SEAT Leon Cupra hot hatch review - Carbuyer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 січ 2025
- High-performance versions of the SEAT Leon hatchback have always enjoyed a cult following in the UK, and the hottest-ever version of the SEAT Leon Cupra is sure to spawn its own fan club. The hot hatch has 276bhp and is known as the Cupra 280 because of its metric power output. It's available as a three- or five-door hatch, with the latter naturally being a more practical car for families.

You didn't show the centre console or the steering wheel. You usually do a good job showing everything inside, please keep on doing it.
vajkrem1 I agree, and the infotainment system is something i care about...
vajkrem1 indeed, they didn't. Which is disappointing the interior can make or kill a car for me. Does it come with an optional premium sound system, sunroof, what are the seat upholstery options, are the seats comfortable, etc.? This is really important.
LoL Mat at the end. :D:D
Love the LED lights on this - it looks so mean!
Haha thats mostly bmw cars. But yea, the front lights are alright on here
ginny you review the boring cars because:
dude + boring car= no one watches
pretty woman + boring car= people watch
thoravian XD I'd watch a review of dog shit if Mat was the one doing it.
FantomLightning So you like to watch people eat shit?
thoravian matt is cool, just I prefer watching a lady instead of a dude
thoravian Eh, I'm gay and a car guy. Mat works well in my case lol.
FantomLightning Car guy and gay? Never heard of that combo.
Ginny I think this is your best review. Was smiling all the way through it :)
Civic type R is subtle? Couldn't tell from the giant wing on the back
Ginny your comments are brilliant -your experience comes as an asset to Carbuyer- I enjoy your reviews-Fantastic review
Ginny, excellent review, hilarious introduction. Interesting car, sadly not available on this side of the pond. Keep the good work.
Still haven't gotten a look on the dashboard or steering wheel
what a great episode :D
Stunning car! All I had to say, even that color and rims, and got nice cabin and boots space, and looks so fun to drive
I am due to have a new Leon SE in September and in the same Alor Blue. Let me say the colour is stunning and no film on the net does it justice. And the test drive I had in the car was sheer delight, hopefully it will prove to be as solid a car as my current VW Polo which I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a small h/back.
I like Ginny and I also like her reviews
That end loL!
Pretty much the most perfect hot hatch out there. The only other one that I would consider owning is a focus rs when it comes out.
Wow they have you paying extra for a spare wheel now, really? What's with the electrical connections on top of the wheel in the boot too?
Crana you always paid extra for the spare wheel.that's the tire repair kit.
must be subwoofer, easy to disconnect if you ever need a wheel swap
It's the "SEAT Sound" subwoofer
No shots of the dash?
I'd like Mat to wrestle me to the ground...
FantomLightning da fuck is wrong with you XD
.............
FantomLightning hahaha if he/she is a chick i understand
bit creepy...
Matts little cameo in the end LOL! Great car .. basically a Faster golf gti with a disguised vw badge just made in Spain rather than Germany
Wrong, the engine is not from the Golf GTI. But from the Golf 7R and Audi S3 !
Exactly! Big difference there! Forged internals and k04.
That was a very pleasant review to watch. Giny, you've outdone yourself this time! You should review sports cars more often. Well done girl!!!
Was it just me, or was the time she was driving considerably more dramatic than normal? More noise, louder volume, and higher speed!
A great review on an equally great car.
Good review from lovely Ginny, maybe the best reviewer should do the family cars?
3:33 Speeds up to 31mph THIS is gonna be top of the list!
Ok, nice review overall but I always find something missing with Gina's reviews. NO FOOTAGE OF DASHBOARD or interior design! For god's sake, that's what we drivers see most of our cars!!!
Dear car buyer, I think Matt is better off doing review of smaller cars, i say this because it is better for a taller person to show off the space like legroom etc.
When rebbeca was doing reviews of small cars it didn't make sense her showing off legroom and naturally she was going to have more legroom because she is shorter.
aabidam I stand by what i said
The focus ST is not "even slower than the VW GTI"! 1:35
Yes it is.
ThePandaInfernal No it is not. It has 250hp and the standard GTI when that video was made had 220hp and is slower to 60 and slower top speed. This is not an opinion, it is fact.
Let's introduce another pattern! I personally will view only Matt's reviews on carbuyer!
If I am looking to buy this car, I appreciate the thoughtfulness of this video, otherwise I find it really boring. And a boring cast struggle to win over audience.
When will you do a review of the face-lifted Ford C-Max?
Can you guys test the Mercedes Benz a45 amg please really wanna see that
both are hot.
and that was not even the estate Cupra... even more practical
Give review of hyundai IX25/Creta
I love your reviews, have been watching them for ages now!! If I could ask for 2 things to improve them, it would be - 60fps recordings, it would just make things so much more pleasant to watch; aaand maybe a bit longer in depth reviews? I mean the BHP is in the description, but I don't think it was mentioned in the actual video ??? I'm more then happy to be watchng your reviews for 15-20 minutes !! ;]
She doesn't have a wedding ring, WOW!
Hi Guys! Can you lease do review on the Lexus GS5400? It would be great because me and my dad really want a INDEPTH review on it. The reason? because its my dads car and he really wants a review on it.
Can you review the 2015 mazda 3
Matt deserves to test cars like these though.
Great review Ginny!
I was waiting so long for this! :D Mat said only "some days" in the last Q&A video.
