The Cupra Leon 333 estate and Leon 300 hatchback are practical, surprisingly comfortable and quick, so we can see why you’d go for them. We’d avoid the more affordable engines and the e-Hybrid models though, because they’re fairly mediocre to drive and cost a premium over the Seat Leon.

This trim level adds a few extra niceties, including 19in alloy wheels, adaptive suspension and really nice bucket seats.

We’re yet to try this mild-hybrid variant of the entry-level 1.5 TSI 150. Even so, if you like the look of the Cupra Leon but efficiency is more important than sportiness, this might just be the one.
