The Seat Leon 2.0L FR CR TDI – or as I like to call it, the über-sensible choice for those who want to look fast while stuck behind a tractor – is a white lightning bolt that, rather mercilessly, doesn’t quite strike. With a mere 168 bhp, it’s like bringing a butter knife to a gunfight.
In the world of diesel hatchbacks, it’s practically a unicorn. Some say it’s the perfect blend of practicality and style; I say it’s the automotive equivalent of a lukewarm cup of tea – utterly forgettable.
Sure, it grips the road like a determined squirrel on a power line, but when you delve into its performance, you might find yourself wondering if it left its turbo at home.
In summary, if you’re seeking heart-stopping speed, this isn’t it. But if you want something to get from A to B without inciting a riot, well, welcome aboard! I suspect you’ll be about as thrilled as a hamster on a treadmill.
