- The Seat Leon e-Hybrid is yet another plug-in hybrid hatchback that promises the perfect blend of performance, low running costs, refinement and green credentials, including a claimed 36-40 miles of pure electric running. But how does it stack up against other cars in its class, including the latest (and more expensive) VW Golf GTE? Vicky Parrott finds out in this CarGurus UK review.

Very few in the world of reviews as honest as you are. Thank you.
Good to have you back Vicky.
A good and accurate review. It suits my lifestyle and journeys, and I like it - especially the 84mpg 'to date' average
I have the fr sport 1.0 dsg it’s amazing!!!
Good honest and professional review, thanks.
I love the reviews of this channel
I’m confused why you just made some weird noises and said yeah the voice control doesn’t work :/
You are supposed to say "Ola Ola!" (meaning 'Hello' in Spanish) but apparently it's really picky about the accent/way you say it. Those were the 'noises' she was making.
But why would you want to spend over £31,000 on this when you can just buy a petrol version for just over £20,000? - you would need to drive to the moon on the electric motor to save anything close to that.
To consider others and save the planet, maybe

@@hsvcommodore4111 it depends on how you drive. The most sustainable car is no car at all
Imagine your commute is 20km a day. If you charge the car overnight you spend zero on Petrol. ZERO. You can even programm the charge after midnight so the electricity bill is even lower..
Loved this review! The car looks decent tbh!
I agree - good review. I have one, and it's very good. A few idiosyncracies, but very useable. I'm averaging 84 mpg over the first 700 miles
Does hybrid power give you more overtaking performance?
Rear torsion beam suspension (you gotta go VW or Audi equivalent to get independent rear springs!), the voice control system doesn’t work, the hand gestures don’t work, the slider controls are not illuminated so become redundant in the dark, the infotainment system is not easy to use, a lot of the controls revert to factory default when the engine is switched off, the ride is crashy and the build quality is that of cheap plastics especially the door handles, that feel like they’re going to break. But apart from that it’s awesome.......
The four Door handles can be replaced by the upper market versions with leather grip and white stitching. They can be ordered.
The software will have had several versions since the review.
The sliders really don't matter in the dark and are hittable even by blind peraons. You use the steering wheel controls anyway to change the loudness, or the on off btn to mute.
This car has full independent suspension, only models with 150bhp or less gets torsion beam
a fantastic car, had one as a curiosity car while my 69 plate leon was in for a service, the ride is much better than on my 69 plate, didnt notice the lack of boot space
I got the plug in. Had to wait tho because of the chip shortages, and the boot space loss means you gotta chop up the body before putting it in, so that’s something to think about if your the kinda man that sets up a funeral director for his week
How’s it running for you?
@@niallwagner6283 I got rid of it, although it was a good car for my first car, I never had a problem with.
,Very good and honest review.
brutal people who don't give overcoats to the presenter.
Can at definitely do 50mpg if no charge at all ?
Are those brake lights coming on when you lift off and regenerative braking kicks in? Or did you really keep hitting the brake pedal for no reason whatsoever?
The brake lights come on when the regenerative braking is used when it brakes harder this happens between 30 to 10MPH
When you plug it in can you set the hours you want it to charge in ? Thanks
Yes you can. In both the infotainment system or in the app. I got mine 2 weeks ago, have to say the app works great. Cool is from the app you can turn the heater or the climate controls on and off (even chose temperature) (even if the car is not plugged in, it works with the internal battery)
@@Ipson83CH Thanks for the reply. Do you just use a 3pin plug ? does it charge at the full 3.1kw (240x13amps) or less ? Thanks
@@MiniEggs1999 the car has the standard type 2 connector.
Car was delivered with 2 cables:
1. Type 2 on both ends
2. 3 pin-adapter-type2
I didn’t use the 3 pin yet.. and there is no real time indication of charge Wattage anywhere 🤷🏼♂️ i cannot help...
@@Ipson83CH have you ever charged the battery using the engine? If so, how long would it take from empty to full and how much of a hit would the fuel economy take?
@@BlLLIONAlRE I tried, but it's a non sense, the fuel consumption while charging the battery is very very high. But I cannot make an precise estimation, because I never do it and also because it really depends on the Road, if it climbs or go downhill... (we don't have flat roads here where I live..)
i'd rather hear the sound of the car than any music, bt that is the fail on every youtube car test video. As soon as someone starts driving, the music comes in as unnecessary as possible.
