thanks Dave! BUT ... Once the contract had been agreed, communication was terrible. I was told that I would get access to the portal (which is the only way to track progress) 'shortly': it took 2 weeks and multiple phone calls and emails (initiated by me)to gain access. Promises to phone me back were not met. In the end, Dave sorted it out. Thanks Dave. The portal looked promising as it appeared that I could track my car's journey from the factory in Japan to delivery. However, apart from me uploading identity documents to it (not acknowledged until I got in contact), the portal did not change except to put my expected delivery date back a month (no explanation). Then out of the blue, the Lexus dealership phoned me to say that my car was ready for collection. This was surprising as the portal located the car in Japan, and gave me a bit of a dilemma as I needed to get rid of my current car at very short notice (anyone looking for an Audi Q2?). Nothing from Select Car until I contacted them to say where the car was. Their failure to contact me was apparently the Lexus dealership's fault in some way ... which I find hard to believe to be honest. I made the decision to collect the car rather than have it delivered, in order to get a proper dealership handover, which I was told was fine. Only nothing happened until I phoned Select Car and was told that I had to arrange collection directly with the dealer. That was news to me, but I did it, and was then sent regular emails informing me that my car was due to be delivered to my house on that date. A few more phone calls followed to sort that out ... Maybe I just had a poor experience. Maybe if you go for a car that is in stock rather than a factory order the process might be smoother. At the end of the day, I did get my car at a good price and within the original time frame, so on reflection I've changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars. But it was a frustrating journey which some joined-up communications at Select Car would have made a happier overall experience.
