CUPRA Leon VZ Driving Video

The CUPRA Leon VZ builds on the brand's strong motorsport achievements, transferring the adrenaline rush and precision to a road car that is both confident and refined. Its new engine delivers performance that elevates the most dynamic model in the range to its maximum expressiveness.

The CUPRA Leon VZ's 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine produces 239 kW (325 hp) and 420 Nm of torque. This makes it the most powerful front-wheel-drive Leon ever built. Tuned for precision and intensity, the engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DSG) that seamlessly transfers power to the road. An integrated electronic front differential lock (VAQ) enhances traction and control by using real-time data from steering angle, wheel speed, and yaw moment to optimize power delivery in dynamic driving situations. This technology ensures that the CUPRA Leon VZ maintains composure even under maximum load.
