This is the mid-life facelift of the SEAT’s flagship performance car, the Leon Cupra, which is available as a three-door SC, five-door hatchback or five-door ST (estate).

There have been two major issues for the SEAT Leon Cupra. The first is the presence of the VW Golf R and second that the current car can’t cope with all its power being sent to the front wheels.

Well, the playing field has now been levelled as the Cupra ST with a DSG gearbox now gets the four-wheel drive as standard.

The 2017 updates also include a new bumper design at the front with tweaked front headlights and rear taillights.

Inside there’s a new 8.0in (from 6.5in) infotainment touchscreen with fewer buttons to clean up its appearance as well as an electronic handbrake.

Prices start from £30,155 and rise to £34,485 for this range topping version.
