Yeah that's because the hybrid versions where manufactured first but slowly they finally will deliver the 300ps and 310ps St Leon. I think we will see more reviews in a few weeks.
yea me too! was waiting for a leon cupra petrol engine review. thought this was announced in late 2019 early 2020? but no reviews till 1 year later... finally there's one!
Ive been a golf fanboy my whole life,ive got a golf 7,but this cupra is in every way better than the new golf,cheaper,better looking,buttons at least on the steering wheel,has a spare tyre.Great job Seat
@@xIcarus227 I do know that but when you look at cupras interior it’s better cause it has a better quality like copper and stuff and looks better in my opinion that why prefer over the gti too cause gti interior feels a bit more cheaper than a Dacia sadero so
I had a SEAT Ibiza for as my first car and I just loved it to bits. Stearing was spot on and cornered at my desired speed. Having a SEAT in South Africa also felt special coz they are really unique on the roads. If only I can have this new Cupra 🤤
I love the Cupra copper logo, accents and even the interior aesthetics. Quite tempted by the Formentor and I never thought I’d see the day when I’d consider getting an SUV!
Amazing review of an amazing car. I increasingly feel that car journalists are out of touch with "ordinary" cars, having had their opinions skewed by driving supercars and hypercars every other day, but Rory nailed this! I have test driven this car and this review echoed my experience in almost every aspect. I have now placed an order for one it is so good.
Why would anyone prefer a GTI over this Cupra? It looks better, better value for money. Oh wait, depreciation... Thank you for another splendid review Rory!
Finally! 🎉 I was looking for a Cupra Leon 300 hp review. But the reviews are not in english/spanish. I understand shit and there are no subtitles. Thank you amigo 🇲🇽
That looks gorgeous.... I've got a 280 dsg cupra which I absolutely love and I got it for a steal... honestly can't see me owning anything other than cupras for a long time... Good review
To me the Leon has always been a nice looking car. I’m on my second one now. Unfortunately not the firebreathing Dragon as shown in this video. I think I might have to start putting the lottery on! Great video as always 👍🏽😀
Wow, what a nice review! I Like the Style of the Guy, He ist challenging and honest, Sometimes too diplomatic at the end. Happy that i found this Video and will follow. Good Job, cool guy
Such a beautiful car it makes me want one almost as if it was designed 4 me.. minus a few technical stuff. But please let me express 1 more thing: I've been watching car reviews for several decades, and let me humbly claim that Rory is one of the *very best* reviewers ever. Not kidding.
Good god Cupra needs to bring their cars to the US, things like the Formentor wouldn't be able to sit on the lot for more than a day before being snatched up.
For me, the only rivals to this is the A35. They did a fantastic job, I never thought I would consider a seat in my top car wish list ever, I'm eager to see what they will bring in the coming years.
Why do people always compare this with the GTI? This absolutely destroys the GTI. It should be compared to a Golf R. The last cupra beats the golf R in a rolling race because of the 4wd in golf R, I've done it so many times 😂😂😂 only time will tell how good it is. Cupra is always underrated
Every hot hatch that comes to the market is compared to the GTI or R because it lays the benchmark for this class. it has done for 40 + years.VW could make the GTI or the R a lot faster.why would they when they make the RS3. the seat or cupra will never be as good as the GTI .how do we know.take a look around you. they do not even bother trying to sell them where i live.the brand would not sell!,
@@evaristocorripio5434 Sorry thiz car is not even a comparision to my GTI Clubsport MK7, esp in carbon steel grey metallic & tinted windows + the mods.
I'm from Canada where we have a ton of Golfs and Cupra doesn't exist but tbh I kinda wish it was the other way around, the styling of this looks way cooler
Wow I like this a lot. Not sure on the looks of the new seat Leon but this new cupra looks very good. Not sure why they gave you a European spec car though 🤣 hopefully we don’t get some ugly wheels and boring colours
@@johnguidetti5839 the looks,the Golf 8 for me is just ugly,same thing for the S3. I would totally get the previous versions of both the Golf and the Audi. I never liked the previous seat Leon
I love the copper accent. It's so refreshing to see a car with non black/chrome accents
Das racist.
@ lool
Until you see it in real - especially wheels, which looks like rusted
@@senseitbk no they don’t
I saw a Range Rover Evoque with bronze/copper trim,, and it stopped looking ugly.
AT LAST! A review on youtube, you must be the only one who has reviewed this car on youtube. The one they all reviewed is the hybrid version....
I believe Carwoow did it..
@@afghanniaz1929 No
i was waiting for this review for months... AT finally did it... i’m very impressed with leon 300 ps

