SEAT Leon Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2005–2009) — Second Generation
The second-generation SEAT Leon is a compact five-door hatchback with a coupe-like roofline and hidden rear door handles, offering practical family space alongside the sharper handling the brand is known for.
The SEAT Leon engine range spans gasoline and diesel units. Diesels such as the 1.9 MT with its manual gearbox suit high-mileage drivers, while the 2.0 AT pairs diesel torque with an automatic. Gasoline versions like the 1.8 DSG use a robotic transmission for quick, smooth shifts. All these examples drive the front wheels.

SEAT Leon trim levels sit on top of the mechanical package rather than changing it. The 1.6 MT, a gasoline manual hatchback, was offered in Advance and Luxury equipment configurations, which typically differ in comfort features, upholstery, climate control and wheels.
