SEAT’s new Leon Sports Tourer (ST) was officially launched today in Ireland and it promises a whole lot of boot space in the rear…

Are you currently in the market for a sporty motor with plenty of room to transport varying sizes of luggage? Then SEAT might have released the perfect motor for you…

The Leon ST has a load capacity of 587 litres, rising to as much as 1,470 litres with the rear seat backrests folded – meaning that even the big items of everyday life are accommodated in the Leon ST.

Prices for the Leon ST start at €20,185 for the 1.2L 86hp TSI, while the diesel version starts at €22,205 for the 1.6L 90hp TDI. However, if you’re looking for a little more growl under your bonnet you can also get the 2.0L 184hp TDI Leon ST in the FR trim for €29,930. Now that’s a beahst you definitely wouldn’t want to mess with.

“Irish drivers no longer have to choose between sporty and practical. The new Leon Sports Tourer offers both” commented SEAT Ireland Director, Cian O’Brien. “With its new sporty look, its high utility and its state-of-the-art technology, the Leon Sports Tourer defines a new standard in the compact estate car class at an exceptional price. Like the already highly successful Leon and Leon SC, the new Sports Tourer is the perfect representative of SEAT’s brand values”.

The Engine Room Show‘s Dave Humphreys was out test-driving the new Leon ST earlier today, so make sure to tune in to the next Engine Room Show podcast to find out how he got on.
