The #cupra Leon is a key pillar of the standalone brand and is leading the charge as #cupra shifts to an electrified future. Last year, the king of Leons was born electrified as the first version launched to the market was the e-HYBRID powertrain.
The start of production of the 204PS #cupra #leonehybrid – joining the 245PS e-HYBRID variant – marks the acceleration of the change to alternative powertrain technology and shows that electrification and performance are the perfect match, delivering the optimum balance between dynamics and efficiency.
“The #cupra #leonehybrid is destined to become an incredibly important vehicle for the brand as we head towards an electrified future,” said Wayne Griffiths, President of #cupra and SEAT. “The #cupra Leon will help double the brand’s overall sales volume in 2021. And our ambition is that the #cupra Leon plug-in hybrid variants account for more than half of the model sales this year.”
The 204PS #cupra #leonehybrid is the next stage of the brand’s electrification. At its centre is a 150PS (110kW) 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine, linked to a 115PS (85kW) electric motor with power stored in a 13kWh lithium-ion battery pack. In combination the system provides 204PS (150kW) of peak power and 350Nm of torque.
The powertrain output is delivered smoothly thanks to the six-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, allowing for eco-conscious performance. The #cupra #leonehybrid reaches 100km/h in just 7.5 seconds, with a top speed of 220km/h.
And when pace isn’t a necessity the driver can use the vehicle’s electric-only range of up to 63km based on the official WLTP test cycle to glide through urban streets. When the battery needs recharging, it can be done in as little as three and a half hours using a 3.6kW Wallbox (or around five hours from 230V domestic plug).
Thanks to its mix of combustion and electric, tailpipe emissions are just 26-29g/km based on the WLTP.
Available in both 5-door and Sportstourer, the 204PS #cupra e-HYBRID joins the 245PS e-HYBRID variant and enters production this week at the brand’s Martorell headquarters.
It’s an important milestone for the standalone brand, bringing CUPRA’s number of plug-in hybrid vehicles to six: two #cupra Leon 5-Door, two #cupra Leon Sportstourer and two #cupra Formentor options (204PS and 245PS).
