Engine & Performance
The SEAT Leon IV Sportstourer 1.0 TSI is equipped with a 999 cc inline three-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine, designated the DLAB engine code. This engine produces 90 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 175 Nm (129.07 lb.-ft.) of torque between 1500 and 4000 rpm. Power is delivered to the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The engine features direct fuel injection and an intercooler to enhance performance and efficiency. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes 12.7 seconds, while 0 to 60 mph is achieved in approximately 12.1 seconds. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 183 km/h (113.71 mph). The engine’s power-to-weight ratio is 13.9 kg/Hp, and the torque-to-weight ratio is 7.1 kg/Nm. This powertrain prioritizes fuel economy, achieving a combined fuel consumption of between 4.7 and 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers (50-43.6 US mpg), with CO2 emissions ranging from 108 to 129 g/km, meeting EURO 6 AP emission standards.
