The SEAT LEON (2012-17) 3DR SPORT COUPE 2.0 TSI SS 280 EU6 CUPRA 280 6SPD is a sporty three-door hatchback, sitting near the hot-hatch end of the UK market. It blends everyday practicality with punchy performance, offering a more affordable alternative to rivals such as the Volkswagen Golf GTI. With a powerful petrol engine and six-speed manual gearbox, the Cupra 280 suits drivers wanting an engaging commute or weekend fun, rather than maximum rear-seat access. Its compact size suits couples and small households, while its firm, lively character and Cupra styling help it stand apart from sensible hatchbacks.
