New Seat Leon Sportstourer 1.5 TSI– ideal?– Test

Although the Leon station wagon is 27 cm longer than the hatchback, it has the very same wheelbase as the design that debuted a couple of months previously. This suggests that it can easily take a trip approximately 4 adult travelers. This time, nevertheless, throughout the vacation journey, you do not need to restrict yourself with the variety of travel suitcases, due to the fact that they have 620 liters of travel luggage area. Let’s include not just capacious, however likewise useful. All thanks to the two-level flooring, which in the upper position develops an even surface area with the back-rests of the couch exposed, and likewise supplies a practical storage area for little products. When we require to carry long things (approximately 78 cm), put the flooring in the lower position.

When transferring freight, we likewise value: tinted windows (efficiently decreasing the view for curious individuals), a 12 V socket, an internet that avoids things from moving, deals with for folding the back of the couch from the freight area and an ideal tape roller. blind. Thanks to the basic rails (in the Xcellence chrome variation), the bikes can be put on the roofing system or– after purchasing a factory hook (PLN 2,914)– on the back of the vehicle. Leon 1.5 TSI/ 150 KM with hook can likewise tow trailers weighing approximately 1.5 lots.

There are likewise lots of useful services in the interior of the Leon station wagon. Amongst them, we liked: a closed drawer under the guest seat, a file rack under the driver’s seat, a roomy primary compartment and the possibility of cordless smart device charging.

However, not whatever in the brand-new Leon is a design in action. Undoubtedly, we liked the digital cockpit, which has a 10.25- inch virtual clock and a multimedia system that’s quick and completely suitable with smart devices, however we’ll grumble about the total omission of analog buttons. It is an error to move the environment control, the choice of driving modes or the possibility of shutting off the line assistant on the multimedia screen. These functions are extremely beneficial, and we require to tap the screen a number of times to access them. As if in the age of smart devices and tablets, it is simple, however it takes some time, and it likewise sidetracks the driver from the roadway, which triggers threat.

In the test Leon, we will applaud the automobile for it. An effective 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine provides the household home fantastic characteristics (measurement from 0-100 km/ h in 9.3 seconds), great versatility (listed below 1500 rpm has little doubt) and a high efficiency culture. Notably, it is affordable. In the city, it takes in between 7 and 8.5 l/ 100 km, on the roadway about 7.5 l, and outside the city, on regional roadways, it takes in less than 5.5 l/ 100 km. Usually, when driving our measuring loop, we got the very same outcomes as those provided by the maker (6.3 l/ 100 km).

We likewise have an example to examine the work of a manual transmission, which is identified by a brief jack stroke and an appropriate choice of equipment ratios.

We will discuss the os of Leon checked nearly in the very best attributes. With adaptive suspension, it was not just accurate handling, however likewise positive cornering and high stability at high speeds. We were likewise pleased with excellent differential filtering, and the only objection to the chassis worried its loud operation, particularly audible when driving on recognized roadways. cobblestones or railway tracks.

A vehicle of more than 4.6 meters can be driven, in city parking lot we can utilize not just serial parking sensing units, however likewise an optional reversing electronic camera, which offers a sharp image, however in the test system about 1/5 of the screen it was taken by the look of license plates. We have no objections to the brakes, which, despite whether it is cold or hot, guaranteed a fast stop (from 100 km/ h to 35 m).

In the case of Leon, the more useful body needs an extra PLN 3,600 Costs for the 150 HP gas variation start from PLN 88,700, which has to do with PLN 4,700 more than the Ceed 1.4/ 140 HP station wagon with the exact same level of devices.

We like: a great deal of area for travelers and freight, excellent handling and convenience, contemporary multimedia and support group, excellent characteristics, low fuel usage.

We do not like this: decreasing the variety of buttons and moving control to the multimedia screen is sidetracking from driving, the work of the suspension.

The brand-new seat Leon Sportstourer– summary

Leon Sportstourer is an effective station wagon not just in regards to style, however on all efficiency. The head of the household will have a great deal of enjoyable driving it, specifically when he chooses to get the 150 HP gas engine and pay additional for the Dynamic bundle.
