SEAT Leon Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2009–2013) — Second Generation Restyling
The restyled second-generation SEAT Leon keeps the sporty five-door hatchback shape but sharpens its face and cabin details, pairing everyday practicality with a range of petrol and diesel powertrains suited to city and motorway driving alike.
Each SEAT Leon engine here drives the front wheels, so the choice is mainly about fuel and gearbox. The 2.0 petrol pairs with an automatic, the 1.6 diesel with a manual for frugal mileage, and the 1.8 petrol uses a robotic DSG transmission for quick, smooth shifts.

SEAT Leon trim levels sit on top of the mechanical version rather than replacing it. The 1.2 petrol manual, for instance, is offered as Reference and Reference Copa, where the same drivetrain carries different comfort, styling and convenience equipment, so compare features within one engine before choosing.
