  • JE Design Seat Leon SC – 210HP and 430Nm

    JE Design has announced their latest project based on the 2013 Seat Leon SC. The hot hatchback gets styling and performance upgrades as well.

    The 2.0 liter TDI is boosted to 210HP (154 kW) and 430Nm (317 lb-ft) of torque – an increase of 26HP and 50Nm. 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 228 km/h (142 mph). The entire performance boost from JE Design is available for €1,990.

    The tuning company also offers an aerodynamics package in carbon look for €1,035. The front spoiler is €417, the side skirts €357 and the rear skirt insert is €298.

    Two stainless steel tailpipes on both sides emphasize the sporty appearance. The tailpipes each have a diameter of 80 mm. The complete stainless steel muffler is €899 and has an EC approval.

    Other goodies are a set of lowering springs for €237 (-30 mm); KW coilover suspension for €1,049 (from -35mm to -65mm) and adjustable rebound and compression-damping KW coilover suspension Variant 3 for €1,749.

    JE Design developed “Scorpio” type light alloy wheels specifically for the Seat Leon. They fill the wheel arches in the dimension 7.5J x 18” and a matt black finish with matt silver front. Especially for the FR-TDI, JE DESIGN has wrapped the wheels with high-performance tires in size 225/40. The complete set is sold from €839.

    There are also MULTISPOKE rims available in shadow silver, either in 7.5J x 18” (€839) or 8J x 19” with 225/35 R 19 tires (€999).

  • 2013 Seat Leon SC at the Geneva Motor Show

    Seat has announced the 3-door Leon SC, which will make its official debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March. Without compromising everyday usability, it becomes the most sporting model in the SEAT range, blending stunning looks with a functional interior – a compelling mix of excellent workmanship and premium materials, with plenty of room for all occupants.

    The 2013 Leon SC comes with a wide range of engines from 1.2-liter to 2.0 liter TSI and TDI – from 105HP (77 kW) to 180HP (132 kW).  Every one combines power with cost effectiveness, with the cleanest 1.6-litre TDI emitting less than 100 g/km CO2 with an average fuel consumption of 74.3 mpg. The top of range 1.8TSI boats 180HP and 250Nm of torque.

    Depending on the engine variant, power transmission is handled by a manual five- or six-speed gearbox, or by the compact and lightweight DSG dual-clutch automatic. It changes its six or seven gears at astonishing speeds and is exceptionally efficient. A freewheeling function is integrated into some versions to reduce fuel consumption even further.

    Just like the five-door Leon, the Leon SC is offered in S, SE and FR specifications in the UK.

    The Leon line-up will be boosted later this year by the ST Estate model.
