Cupra’s unorthodox approach to the Australian market is deliberate, and perhaps best exemplified by the newest addition to the Leon range - the Leon Sportstourer VZe.

This plug-in hybrid warmed-up wagon has few direct rivals and pushes against the modern trend for SUVs.

Priced from $69,990 (plus on-road costs) the Leon Sportstourer VZe comes equipped with 19-inch black and copper alloys, LED headlights and tail-lights, a power tailgate with handsfree opening and black roof rails. Inside it gets leather-appointed sports seats, heated front seats and steering wheel, tri-zone climate control, native navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus the 12-speaker Sennheiser stereo.

The Leon VZe Sportstourer is powered by a 200kW/400Nm plug-in hybrid system, which combines a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with an electric motor and 20kWh battery. This allows for a claimed fuel economy of just 0.4L/100km as well as up to 121km of electric-only driving range.

Like all Cupra models, the Leon S is covered by a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty. Servicing is required every 12 months/15,000km, whichever comes first, and Cupra is offering a servicing pack special until the end of 2025, of $1990 for five years.

Steve has been obsessed with all things automotive for as long as he can remember. Literally, his earliest memory is of a car. Having amassed an enviable Hot Wheels and Matchbox collection as a kid he moved into the world of real cars with an Alfa Romeo Alfasud. Despite that questionable history he carved a successful career for himself, firstly covering motorsport for Auto Action magazine before eventually moving into the automotive publishing world with CarsGuide in 2008. Since then he's worked for every major outlet, having work published in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Drive.com.au, Street Machine, V8X and F1 Racing. These days he still loves cars as much as he did as a kid and has an Alfa Romeo Alfasud in the garage (but not the same one as before... that's a long story).
