With the order books opening on April 15, SEAT’s new Leon three-door model, the SC, will cost from £15,370 for the 1.2-litre TSI petrol S version.
That price-tag is £300 less than the entry level cost of the newly-launched Leon five-door hatchback.
Sporty front seats set the SC apart, though the engine and trim range is the same as that of the Leon five-door.
And despite being 35mm shorter, the SC has the same 380-litre capacity boot along with an abundance of storage options throughout.
The car is due to arrive in the showrooms in July.