You can get a spare tyre for Golf too, and you can get a Seat without one.
Honestly half of a milli. Rory always great but the camera and edit team we too need to congratulate you all. Trader gang 4eva😄
That blue paint and copper wheels look great!
That cupra symbol is very cool. Congrats on 500K!
I love Throttle House! I need to hear a "I'm James" And "I'm Thomas" every week!
It looks like from the symbol puzzle from Resident Evil 4 where you spin a globe inside a door to open it.
that symbol looks like some random temporary tattoo included in a 90s teenager magazine....
Huge fan of Throttle House
Is not.Looks like dark gold. Gold always looks bad.
500k finally. I'll continue telling car nuts about this channel. Keep up the good work Rory. Love from Ghana🇬🇭
Oh so I'm not the only Ghanaian here
I really can't get over how much I love AutoTrader reviews, proper car reviews and wicked personality
That Cupra symbol is straight up Decepticon. Very cool
Rory is hands down the best car reviewer on YT
Doug DeMuro might agree
I think so too. Although there are several close seconds..
Doug Demuro and TheStraightPipes disagree.
Rory Reid is such a captivating speaker
- student who's had online classes for about 1,5 years now
Love how happy you look when driving the Cupra......it does have that effect. I am always smiling when driving my 290.
I actually prefer this over the golf
Me too
@@joshumone3301 or a Hyundai I30 N, that thing is cheaper and has a proper warranty.
@@dragospahontu but quality, looks and tech wise the Cupra is better so I prefer this
@@joshumone3301 I think you're overestimating the interior quality in VAG's latest products. That i30's interior is more than fine.
@@xIcarus227 I do know that but when you look at cupras interior it’s better cause it has a better quality like copper and stuff and looks better in my opinion that why prefer over the gti too cause gti interior feels a bit more cheaper than a Dacia sadero so
Big up Rory and the Autotrader team on 500k subs.
A very well deserved achievement 👏🏽
Sideways Sidney!
Rory has been a god send to Autotrader public recognition.
One of the best reviews on that car so far. Founded, honest and soberly. Bravo!

The GTI looks better ? What are you high or something ? 😂
@@Joshua-uq9zw He said that this looks better than the GTI!
Only GTI lovers buy the GTI, this Cupra is so much better and cheaper
These hold their money well, and seat will discount a lot more than VW will anyway. Often VW wont discount at all, seat will by 10% minimum.
I wish we could get this in the states.
Finally! 🎉

Thank you amigo 🇲🇽
I like the interior lighting feature that let's you know there's someone in your blind spot - much better than the tiny lights in the side mirrors.
Love Cupra, I've got a 2020 ST 300 and love it sooo much, going to stick with Cupra for the next few years.
Looks really stunning, specially the interior
That looks gorgeous.... I've got a 280 dsg cupra which I absolutely love and I got it for a steal... honestly can't see me owning anything other than cupras for a long time... Good review
Superb review by a superb reviewer. Haven’t looked at auto reviews in a while and this chap is really great.

Love the look of this, looking forward to a review of the Cupra Born, I just hope they give it enough power.
Big up Rory, another top review and big up Auto trader, no ads and marketing wow🙌💪🏽💯

This is one of the most appealing cars on the market out now. I just can't describe it but the new Leon has really captivated me since I first saw it.
Another day another Rory review!
Copper is a fantastic colour to use as an accent. It looks sporty while also mature. I say that and I own a Misano Red Audi S4 :P
Really good review - Thanks Rory and the AT team
Just ordered this car. Never had anything above a standard 1.6 so looking forward to it 🚘
Finally the review i so long waited for
Thanks rory 👍
A great review, Rory - and that's no stretch of the imagination...! ;-)
Rory is the man! Great review and I love the Cupra, that colour and wheels are fantastic.

