Cupra Leon

Running costs for your Cupra Leon will very much depend on which one you go for. We tested the top of the range, 300 horsepower petrol and, while the performance will blow you away, there is no escaping it will be an expensive car to run. Hot hatch fans will likely accept that as a fair cost of ownership, and in value terms it compares well with the Golf GTI and Audi S3 it shares its foundations with. Good news? If you like the Cupra’s style but need to keep a lid on running costs you can also have it as a plug-in hybrid, this version more or less equivalent to the similar Golf GTE but a fraction cheaper to buy. From the outside it looks just as stylish as the 300 horsepower version but the 30g/km CO2 makes it a viable pick for company drivers looking to keep a lid on Benefit In Kind costs and it’s still quick enough to be entertaining.
