Cupra Australia says the incoming four model range of Leon performance hatchbacks will include a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle(PHEV).
It goes on sale in July in four forms being the Leon V; Leon VZ; Leon VZe (PHEV) and VZx, with minimal options available for each variant says the distributor.
The Leon range, with the Ateca SUV and Formentor crossover, form part of Cupra’s debut Australian line-up.
Though the Leon range will be arrayed in a standard pricing structure based upon power output(details to be released in quarter two)Cupra Australia’s head of product and planning Jeff Shafer says there is no entry level variant as such.
“There is an ascending order in terms of output, but we’ve equipped all Leon models with such a level of standard equipment that no-one will feel short-changed in any version.
“With outputs ranging from 140kW/320Nm to 221kW/400Nm, each Leon has the power and torque to match its design,” he says.
