Seat Leon 2012
Production year: 2012
No. of produced cars: Information not available at the moment.
The third generation of the León is based on the Volkswagen Group’s latest MQB platform. Compared to the previous generation, the León Mk3 is shorter by 5 cm and lighter by up to 90 kilograms; however, because its wheelbase has been extended by 5.8 cm, it has a roomier cabin with greater shoulder room for the front and rear passengers, more rear legroom and 380 litres of boot space. The first official information and pictures of the car were released in July 16, 2012, while it got its public debut only a few months later, at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, in September. That makes Leon the second car to be based on the MQB platform.
