Warm hatches often suffer from the fact that they can seem a little tame compared to their full-fat performance alternatives, coming across a little like the car you got ‘cos you couldn’t afford the proper fast one.
Yet the SEAT Leon FR stands out from its competitors for being less like a Cupra-lite, and more like a proper little pocket rocket in its own right. In fact, there are some who say that this car is more like a Golf GTi than even the current GTi itself…
So how does the Leon FR hold up in our review? Watch on to find out!
In this review, we take an in-depth look at the interior of the Seat Leon FR including its boot size, dashboard and back seats. We then run through performance, price and finish up with the all-important verdict - is the Seat Leon FR a good car?

I just purchased the Seat Leon FR 1.4 Tsi - I love it, from the interior to the exterior to the drive. It a joy to drive and looks stunning. I added the winter pack and convenience just making it that little bit more extra special. It has different driving modes at a click of the button, link up to my iphone was super easy as are all the other tech gadgets. The lumbar support in the driver seat was an added bonus for me, having a bad back! It's fun to drive, stunning to look at and worth every penny!

Owned my 1.4 fr for 7 months. I love it! managing 45mpg over last 2000 miles according to computer (generally over 43 mpg when measuring manually). Great to drive on country roads and plenty of fun, with a sensible boot. Had 4 people and everyone's luggage in it with some careful packing of boot. If you want a decent warm hatch that you can use for the family then this has to be towards the top of the list. VAG build and equipment, for a few grand cheaper than golf or a3. I love my car, test drive it and look for online deals. Seat will probably match it, and they were offering 0% apr when i bought mine, so no brainer!

I've just bought a 2014 one of these, and I have to say it is a truly superb car - I'm struggling to find fault with it. It's ridiculously easy to drive, feels really well put together and has a very nice sporty 'bite' when needed. I also love the sharp edged looks, which I think are a huge improvement on the 2nd generation Leon and make it look more mature and sophisticated. Ever since I got it I've found myself trying to come up with valid reasons why I need to go somewhere, just so I can drive it again!

I've driven the Leon 1.2 tsi over twelve months from new and love it. It feels solid, has the level of comfort I prefer (not hard but not too Frenchesque softy wallowy) and although its a 7 speed automatic DSG it's superb in terms of economy. Previously I drove a Polo 1.4 match automatic DSG and theres no doubt that VW's feel more upmarket inside and out. Well to be honest with one hand covering the 'S' Seat badge and I can tell no discernible difference between it and a VW, plus its better looking than the Golf by streets.

Car Keys UK The Seat Leon over the VW Polo - YES. It is a different class of car. The Leon has a smoother gearbox, is a far better looking car (its like the VW's sexier sister), its roomier all-round for family, its pretty much on a par for fuel frugality, and I'd have another one tomorrow.

The leon St FR 184(d) DSG , I drove back to back with the skoda vRS 180(d) found it more comply, less bumpy and more sporty, and at least the feeling of being a dad more spritly. Also it sounded a bit better than the Skodas power plant. Even though they are probably the same 2l diesel unit. I went to see it the extra performance of the petrol vrs was worth the added consumption. Even though the petrol (220) was a different beast, it only manages 24mpg in my 30min test, the diesel (180) 48mpg over the same route. The initial take off and sound is great, but once moving there seemed little different, 60-90mph, with out dropping it right down the gears in the petrol. So after I decided the vRS 180 would suffice, I went and checked out the Leon st FR 184, just out of curiosity and it drove better, and spec for spec is about £1500 cheaper. Id never considered Seat, only called in as it was next door to śkoda. Now it tops the list of the next car, after we get rid of the GTC 2ld 165. Which has very similar performance to the Leon, a better sporty drive, but obviously much much less room. An update on this, I ended up ordering an Leon ST FR 2tsi 190. Will be here soon.

