This is Tech in the Car and I'm driving the 2021 CUPRA Leon hatchback this is the VZ2 model
with 300 horsepower 400 newton meters of torque the CUPRA Leon hatch is a lot of fun to drive
it's fun to go into the corners it makes a good noise I heard a couple of bangs back there
which took me by surprise! I love the exhaust and this is a two liter engine
with 300 horsepower the estate has 310 so slightly more power but this is a bit easier to park
it doesn't feel quite as sharp as the estate which is a bit of a surprise if i'm honest
because the estate is a lot bigger car but still it's a really fun car to drive it's got all the
latest technology we've got a massive touchscreen display we've got a digital driver's Cockpit
we've got all the features you could want the safety features and it's just great to drive
you know if i go through the modes on this car i have absolutely no complaints whatsoever over how
i handle so right now in CUPRA mode if i change the mode to a different mode let's say we go to
comfort and in comfort the car gets a lot quieter but it doesn't feel much different to drive it's
quieter it's not quite as fast accelerate when we put it into sport the exhaust gets a bit louder
and it definitely feels a bit more precise and sport is where most people's cars live right
and then we've got our CUPRA mode which makes it a bit louder still at least inside i don't
know what it's like outside but it feels a bit louder when you look at it it says DCC CUPRA,
steering CUPRA, engine CUPRA, engine sound CUPRA I mean what does that mean like
what what does that mean i mean i understand it's the car and it's the brand but
what is a CUPRA sound a good question i don't know it's more sporty than sport that's the point
and it's very cool to have a CUPRA mode and i like that a lot the modes feel very similar in terms
of suspension and handling sharper in sport than comfort and CUPRA is sharper than sport
to drive i would definitely check out a layout both the hatch and the estate
because they've got everything you can need and the options seem to be really good value as well
to get a safety pack for 220 pounds is a really good value option without costing a lot more
this is the CUPRA leon hatch this car has a seven speed automatic gearbox 300 horsepower 400 newton
meters of torque because there's zero to 62 in 5.7 seconds now you might be wondering what's the
difference between the vz1 the vz2 the vz3 so the answer to that is these cars come with a lot of
standard equipment anyway but with the vz2 you get 19 inch machined black and silver alloy wheels the
cooper dynamic and comfort pack and if you have the e-hybrid you get the mode 2 charging cable
and then with the vz3 you get 19-inch aerodynamic machined black and silver alloys wireless phone
charger heated front seats leather upholstery power seat with the memory and powered lumber
adjustment and then the cooper leather flat bottom heated steering wheel which is a really cool one
and then the CUPRA dynamic comfort pack virtual pedal with electric tailgate for the estate which
you've seen on the estate and again a mode two charging cable if you have the e-hybrid model
so everything else i haven't mentioned on there is standard and that's what makes these cars
really good value we've got the same design on the headlights
the same front grille the same adaptive cruise control sensor we've got the 19 inch alloy wheels
and just like on the estate which would make sense you've got this really cool design line
which comes across here and down in a v and then the doors kind of have a curve to them and
then we've got that v design line again down here aloe wheels and then the rear car again has a
300 ps CUPRA it's got your quad exhaust pipes and you'll also notice this has got a colored
red diffuser which wasn't any of the cars i've seen we got the distinctive rear light design
and it opens up like this and that is the boot space and there is 380 litres of boot space in
this car and you can quite easily see you've got your tether points and ability to hook shopping
et cetera and i've got some camera equipment in here and we have no issue at all with that!
Power tailgate is also an option you can have but this model doesn't have it
