Will be launched next year.
Contrary to reports, the 2017 Seat Leon didn't premiere at the Paris Motor Show, but Seat confirmed at the venue that the model will be introduced next year. Days after this announcement, almost undisguised spy shots of the 2017 Seat Leon Cupra (facelift) from Europe have been uploaded on decoches blog.
The 2017 Seat Leon Cupra (facelift) features tweaked headlamps, reshaped bumper, wider radiator grille, shortened air dam and redesigned side air intakes. At the profile, the door mirrors appear new and the rear-end sees minor updates with a new bumper and tweaked taillamp graphics.
The interior of the facelifted Seat Leon Cupra is yet to be seen. Changes may include new trim and upholstery, mood lighting and a new infotainment system.

In the current highest specification, the Seat Leon Cupra is powered by a 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that delivers 290 hp at 5,900-6,400 rpm and 350 Nm of torque at 1,700-5,800 rpm. Transmission choices include 6-speed manual and 6-speed DSG.
With the facelift, the output could be dialed up to 300 hp, while the 6-speed gearbox could be replaced by the 7-speed gearbox.
