The SEAT Leon is a hatchback that most autoevolution editors like, so we try to keep up to date with all the changes. We knew that the facelift of the 5F was going to be minor, but we were shocked to see almost nothing is changing.
These are two spy photos we found on a Spanish blog called Deco Ches. They've snapped a red 5-door with the FR body kit not hiding any of its features. That could also mean that the reveal may happen in the next weeks.
The 2016/2017 will undoubtedly be presented at the Paris Motor Show, meaning production isn't going to start for a few more months. But we can't understand why they even bothered to change the headlights.
As a fan of the Leon, I can honestly say that I preferred the old ones. Why in God's name did they have to copy the design from the Ateca, an SUV? That's like a Victoria's Secret model trying to look like her ugly sister.
I don't like the grille either. Even though this is the FR model, it looks like it's got a blocked off Ecomotive front. Maybe the angle is wrong, but it's clear that SEAT sucks at doing facelifts. First the Alhambra and now this.
New engines? Well, the FRs don't come with basic ones, but the back view suggests a rigid axle is installed. That either belongs to the 1.4 TSI or the 2.0 TDI with 150 horsepower.
In other Leon facelift news, we have a picture of the Cupra front bumper, which is almost the same as the FR. SEAT, you aren't listening at all to what people are saying!
At least the blue is a new color, but after you've seen a Cupra in neon yellow or green, nothing will excite you.
