Thebutton inthe centre console that’s normally responsible for starting the engine is instead dedicated to disabling the traction control, whichisa fairly bold statement of intent.

With two SUVs and a hatchback having already received the bronze badge and big power treatment, Cupra’s transformation into Seat’s go-faster sibling brand continues unabated.Now it’s the turnof the Leon Estate.
Sporting a lowered stance, bespoke exterior styling, quad exhaust pipes and liberal use of copper accents, the Cupra cuts a meaner figure than the equivalent Seat, but one that can still claim some semblance of subtlety.
