    “We are enormously pleased with the result and would like to thank auto motor und sport readers for their excellent choice” declared SEAT president Erich Schmitt during the award ceremony in Stuttgart. “This victory once more demonstrates how convincing the SEAT León concept is. In both the Ecomotive version, whose fuel consumption has been optimised, and the powerful, athletic Cupra version, this sporty compact combines dynamic driving and fuel economy at the highest level.”

    SEAT is offering the León with a complete, attractive range of choices. It features five trim levels – Reference, Style, Sport-up, FR and Cupra, including such standard elements as ABS and TCS, ESP with EBA emergency braking, low tyre pressure warning, twin front airbag, side and head airbags, Isofix anchoring points, air conditioning and MP3 CD radio with aux-in, among others.

Winning the manufacturers’ title has been a tremendous success for SEAT, as well as the victory in the drivers’ category for French born Yvan Muller.
