The Seat Leon X-PERIENCE

One of the reasons why SUV crossovers are gaining rapid popularity is that they tend to be very practical, agile and multi-purposes. It is the kind of car that fits the city and the country road and works just fine on both.

The SEAT Leon X-PERIENCE has been remodeled. Actually, you can hardly notice the changes on this stout-looking SUV but it has taken its game several beats higher. The 2018-2019 version is one that will give motorists a healthy response in many aspects.

The engine is unchanged. You can drive a 206-hp 2.4-liter inline-four that comes with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This version also comes with a torque converter. The choice is also expanded to 290-hp 3.5-liter V-6 whose transmission is nine-speed automatic.

One of the heralding adjustments is a ride height raised by 15 mm and a 28 mm additional ground clearance. This transforms the X-PERIENCE into an off-roader with immense potential. With a manual outfit, you can rescue another car weighing up to 2000 kg.

The tech space for the X-PERIENCE has also been significantly heaped up with rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, leather-trimmed sports seats and interior LED lighting for some trims. The SE Tech trim features 18 in. alloy wheels, adaptive LED headlights, front parking sensors, auto wipers and lights, an Alcantara upholstery and a 6.5 in touchscreen infotainment.

From one end, therefore, the SEAT is a very practical car, perhaps carrying the vision of the Spanish government to make it affordable for its population. Now the world over, SEAT is well recognized and trendy and the X-PERIENCE is helping open up its space even further.
