Seat Leon MK1 Seat Guide
The Seat Leon MK1 story...
The SEAT Leon , (meaning “Lion” in Spanish or the name of a former Spanish kingdom – Leon) is a hatchback compact car built by the Spanish car manufacturer SEAT since October 1998. The initial SEAT Leon (Volkswagen Group Type 1M), launched in 1999. Available engines were the 1.4-litre 16 valve petrol engine which produced (75 PS; 74 bhp), a 1.6-litre 8 valve petrol engine (101 PS; 99 bhp) and included two variants of their popular Volkswagen Group’s 20 valve turbocharged 1.8-litre engine.
On cornering, you may find your self holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position your self after the corner.Â
None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported allowing you to focus on the job at hand.Â
We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our Seat Leon MK1Â guide.
