SEAT Leon Ecomotive car review – economy without compromise

It seems contra-intuitive; in spite of the Ecomotive bit, this model is more powerful, and runs on lower suspension than the regular 1.6 TDI Leon

SEAT Leon Ecomotive

What is it?

This is the most fuel-efficient Leon that SEAT has ever produced, boasting fuel economy of 85.6mpg and CO2 emissions of 87g/km – meaning a company car tax band of 14%.

But, it’s aiming to be a frugal car without any compromises, so SEAT has attempted to recreate as much of the Leon’s grown-up, refined driving experience in this Ecomotive model as it can. It’s based on a 1.6 TDI SE model, boasting 110hp rather than 105hp, and commands a premium of around £1000.