Hi Jez, glad you liked the review :) we put 4K in the title to highlight the fact that the video is 4K quality. 4K is basically a step up from 1080p HD - technically four steps up as 4K is four times the amount of pixels you get with 1080p (YES, SCIENCE!). And you can toggle the quality with the little settings cog in the corner of the video. You'll notice that the video, in 4K, is uber clear quality wise. Who knows what the next step up will be... molecule close-ups... see-through cars?

I really wanted to like the Leon. Recently test drove a 1.4 FR estate (which my local dealer was desperately struggling to shift because in white it looked like a paramedic's vehicle). Drove nicely - fairly quick and lovely quiet engine but the awkward mix of curves and straight lines aren't to my liking and some cost cutting features eg door mirrors bolted directly to the door skin irritated and made me pay the extra for a Golf.

I have owned mine for almost a couple years now (and it had been at the dealeship waiting for an owner for another year, it´s from 2015). I guess you don´t need the input anymore but anyway I am giving it So the car has yet to start giving me any sort of sound trouble and believe, I always listen to the car for the first few kilometers to make sure everything is in top condition. Surprised by the build quality and quite happy. You could argue owners always try to defend thei decission but I would it again in a heartbeat. If anything, I got used to the 150hp and while I have NEVER needed more to take over or get to 200kph, I am feeling the call from the Cupra.

Which engine do you have. I test drove the leon St FR 184 DCT yesterday, (also a Skoda vRS 180, Seat won). I really liked it, it didn't feel much more spritey than my GTC 165 (smaller more agile car) , but the DCT box makes alot of defence, the box is great compared to the Vauxhall GTC auto box. It's now top of my next car list, we need to go back to an estate, or cross over, and I refuse to go crossover of 4x4.

I have owned a Cupra now for about 16 months and I still love every second in it. But I am also quite curious to know how the 150 and 180 hp Leons drive and feel.

We've had mixed reviews between the Leon and Golf, with a lot of people saying they prefer the VW Charles. What sways it for you?

@cmburns83 7 жыл бұрын

+Car Keys UK I am not denying that the Golf is a very nice car. I am a huge fan of the compact hatch concept as I think this is more car than most people ever need and just the right size. Prior to the Leon I had three Golfs (Mk 3, 4 and 6) and I loved them all. The Mk 6 was probably my best Golf in terms of interior quality, which is the criterion many Golf fans bring up as the biggest argument in its favour. The Mk 7 then never really appealed to me, although it is arguably pretty nice looking. However, I feel that it is maybe trying a bit too hard with all its shiny bits, while realistically most materials are not better than the Leon's and partly even a step back from the Mk7. In a nutshell, the Leon appears to me to be the more honest car, as it does not try so hard to live up to that "premium" philosophy that VW has adopted over the years. Furthermore, when you follow the Internet on the problems Mk 7 owners have with their Golfs, there is no reason to believe that the car is...

@cmburns83 7 жыл бұрын

...of any higher quality than the Leon. And that is where the value for money aspect comes into play. You get essentially the same car for far less money. In my case, the Golf R was about 8-10 grand more expensive than a similarly equipped Leon. And apart from the 4WD there is not much in favour of the Golf from my point of view. Last but not least, I find the Leon an exceptionally good looking car. It was the first car in years that gave me that certain 'must have' feeling. I have put almost 20k Ks on mine now and I loved every meter. Once you overcome that (idiotic and arrogant) feeling that anything less than a Golf may be not good enough for you, the Leon really gives you everything the Golf would, combined with great looks and much better value for money.