Good one, Ginny.
very good review well done but my choice has to be the Honda civic type r
you're not that smart then
MRsjovealek if he's not smart i don't even want to think what you are:D
MRsjovealek We have a BMW M5 and a 2003 VW polo and the polo has been reliable ever since we bought it. The BMW also has been amazing but honestly how are VW's unreliable?
I want one sooo much! the style is great
Why don't they tell us how much the car costs?
+Jez Stokes What currency would you suggest they use?
+Dahlia Man. Vietnamese Dong obviously. What a funny question!
Jez Stokes You've lost me there by your retort 'what a funny question'. Needs clarification me thinks :)
i loved this review ...... awesome as always .... and to be honest u make the boring cars look good ... and the dude gets the good cars so his efforts are less bless u both love you both :-p
That is gorgeous! Nice colour too 😍
That interior is so unforgivably dull and dated though :o( Love the ending :o)
I first thought I saw a Skoda logo at 4:47
I like top gear but when i watch this i go sleep.Power!
Every single hot hatch is the fastest on the planet
Miss the old carbuyer with mat and rebecca 😢
I seen a seat leon cupra it's very loud and fast I ear it's from a mile away..
The interior can make or kill a car for me. Does it come with an optional premium sound system, sunroof, what are the seat upholstery options, are the seats comfortable, is the centre console logically laid out, etc.? This is really important.
miss you rebbeca ..
That cheeky smile at the end though
finally she did a good review of a good car.
Great review! First video i have watched from this channel :)
+ subscribed
Hope SEAT comes to Australia, or i will have to import !
Mat just had to make his appearance! lol
I like this car bbut I really don't like the sound of 2.0 turbo engines.
Ro W yeah but it is the same to all
So, are we going to see Mats review because I stopped listening to that woman when she mentioned the red callipers.. who cares about crap like that these days?
great ending
LOVE the colour
Ideal car to drive down to Devon anyone???
When did smart fortwo become a family car?
Axel Ohlson It was a smart forfour not a fortwo.
Matt drove the fortwo
this or the 184 fr ?
184 as its about half the price of a cupra, cheep tax, and 500miles on a tank of fuel.
hehe ... this was a great one!!
And ending's epic :D
Great job Ginny
SEAT should really sell a lot more cars than they do. They make nice looking sporty cars using VW platforms without the price tag. I'd buy a Leon tomorrow.
Please do one on honda hrv(vezel).
Those seats look really good
cougar,,,,yes
About practicality, how about a ford focus st estate? Or of you want better fuel consumption, a VW Golf Variant GTD. And if you are talking about hatchbacks, the Golf is practical too. Not to mention the actual space in a Focus
4:39 made me smile for some reason :))
great review as always! sorry if it's a little annoying, but I was wondering when will you guys be doing a review of the all new Ford S Max? my family are considering getting one and we'd like to know what it's like in your experienced eyes. thanks!
When does the Review of the 500x come?
I really want to buy these cupra R alloys! Can't find them anywhere !!!
Nice job VW! Killing its own GTi... Hahaha
Different cars for different audiences.
Jose Jong The Golf have some other benefits
+eggbirdtherooster yes, and it's an absolutely magnificent machine
Jose Jong VAG group (VW) has like 10+ years plans for future that we pesants know shit about,I doubt they made that decision over night...My father was lead engineer in company that made electric wiring for Peugeot,thrust me when they wisited company in 91. they already had concept cars for 98.-early 2000. Big and sucessfull companies like these are not run by idiots.
Horses for courses, young guy -> fast cars, moms -> practical cars
Nice car and really nicely styled exterior, but the interior is just a sea of black drab - It already looks mega dated.
Seat assembled Fiat's in Spain, the only thing they changed were the badges. It isn't that great brand. The only model Seat developed in-house was the original Ibiza super-mini, no wonder the Ibiza accounts for half the sales of the brand.
With Skoda being the value proposition, it leaves Seat in limbo. The cars may be good and sporty, but . . .
Sporty doesn't sell that much, without good value or a desirable brand.
Seat needs a top designer and models that are specific to them to build their brand image.
I mean, there should be platform sharing but adding few hp's in the Cupra version and lowering the price a little won't do the trick. Seat needs another 2-3 easily recognizable models, like the Ibiza.
Especially not if the exterior design isn't sharp enough. The only way to sell a so-so designed car is by the price.
I saw some reports Seat wants to set the brand to be more appealing for women, they wanted to be Alfa, now Lancia, and neither of those brands is successful.
And the major differences between an Ibiza and a Polo are............?
Nice Leon Cupra.
Well done Ginny, great review. Just a shame you got the number of gears wrong for that auto gearbox :( Would not mind you doing more performance car reviews at all. :D
Shame the interior is like a Curry's Own-brand Hi-Fi...Although I've just spec'd one online at £42,000...It just screams cheap to me.
+Martin Allen every extra available?
Martin Allen i got my cupra 290 for 27.000 euros fully loaded. Dont know why it so expensive where you live.
looks like the typical euro box ,only Citroen have cars that don't look the same as everybody else
This car is a fucking beast!!!!!
Nice cameo guys.
it's not a Ferrari of course fuel economy is important
Nice colour
the video would be hotter if Rebecca was here :3
Came here by mistake again, still can't rmb the telegraph cars is where I watch car reviews now
nice colour
The spare wheel costs 600 € extra. That's ridiculous!
That face hahaha 1.56 I love my son I love my daughter,now thats a mom's face alright
I miss some good shots of the interieur design in this video, otherwise great job, thanks.
H😊😊
i think Matt left it to you on purpose
I gotta say, i finished this without feeling disappointed. And i expected myself to.
2009's leon was the best .