£31,000 batteries included
I have just brought one. Can I just charge the battery up for an hour or so or do you have to full charge it.
Please help me.
Works best fully charged, obviously owning one involves extra daily planning. All batteries work best when they go through full charge cycles, you’ll cause the battery to prematurely fail otherwise
Never charge mine save it on 10% battery still flys still 40+ to gallon with my foot down brilliant car
Why keep saying there are better cars and then never mention what they are...Infuriating
Three words COMPANY CAR TAX. That's it for everything else buy a non hybrid and save yourself a fortune
Get rid of that crap infotainment system vw group
Yuo can’t
its not crap, its very smooth and works good its just a case of getting used to it, however short cut buttons would be better
Up until a few years ago I owned a 14 year old SEAT Altea 2.0 TDi from new which did late 50s MPG easily. All this time and technology later and the MPG is worse and boot space is worse. And prices higher. Don’t get how things are going backwards.
That's diesel for you. It gets bad press but it's punchy and economical. I get 50mpg daily out of my Leon ST 1.6tdi in town and that's an estate. Sometimes nearer 60 on a long run. Phevs are a bit unconvincing in general I feel as the batteries take boot space but don't give a long enough range to make up for the economy lost when the batteries do run out due to the extra weight. Nearly always petrol and petrol without hybrid will get 40-45mpg, add extra weight and that'll dip into the high 30s. You'll use no fuel initially though so that brings it up to about 50mpg. The price you pay to save the planet. For me they're just too expensive and don't make up the difference over a petrol in fuel savings. They're also complicated as you have all the complexity of a modern turbo petrol with additional battery stuff. All this to match the economy of an old diesel. Shows how efficient diesel is. In practice a non phev hybrid seems to give better economy for many.
After this went to an EVM video on how to drive a plug in hybrid. He managed 155mpg over 40 miles out of a Skoda superb plug in hybrid. But you need to know how to optimise the usage and plug it in.
50 miles per gallon you mean? This is 21 liters per 100 km. That's impossible even you drive downhill all the day and carry your car back to the departure point with a truck and drive downhill again to get same average consumption.
@@taxsi it's not. It's 4.7litres/100km which is still good.
@@paultasker7788 that 4.4 km/100km makes sense now, I put 50 miles per gallon to Google conversion and got 21lt/100km
I don't think the reviewer had any interest in this Seat. Probably more of a Audi/Volkswagen fan, like most reviewers.
Weird, I've seen several reviews where the voice command works. Don't you need to activate it before start yelling at the car in some weird language of your own invention?
I’d have a FR Sport in Dark Blue
Still have it? Reliable?
No USBs, but two USB-C?
You might have offended it with your bad spanish...
One of the best Plugin Hybrids. But underwhelming. 🤔🤔🤔
Exactly what I was thinking
Mines brilliant
@@petergreenwood6530 do you still like it? Reliable?
I’m afraid yes, your accent did’t work 🤣. Can’t you set a different key word to activate the system?
£30000.00 !!!!!
I brought one of these with 184 Miles on and got it for £24,000
@@masondesborough784 where from? I want one but dont wanna be payin list price
They are cheap second hand. So snap em up.
Why are you screaming Allah, Allah at the poor car! Are you praying or something?
Don’t see the appeal of a plug-in hybrid.
you would if you were a company car driver ;-)
She is really bad in Spanish xD
Wow could they find someone with any less personality to review this car?
yourself maybe
No USB input but there is USB C. So there is USB Input? Did anyone with a brain review this?
VW cars: For grey people! Do these buyers live in a grey house? Is their living room painted grey? Is their bedroom painted grey? Are there any other colours in the world?
Just checked the configuration options. There are none. You can choose grey cloth or.......nothing. No colours. No leather.
No USB-A (y2000) inputs, only USB-C (y2014)>
There are leather and alcantara options for the Style and FR trims.
@@Apipoulai Do you understand video? I have a comment about the video. The silly girl commentating mentioned that there are "no usb inputs". Then mentioned that there are usb inputs. Do you get it now? Has that filtered through? There are still no options for the fabrics. Each version has a fabric. There is no option! Do you understand the word "Option"?
first!
