Seat Leon SC unveiled

Seat has revealed a three-door version of its Leon hatchback. Called the SC (which stands for Sports Coupé), a slightly shortened wheelbase plus a more inclined rear screen give it a distinctive look.

Practicality doesn’t appear to have suffered though, as the SC retains the same luggage capacity and rear headroom of the five-door version.

The new Seat Leon SC is due to make its public debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. Pricing has yet to be announced.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
