Seat UK Introduce Leon FR+ Supercopa Special Edition

Following the release of the high-spec FR+, SEAT is introducing yet another trim level exclusively for the UK. 

The VW Group's Spanish arm has introduced a hi-spec Leon FR+ Supercopa special edition, which offers a sportier look thanks to a Seat Sport designed body kit.Dubbed the Supercopa (Super Cup) after the one-make race series, the special edition's styling enhancements include restyled front and rear bumpers, side skirts, a more pronounced tailgate spoiler, bespoke BBS 18-inch alloys, 'Supercopa' badges, and chrome-tipped dual exhausts.

Exterior colors offered consist of Nevada White, Emocion Red and Speed Blue (featured in the pictures).All the extra features on the standard FR+ trim can be found on the Supercopa, such as SEAT's Media System 2.2 sat-nav complete with five-inch color touchscreen, dynamic root guidance, DAB radio, Bluetooth audio streaming and SD card slot. There's also Bluetooth phone connection, bi-xenon headlights with AFS and rear parking sensors.The Supercopa edition, like the FR+, is offered with the 168hp 2.0-liter TDI CR turbo diesel and 208hp 2.0-liter TSI gasoline engines.SEAT claims the Supercopa editions benefit from £3,000 worth of body kit extras for just £750 more than standard Leon FR+ models, which start at £22,530 on the road for the 2.0-liter TDI with six-speed manual.SEAT UK Head of Marketing, Chris Stevens, said of the new special editions: "This stunning car represents many of the very best elements of SEAT. Gorgeous styling, superb levels of standard equipment and unrivalled value for money are the hallmarks of our cars, and they come together to exceptional effect in the Leon FR+ Supercopa."