Another nice review giving us the info we need Rory 😊👍🏾
Most unique exterior colors i've seen in a long time
Rory you’re an asset to this team 👍
Trader Gang on..deck 💯🔥🔥
Excellent review yet again 👍🏴
That matte-navy/teal blue is FIRE!!!
Hopefully we’ll see this model in Australia when Cupra launches here in 2022.
i hope i love this instead of the golf
For me, the only rivals to this is the A35. They did a fantastic job, I never thought I would consider a seat in my top car wish list ever, I'm eager to see what they will bring in the coming years.
I think they will put something juicy in 2 to 3 years i think a 500hp car
A35 is inferior.
Great leon review. We bought the Leon FR first edition and love it !
I love the infotainment system! I don't know if it has anything to do with my age (31) but that looks intuitive and... is very cool!
Nice one Rory! OFF TOPIC: when you gonna do a full review of an Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio?
It’s old news unfortunately
Stick a stage 1 remap on this and you flying!!!
Definitely getting one. Well, I've been a fanboy since the MK1 back in 2003!
I love this and also the seat estate in black paint and bronze wheels and mirrors with about 300bhp when traffic cops use them you know they are good.

@@tredfxman each to their own
Cracking looking car. I like it. Shame there's no manual box. Good review.
What a good review, thanks!
Stunning looks with a unique copper touch all over! Even the ambient light is kinda copperish
It looks beautiful and more aggressive than the new golf and 2021 fabia!
So it's not bad... "By any stretch of the imagination"? 😂 Great vid though guys
Three or four times I think?
Amazing vid tho
Bro. Millennials are designing cars now. We grew up playing Need for Speed Underground and Carbon. That car represents our generation. Loved it.
I'm from Canada where we have a ton of Golfs and Cupra doesn't exist but tbh I kinda wish it was the other way around, the styling of this looks way cooler
The copper is very nice on the rims but it's already been curbed 😭😭 1:38
8:50 who tf has scratched those brand new wheels already 😔
Love my Cupra Leon! It does everything well
That matte blue paint looks really good with the copper accents
500k 👏👏👏👏
The exterior looks nice. The interior looks blunt.
It is a sin that this channel isn't at 1 million
Rory is another great journalist, by every stretch of the imagination. Subbed.
Greetings from Spain! I love Rory reviewing a car with Spanish plates.
He's even got the medioambiental sticker B from the DGT Lol
VW need to start fitting Brembo brakes to performance Golfs.
Very good review mate. Covered a lot. 👍
Amazing Review Thank You So Much
I liked the old Seat Cupra better. I had one with chiptuning with 355 hp.
Have a shot everytime Rory says the word "Copper"
That steering wheel with those copper accents look phenomenal. The whole car is beautiful. I think I would prefer this over the GTI.
Great reviews, you and Matt are ace
Rory. Best motoring journalist going, top gears loss.
Nope, Matt from carwaw is No1 with by this geeza a close second..
@@wezzman1 Jeremy from TopGear is the best motoring journalist lol... these guys are too new.

Great video, very informative.!
I love, love, love Seat styling. And those copper wheels.....pure wheel porn. Such a shame that those of us in SUV-land can’t get these.
In any stretch of imagination :-)
congradulation for 500k subs ,you can get 1M
Nice review!
Looks so Nice. Shame about the lack of physical buttons and the new shitty VW infortainment experience... dealbreaker for me.
Okay, I'm just gonna say it... Cupra is 10x more pretier then the Golf.
You havent seen my GTI Clubsport MK7 shown on my channel then..
Congrats on 500k subs 👏❤
Absolutely love it. I'll pay 50 grand more to send it to the states with right hand drive.. same color
I think it has different is always good
Wow I like this a lot. Not sure on the looks of the new seat Leon but this new cupra looks very good. Not sure why they gave you a European spec car though 🤣 hopefully we don’t get some ugly wheels and boring colours
What a Beast! Nice video as well
Congrats on 500k! 👏
The Seat/Cupra jokes are wafer thin now 👍
I don't understand why reviewers lose so much time explaining what Cupra is and the difference between it and Seat.
@Lee Shaun Nah still don’t understand why you would get a Seat cupra over a GTI clubsport/R or S3…
