Cupra Leon 2026 Speed

Cupra is a performance brand so has claimed 0-100km/h time for all Leon variants. The Leon S takes 8.7 seconds, the Leon Sportstourer VZe 7.3 seconds and the Leon VZx is the quickest at 5.7 seconds.

Cupra Leon 2026 Engine

The three Cupra Leon models all feature a different powertrain, as each is targeting a distinctly different buyer.

The Leon S is powered by a 110kW/250Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with mild-hybrid assistance. 

The Leon VZx has 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that makes 221kW/400Nm.

The Leon VZe Sportstourer is a plug-in hybrid, powered by a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine paired to an electric motor to make 200kW and 400Nm.

Cupra Leon 2026 Boot Space

Interior space in the Cupra Leon hatch and Sportstourer are similar, but the real difference is the cargo capacity. The hatch offers 344L (or 888L with the rear seats down), while the Sportstourer has a more generous 470L/1045L.