@CarKeysUKOfficial 7 жыл бұрын

I know exactly what you mean - the whole “Golf or Leon?” question can be a tough one to answer. Personally, I agree with you. The Leon is a Golf, but costs less - AND you get added style. I totally hear you with regards to it being a more earnest model too, I couldn’t agree more. I guess resale value comes into it though. People will pay more for a second-hand German car than one with a Spanish badge (although SEAT is VW owned and practicality German itself, not everyone will realise that). Ultimately, if it does just come own to price, then it’s a no brainer for me. Seat it is. Yes, the interior of a Golf is ever so slightly plusher, but all things consider, the Leon comes out on top in my opinion. As a slight aside, it would be the same with Hyundai and Kia. I would go with Kia. They are cheaper, have a better warranty - and are pretty much exactly the same as Hyundai, share parts, built in the same factory etc. - Richard

@cmburns83 7 жыл бұрын

+Car Keys UK Yes, get you on the resale thing. The question is: will the difference in depreciation exceed the savings achieved at the purchase. I doubt it. Plus, if you're lucky and invest the money you save at the beginning, it might pay off too. Nevertheless, both are great cars and anyone to own one can consider themselves a lucky person. These compact hatches nowadays are so refined, comfortable and spacious that they can fully cater to 90% of automotive needs.

Brilliant car for its class. Only sad things about this car in my opinion is the fuel tank of 50L which could be bigger (a small Peugeot 208 has 50L as well).

@StephenButlerOne 7 жыл бұрын

Wow that's an issue, I went from a laguna, that done high 50 mpg combined, with a 76 liter tank, to a GTC that has averaged from new 17k miles, 34.8mpg with a 56liter tank, and it's a pain in the arse. I'm currently looking at the Leon ST FR 2.0l 184bhp, and was hoping to be getting closer to 45mpg combined and back to a 75l6liter tank. Ive got over the specs again and again, and again for good measure, and never once took in the tank just assuming the estate tank would be on par with my old laguna estate. I suppose ill get over that, but I could go from North Wales to Paris with out a fill up in the Laguna, the GTC will just reach the ferry if it's taken easy. Which I did this summer. Just. Had to fuel up in Dunkirk, straight off the boat.

@AntoineFRS 7 жыл бұрын

That's interesting. Well for my Leon, I'm currently averaging 38mpg (over 8.000km) so it's still good enough and I don't have to stop at the petrol station all the time. I was in the Paris motorshow talking to a Vauxhall guy (Opel guy I should say) and I learned that the new Astra got... a 48 liter fuel tank... car manufacturers are getting ridiculous... I'm pretty sure that petrol companies are on the same page with car companies... to make drivers stop more often (or at least, not less than before)

@StephenButlerOne 7 жыл бұрын

Wow. I suppose the astra isn't a rep class mobile, so you could argue it doesn't need a 70l tank. However it would annoy me, as when I'm not doing lots of miles i like to visit the pump once a month. I'm lazy in that way. The cynic in me would say they are reducing the tank to save wight and artificially bump their emissions stats. What is worse than the reduction in tank size, is they are stopping making the GTC. the chassis they have on that is superb, it's why I choise the 2015 one I got last September. But now we need somthing bigger and the Leon st FR ticks all the boxes of both the practicality of the laguna estate we had for years, and the fun of the GTC we currently own. Just wish I figured that out 12 months ago!

If your requirement is neither for a 'fire-eating dragon', nor for a 'flame-thrower', but just for a nice-looking, roomy, comfortable car that can deal competently with all your varied A to B requirements, then the 1.2 petrol, 105 bhp version (which I have) seems identical in all important respects to the FR version described here. All the dashboard elements, boot space, sat nav, even the cubby hole/arm rest thing between the two front seats, all the same. Perhaps the FR version displays flamboyant red stitching on its seats, but that is just vanity. And why was someone standing over the car with a watering can in this video? Call me a spoilsport, but I require my car to be a car - not a beast.

Would't change my Leon for any BMW or Mercedes. Leon is way sexier. I don't care at all if BMW or Mercedes have more reputation or class. Some people won't understand it. Leon will be still the sexiest.

You're not the first person to say that, why do you prefer it Ross?

I prefer the new polos to the golf's, the golf got big and fat . The Polo fits it shape and proportions better than the recent golf's. Polo gti is closer to the original golf gti in both size and feel. I'm a fan. To small for me, but if I was in the hot (ish) hatch market and younger, I'd get the Polo over the golf.
