It's been a while since this video was released, but 2 year old Leons are coming on to the second hand market for a decent price. I think my next car will be one of these until EVs have better range and the charging infrastructure improves. For the moment, it's the best of petrol/electric.
Thanks for such a thorough review. Really helpful a and informative. One of the best reviews I have seen so far. The Leon hybrid is definitely a contender for my next car.
Truuuu, the Leon was always the better looking option to the Golf. The only thing that looked better than a SEAT now is a Citroën, and a DS, and a Peugeot. Abd definitely the new Opel Mokka.
A good review but excuse me, it's a Spanish car manufacturer (with Spanish names and pronunciation) hence it's a 'Say-at' not a 'See-at' and the model is a 'Lay-on' not a 'Lee-on' Ta
How about braking performance. Hybrids tend to use regenerative braking to power up batteries as this might rob out some of its feel and precision. The electric petrol transition is another area where it feels odd. It's not clearly mentioned about how it feels during drives. No real world fuel economy was tested for this car. All the purpose of a hybrid is superior economy the manufacturer may claim 40mpg etc . But for a hybrid the highway economy is poor and city is higher. What can be an achievable mpg for this car. How much does it go in a full tank fuel with full charge? When it's compared to a full tank fuel in a petrol car with similar performance the advantages may be more clear. Unfinished review.
As mentioned in the video: "It’s perhaps more useful to know that the petrol engine will still manage roughly 40-45mpg when the battery has run out". Hope that helps!
