The new 2024 Cupra Leon is now available for purchase in the UK, offering more features and equipment than before, but at a higher price point. Prices for the entry-level V1 hatchback start at £31,090 and go up to £50,975 for the top-spec VZ3 estate with 328bhp. Customers can also choose from a range of trim levels, with a special limited-time First Edition version available at launch.
In terms of engine options, the V1, V2, and V3 models are equipped with a 148bhp 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with a six-speed manual gearbox. There is also an option to upgrade to a seven-speed DSG gearbox with a 48V mild-hybrid system for an additional cost. For those looking for more power, there is a 200bhp e-hybrid model available for an extra fee.
Moving up the trim levels, the VZ1, VZ2, and VZ3 models offer more potent powertrains, including a 268bhp plug-in hybrid version or a 296bhp four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a seven-speed DSG gearbox. The Cupra Leon Estate models come with similar trims and engines but offer a more powerful 328bhp turbocharged four with all-wheel drive, making it the most dynamic option to drive.
All models come well-equipped with Cupra’s updated 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, LED headlights, and 18- or 19-inch alloy wheels. The VZ3 trim level stands out with additional features such as hard-backed bucket seats, Akebono brakes, and Matrix LED headlights. The Cupra Leon First Edition model, only available with the 268bhp plug-in powertrain, offers bespoke styling additions for a premium price.
The new Cupra Leon is part of the mid-life refresh for the brand, along with the Cupra Formentor, featuring a range of upgrades and improvements. With a variety of models and trim levels to choose from, customers have the option to customize their Cupra Leon to suit their preferences and driving needs. Overall, the 2024 Cupra Leon offers a blend of performance, style, and technology for drivers looking for a fun and engaging driving experience.
