The SEAT Leon e-HYBRID plug-in hybrid has an electric range of 40 miles, CO2 emissions of 27g/km, and a combined WLTP fuel consumption figure of 217.3-235.4mpg. This means a benefit from a Benefit in Kind (BiK) rating of just six per cent.
The ultra-low BiK rating, applicable to plug-in hybrids with an electric-only range of at least 40 miles, is available with the Leon e-HYBRID FR and XCELLENCE.
It is anticipated that this low BiK rating will prove attractive for fleet and company car buyers alike, giving the Leon a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of just 30.0p per mile and a strong residual value of 40 per cent after 3 years and 60,000 miles.
The P11D value for Leon e-HYBRID starts from £30,915 for the FR trim and the Leon e-HYBRID XCELLENCE has a P11D value of £32,905.
The e-HYBRID drivetrain combines a 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine with an electric motor and six-speed DSG transmission, resulting in a total power output of 204PS and a 0-62mph time of 7.5 seconds.
Power is supplied to the electric motor via a 13kWh lithium-ion battery back which is recharged via a 3.6kW AC inlet. This enables Leon e-HYBRID to be fully charged from 0% in less than 3.5 hours.
The new Leon e-HYBRID is the first of a number of new plug-in hybrid vehicles from both the SEAT and CUPRA brands as part of an electrification offensive. The CUPRA Leon e-HYBRID and CUPRA Formentor e-HYBRID will arrive in the UK in the first quarter of 2021, followed by the SEAT Tarraco e-HYBRID in the second half of the year.
