About this generation

The debut of the model in the C-segment on the PQ34 platform.

The first Leon shared its base with the VW Golf IV and Audi A3. The model immediately offered a sporty image and powerful versions, such as the Cupra R with the 1.8 Turbo engine. The car quickly became a hit due to the combination of an affordable price and VW Group technology.
