Seat Leon IV Sportstourer 1.4 e-Hybrid: Overview

The Leon IV Sportstourer represents SEAT’s commitment to electrification and modern automotive design. The Sportstourer version expands upon the Leon’s already successful formula by providing a larger cargo area and enhanced versatility. The 1.4 e-Hybrid model is a key component of SEAT’s strategy to offer a range of electrified options, catering to increasingly stringent emissions regulations and growing consumer demand for sustainable transportation. It combines a turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor and battery pack, allowing for both all-electric driving and extended range when needed.

Engine & Performance

The Seat Leon IV Sportstourer 1.4 e-Hybrid utilizes a 1.4-liter turbocharged inline-four cylinder petrol engine paired with an electric motor. The petrol engine produces 150 horsepower at 5000-6000 rpm and 250 Nm (184.39 lb-ft) of torque between 1550-3500 rpm. The electric motor contributes an additional 116 horsepower and 330 Nm (243.4 lb-ft) of torque. Combined, the system delivers a total output of 204 horsepower and 350 Nm (258.15 lb-ft) of torque. This power is delivered to the front wheels via a six-speed dual-clutch transmission (DSG), enabling a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time of 7.7 seconds and a 0-60 mph time of 7.3 seconds. The maximum speed is electronically limited to 220 km/h (136.7 mph). The powertrain architecture is a parallel hybrid, meaning both the engine and motor can drive the wheels independently or in conjunction.

Its exterior design features a sleek and modern aesthetic, characterized by sharp lines, a distinctive front grille, and full LED lighting.
