The versatile SEAT Leon is on the scene. With the inclusion of the ST 4Drive variations, its offer is now extended by the Spanish manufacturer's successful range with new models equipped with all-wheel drive. When you add this to the well-recognized efficacy, functionality, operation and sportiness the Leon ST is known for, the result is a real winner of versatility.

That is not initially a SEAT Leon features all-wheel drive ability. Back in 1999, the 1.8 20VT 4 Leon form joined outstanding functionality with the additional advantage of all-wheel grip. Today, the most versatile ST variants of the new Leon variety are equipped with the fifth generation Haldex system. It uses a hydraulic actuator and an integrated electronic control unit which is not slow -acting in all driving scenarios for dynamics and additional aggressive security. Additionally significant is that it works in tandem with the XDS self locking differential, which improves traction and managing around curves, giving outstanding grip in a variety of driving conditions to the new Leon ST 4Drive.

The four wheel grip featured on the Leon ST 4Drive is part of the powertrain -speed manual TDI engines that develop 150 PS outcome and 105. Both engines combine astonishing efficacy and exceptional performance. The 105 PS 1.6 TDI uses up an average of just 4.5 litres for every 100 kilometres with emissions of 119 g/km.

Farther elective hi tech characteristics include complete- ACC adaptive cruise control with city emergency brake function, LED headlamps, drowsiness discovery and the Heading Control lane-keeping helper.

The inclusion of an all-wheel drive powertrain will not reduce in any way the qualities and functionality of the SEAT Leon ST, and will not even change the enormous load capability of the freight space, which stays at 587 litres that expands to 1,470 litres with the rear seats folded. On some variants the front passenger seatback may also be folded, raising the loading span to up to 2.67 metres.

Also, the new SEAT Leon ST 4Drive can also be made as the remaining range with the same high degree of infotainment and gear abilities. The variation powered with the 1.6 TDI engine is accessible with Design trimming while the 2.0 TDI is accessible with both Fashion and FR gear lines.

The permanent all-wheel drive in the new Leon ST 4Drive is one of the most modern and efficient systems of its type in this section. SEAT uses the fifth generation -plate clutch with electronic control and hydraulic actuation. Jointly with the self locking XDS differential that is electronic, the system responds quickly in all driving conditions.

In standard functioning, the clutch carries most of the engine power. Should their grip fall, the torque is redirected in a matter of a couple of milliseconds to the wheel supplying the most grip, or to the back and easily. When rapid acceleration or high starting torque is needed, engine torque is transferred to the back axle, while torque is delivered to reduce fuel consumption. Also, just the front axle has grip during parking manoeuvres that are normal.

The fifth generation Haldex coupling system works in collaboration with the electronic self locking XDS differential. The extent of its electronic equipment was expanded to contain not only and low traction states acts on the front axle but on the back at the same time. The XDS carries more grip to the external wheels when negotiating a curve. Also, like pulling away on snow or ice in low grip states, XDS and Haldex deliver power to the wheel with better traction or to the back axle.

All the versions feature trailer stabilisation in the ESC, which operates in combination with the steering, one characteristic which may be convenient to motorists with this unique necessity that is driving.

The capacity of the fuel tank has grown to 55 litres, supplying the same range that was substantial as its front wheel drive sibs. The chassis features a committed back axle with insulating material that is special and distinct suspension standings to ensure exactly the same degree of relaxation as on the two-wheel drive variants. While no changes are made to the freight space volume the spare tyre stays undamaged the overall weight is just 124 kg more with this version.

Latest generation TDI engines are chosen to drive the new SEAT Leon ST 4Drive. Besides their extraordinary efficiency and functionality degrees that are excellent, both engines are perfect for the additional demands of the intelligent all-wheel drive system. Their high torque enables them to provide essentially the exact same functionality, consumption and discharges as the two-wheel drive variants.

It have just 4.5 litres on average for every 100 kilometres of driving. Unlike the two-wheel drive variants equipped with this engine and a five-speed gearbox, the 4Drive models feature a six-speed manual gearbox that's fitting for the heightened needs of all-wheel drive.

Also, the internal friction of the engine has been further optimised - a crucial variable in the continuing development of efficacy. Evidence with this is the CO2 emission amount, which stands at just 119 g/km.

The 2.0 TDI is from the very latest engine generation with sensible thermal management and reduced friction. Two balance shafts ensure smoother running. This engine also features a decreased emission rate of just 124 grams/km.

Among the most important facets of the SEAT Leon ST is its proportions that are harmonious yet exciting. It perfectly combines the dynamics of the remaining range, but with the inclusion of an even more spacious and practical interior. It's an ideal vehicle to adapt the 4Drive variants equipped with all-wheel drive.

The side view of the SEAT Leon ST 4Drive shows a balanced connection between glass and metal surfaces - the perpendicular percentage of glass to bodyshell is one to three. This clear section underscores the genteel position of the automobile and accentuates the solidity. The little taper of the side window surfaces towards the back emphasises the feeling of spaciousness, which may be further improved by the panoramic glass roof that is optional. The typical roof railing accentuates the soothing tension of the roofline.

The additional 27 centimetres added to the back bring the absolute span to 4.535 metres and point towards the ample bag space within, while the low back windscreen and muscle shoulders emphasise the car's dynamic nature. As mentioned earlier, despite the inclusion of all-wheel drive to the 4Drive variations, they're still practical and extremely open. Also, specific versions also can accommodate extra-long loads the front passenger seat backrest, giving a maximum span of 2,67 metres.

The new SEAT Leon ST 4Drive versions can be recognised by the emblem that was special mounted on the back hatch on the model identification and the gear knob.

The SEAT Leon ST 4Drive can be found in three variants - the version equipped with the 1.6 TDI engine screens Style trimming, while the 2.0 TDI powered variants are made either with Fashion or the sporty FR trimming amounts.

Each Leon ST 4Drive Fashion features an entire list of standard equipment that contains seven airbags (2 front, 2 side, 2 headbags kneebag), ESC, XDS, ABS

Along with the normal gear, there's additionally an extensive variety of relaxation and security possibilities for the new SEAT Leon ST 4Drive. They contain light and rain sensors, electrical panoramic roof, complete LED headlamps, front and rear parking sensors, the SEAT Sound System and the navigation system.
