With CUPRA, Swansway
Performance is the name of the game with the CUPRA Leon’s engines. Even the entry-level unit has 242bhp on offer, while a more powerful version of the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine brings 296bhp. All cars use a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox, too.
If you’re fancying a more electrified experience then there’s an option for you. There’s the e-Hybrid version, which combines a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor and batteries for a total output of 242bhp. It can manage up to 221.8mpg when fully charged, too.
The CUPRA Leon comes with a turbocharged TFSI 2.0-litre petrol engine with 306bhp and 400Nm of torque. It’s a popular engine across the Volkswagen Group, but you can understand why given its flexibility and – at up to 34.4mpg – its reasonable efficiency. With power sent to all four wheels via a seven-speed DSG gearbox, the CUPRA Leon will accelerate from 0-60mph in just 4.7 seconds before carrying on to a limited top speed of 155mph. You can also opt for lower-powered versions of the Cupra Leon with 296bhp, while a plug-in hybrid variant is available too.
The CUPRA Born is arguably one of the best-looking electric vehicles on sale today
Despite being a fairly large and practical hatchback, it manages to blend this with a sporty stance and some fantastic design details. If you’re considering buying a CUPRA Born and are keen to know more, here are five things you need to know. It’s a real tech-fest inside the CUPRA Born. There's a large central screen which controls all of the car’s major functions. Not only do you find media and navigation functions here, but you’ll also adjust your climate control and temperature here too. Ahead of the driver there’s a secondary screen which relays key information such as speed and range back to whoever is behind the wheel.
