The story

The SEAT León (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈse.at leˈon]), also spelled Leon in some markets, is a small family car built by the Spanish car manufacturer SEAT since October 1999. It is named after the city of León (which also means "Lion" in Spanish).

The first two León generations used two differing variants of the Volkswagen Group A platform, and shared many components with other Volkswagen Group cars. The third and fourth generation use the Volkswagen Group MQB platform, also used by the Audi A3 Mk3 and Mk4, Volkswagen Golf Mk7 and Mk8 and Škoda Octavia Mk3 and Mk4.

Its place in the line

Its family tree is legible: it took over from the SEAT Ronda; assembly was at Martorell, Catalonia. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Škoda Auto Škoda Fabia, the BMW X5, the Honda S2000 — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the SEAT catalogue sit the SEAT 124 and the SEAT 133.
