2009 SEAT Leon FR

You can add another car manufacturing company set to unveil its latest model, the Leon hatchback 2009 SEAT Leon FR. This new car model is expected to be at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

Owners of the current car or SEAT aficionados might spot the changed side mirrors, new rear window, revised air intakes and a smaller front grille. The taillights are smaller. It’s a bunch of minor changes but together they do improve the styling.

Additionally, there is a new common rail diesel technology. The petrol Leon FR gets a new engine in the shape of the new 208bhp 2-litre TSI which is the same engine as in the new VW Golf GTI. There’s also a 158bhp 1.8-litre TSI petrol if you want performance from the next rung down the Leon ladder.

The new Leon will be on show at Geneva next month alongside a similarly updated Altea mini MPV. Expect sales to start later in the year with prices for the Leon FR and Cupra hot hatches costing approx. £17,500 and £19K respectively.
