New Seat Leon modernised with latest Volkswagen techVW Group member gains digital interior and electrified engines from Golf Mk8 to make Thai-made players look outdated. Although the Spanish offshoot of Europe’s largest carmaker has given the fourth-gen Leon an evolutionary appearance, it has extended the latest in technology under the skin. Together with the Golf and Octavia, the Leon has technology to make hatchbacks in the Thai C-segment look old-fashioned. The best effort the Thai VW importer did with the Golf in the past was with a circa-150hp engine retailing for over two million baht. Also due at that time is Audi’s all-new A3, the last hatch of the VW Group to gain the latest in C-segment tech.
