Test Seat León Sportstourer TDI 115 CV Style (with video)

That the Seat Leon be one of the cars best sellers in our market This is not surprising, since its quality/price ratio makes it a very interesting option. Undoubtedly, despite the SUV era we are experiencing, the Seat León Sportstourer is still on the list of recommendations for its low consumption and interior space.

in today's testwe will be with him Leon Sportstourer diesel 115 hp and a six-speed manual gearbox, so we'll see if this engine is recommended for family use. The finish is the simplest, the Style, although with several extras such as the sunroof, the driver's seat with electrical adjustment or the automatic trunk lid.

An elegant and visually appealing design

Si We talk about the design of the Seat León Sportstourer, we can mention a design without so much aggressiveness, it is more traditional, that nobody dislikes. Despite this, it does have several aesthetic details that give it a more up-to-date look, something very important in these times.

At Lóleo Eventos, front part, highlights mainly a full LED optical group that we already know in the rest of the group, a black front grille with chrome trim and a bumper with aerodynamic inserts that make it very graceful to look at.

Continuing towards the lateral, we can highlight some 17 inch rims measuring 225 in profile 45, a rib on the waist that runs from end to end and roof bars in chrome color to match the door trims.

Ending with the back, we observe some optional full LED lights in this finish, which are linked together by a red stripe that lights up, the handwritten model name and a black rear diffuser.

Minimalist but technological interior

If we go inside the Seat León, we can say that it has a very minimal design, since it offers few physical buttons and everything is focused on the multimedia screen, something that not everyone may like. We found acceptable qualities with padding mainly and some hard plastic areas, but with a good fit.

About the technological section, we find a screen for the 10,2-inch digital instrument cluster very configurable and with different display modes, a detail that I always appreciate. On center screen, Is 10 inches and has integration with Apple Car Play and Android Auto wirelessly.

As I'm not too convinced is that we have to go to the screen to control the air conditioning, although we can raise or lower the temperature with touch buttons under it. The latter, at night, is a bit problematic since we have nothing to illuminate it and we will have to have faith in our intuition.

The front row seats, imitation alcantara with leather, they are really comfortable and have good lateral grip, they are heated and also have electric adjustment for the driver with memory function.

Very livable rear seats

Continuing to the second row of seats, the León Sportstourer stands out for its good space and comfort. Despite the fact that I am 1,94 meters tall and the driver's seat is adjusted to my height, I still have enough space for my knees and head, which is very positive. Another detail to highlight is that we can mount up to two baby seats.

Un negative point is that the transmission tunnel It is notable, so the space in the central square is fair, it is not very usable either due to its comfort and width. Yes, I liked that at least we have ventilation outlets with temperature control and two USB-C type sockets.

Trunk with 620 liters of capacity

If we focus on the trunk, this Seat León Sportstourer is where it has its most remarkable point, since we find nothing less than 620 liters of capacity. Its very regular shapes make it really comfortable to put objects, although it must be taken into account that the floor is somewhat low.

On the other hand, we have a retractable tray and a double bottom where we can find the subwoofer of the Beats sound system and the spare wheel.

Is your 115 hp diesel engine enough for family use?

Ya behind the wheel of the Seat León Sportstourer, we will mainly talk about whether this mechanic is feasible for a more familiar use or if it falls a little short. It mounts a 2.0-liter diesel engine that offers 115 hp and 300 Nm of torque, is accompanied by a six-speed manual gearbox and approves a consumption of 4,3 liters at 100 according to the WLTP cycle.

I have noticed that maybe for a more familiar use, go on vacation in summer heavily loaded and occupying four seats, we may be a bit short. The main reason for these conclusions is the steep slopes, since even with three adults going and without luggage, I have noticed a slight lack of power. Not that he was losing speed, but it was costing him a lot to gain it.

Removing that personal detail, it is a mechanics that although it is somewhat fair for my taste, yes It will allow you to make any trip even if you are fully loaded, but not too quickly. I think that a little more power would come in handy, like the 150 hp TDI version, although this is somewhat more expensive. About its six-speed manual gearbox, I liked it because it has a very good touch and also a short travel, something that is always appreciated.

Suspension, steering and soundproofing

If we talk about your suspension, the León Sportstourer in this Style finish, offers very good ride comfort. It is a moron that despite not being particularly sporty, keeps the car without too much rocking, even on a curved road, thanks also to its good chassis.

With regards to address, It has surprised me because it is relatively direct and informs within what fits well, it is not the address of a Cupra León, but for a 115 hp TDI I was pleasantly surprised,

Ending with the soundproofingIn general, it is good, it does not have too much aerodynamic noise thanks to its design and the rolling noise is well filtered, although its TDI engine can be seen in the passenger compartment, but nothing scandalous or uncomfortable.

Fuel consumption Seat Leon Sportstourer diesel

Without a doubt, the León Sportstourer with this 115 CV diesel engine offers some really good intakes. As I have already mentioned before, it approves 4,3 liters per 100, however, during the entire week of testing, we managed to average of 5,3 liters per 100 doing 50% highway and 50% city trips, so that's a really good figure.

About its 150 hp TDI variant, for those who are thinking about it, it will not vary much compared to this 115 hp, at most half a liter above, nothing to write home about.

Conclusions Seat Leon Sportstourer

To conclude with the test of the Seat León Sportstourer 115 hp diesel, we are going to make a summary of its positive and negative points. Mainly, it is a model with There is a good quality price relation, spacious and with the latest technology and driving aids.

Its mechanics, as I mentioned before, is suitable for any situation and use, although at certain times very punctual, it is probably a bit short. If we are looking for a little more power and strength when we go fully loaded, without a doubt I would opt for the 150 hp TDI version.
