Is the Seat Leon Cupra 280 4wd?
All bulging biceps and attitude, the Leon Cupra has us all in a bit of a spin. The previous Leon Cupra 280 was an absolute belter of a car and makes a great used buy. This latest Cupra though, takes things a stage further – and gets four wheel drive if you order it in ST estate guise.
Does a Seat Leon Cupra have a turbo?
The SEAT Leon Cupra hatchback is powered by the Volkswagen Group’s tried and tested EA888 2.0-litre TSI turbo petrol engine. Tuned to 286bhp in the hatchback or 296bhp in ST models, the engine is so smooth and pulls hard from low down.
Is the Seat Leon Cupra 290 a good car?
There’s not a lot wrong with the 290: it’s fast, desirable and easy to live with, plus it packs plenty of punch and makes you smile every time you get behind the wheel. While you’ll never regret buying one, you may wonder whether the fast Ford would have been a more accomplished all-rounder.

The Seat Leon I’m living with is the Cupra 280, which comes complete with a 276bhp petrol engine. My previous car was also a Seat Leon, in FR trim and complete with the 1.4 TSI engine. After spending nine months with the best all-rounder in the Leon range, I was curious about the ultimate version.
Is the Leon Cupra R the fastest front-drive ever?
No surprises here, the Leon Cupra R is one of the fastest front-drive cars ever, and fast front-drivers munch front tyres. The recent Rockingham trackday effectively did for the standard 19-inch Bridgestone Potenzas – I drove for two 20-minute sessions, maybe half of that at full speed, but the damage was done.
Is the Ford Cupra a good motorway ride?
The Cupra’s ride might be slightly firm over really bad road surfaces, but there was no problem with the motorway’s not-always-perfect finish. In fact, my eyes even lit up at the sweeping country roads north of Bolton.
