ST to its lineup with 587 liters of rear storage with the seats up.

The ST wagon is the third member of the Leon family after the five-doorSeat Leon 1.6 TDI ReferenceSpain, 2013 > present1 photo
and three-door versions, but it weighs only 45kg more than the standard five-door. The extra length in the rear adds storage capacity. It is offered with engines producing between 85hp and 182hp.

The ST is identical to the rest of the Leon range from the B-pillar forward. The rear is 27cm longer than the other versions with a tilted rear window and rounded roofline. LED taillights are standard on the ST.

The engine options include the 1.2 TSI with 85hp or 104hp, 1.4 TSI with 120hp or 138hp, 1.8 TSI with 178hp, 1.6 TDI with 89hp, 2.0 TDI with 148hp or 182hp.

Like the rest of the range, it offers optional full-LED headlights, proximity radar, adaptive dampers and progressive steering.  The adaptive dampers offer three systems – Sport, Comfort and Normal.

“The Leon ST defines a new standard in the compact estate car class – at a very fair price. Like the already highly successful Leon and Leon SC, the new ST is the perfect representative of SEAT’s brand values,” said Jürgen Stackmann, President and CEO of Seat.

Seat has not announced pricing for the ST yet.
