TECHNICALLY, the last 27cm at the back is what’s new, but the overall package is the first performance estate car that Seat has ever built. The Leon ST Cupra 280 is based on the five-door hot hatch we know and love, but the ST adds a handy 207 litres of extra boot space – a 65 per cent boost. There is (finally) a new me-
dia interface screen to replace the woeful one the hatchback suffers, but it’s part of an ex- pensive options package. You can also add the Sub-8 Perfor- mance Pack for lighter wheels, and optional orange bits. Looks and image There’s just something spe-
cial about a fast estate. It’s in the stance, perhaps, but the Leon ST Cupra 280 looks an absolute peach on its lowered suspension, 19-inch wheels and subtle body kit. The elon- gated back end helps re-bal- ance the rear doors versus the hatchback, and if you choose the Performance Pack you get
stunning thin-spoked wheels that save weight and improve the ride and handling. Space and practicality A total of 587 litres below
the luggage cover is not to be sniffed at. Big suitcases, a washing machine – whatever; the ST can shift it (and quick- ly). Seat claims 13 storage spaces. I couldn’t find them all as I was busy hammering around a race track. For every- day driving you might want to protect the alloy wheels. Behind the wheel The ST is impressively simi-
lar to thehatchbackdrive,even around Parcmotor Castelloli circuit in Spain. With huge grip from wide Bridgestones – or Michelin Pilots with the Performance Pack – the spe- cial physics-defying technolo- gy rewards you the harder you push through corners.A vast improvement in the pricey new 6.5-inch screen. Value for money It’s a £995 jump from the
five-door to the ST. Who would buy one? The ST Cupra, fuel costs ex- cluded, has to be one of the finest all-round cars on the market. If you can afford to buy and run it, it’s a purchase you won’t regret.
