Comparison: New Seat León vs Volkswagen Golf
Noticia
Engine
The Seat León, on the other hand, looks very sharp.And due to the dynamic design of the rear with the ascending line of the window, although it is an aesthetic resource that feels very good to Seat's compact, its panoramic visibility is worse than golf.
Inside
Me encanta el monitor de ocho pulgadas del Seat en un estilo moderno de tablet. Sin embargo, casi todo tiene que regularse a través de él: calefacción de asientos, asistentes de seguridad, y hasta la iluminación del cockpit.
In golf, we also consider that the percentage of control per screen is too high;The tactile areas of the sensors for high/low volume and right temperature placed at the bottom of the monitor are particularly annoying.But at least, Wolfsburg's has some more direct access buttons.
Fortunately, both have an advanced voice control, which is activated by a button on the steering wheel (or saying "Hello" followed by the brand).
Both are solidly adjusted and have quality materials and pleasant touch, and offer excellent seats with good support and a lot of comfort, even on long trips.
Second row
The surprise comes here.And, although until now the lion was not a prodigy of space, in this generation it reaches that condition.And it is that the knees take longer to collide with the front backs and the posture is very relaxed, a when its sidewalk goes in a lower position.
And also enters a more generous sport bag in the Spanish trunk.Or said in figures: the SEAT has a maximum capacity of 1.301 liters, and golf has to settle for 1.237 liters.As for the minimum volume, both are at the same time with 380 (SEAT) and 381 (golf).
equipment
Our test golf carried a more generous serial team that included automatic lights and acoustic signs for parking.And in addition, in the lion we look in vain a head-up display in the list of options, while the Volkswagen carries one that shows us important data such as speed, traffic signs or navigation arrows, just in front of our eyes (whereby for whichYou have to pay approximately 700 euros).
On going!
Despite carrying the same engine, a 1.5 ETSI with cylinder disconnection, the golf accelerates 0.4 seconds before 0 to 100 km/h and runs 3 km/h plus.
The new 48 volt system improves the 150 hp gasoline motor start behavior, and the seven -speed DSG, which always comes standard in the ETSI, works quickly, fluidly and almost unnoticed in both cars in both cars.
However, the golf and the lion each develop their own distinctive character while leading.The lion is equipped, like Wolfsburg's, with optional adjustable shock absorbers.But thanks to the FR sports suspension, the Spanish has fun more exploring the last slot in the curves, and with less inclinations.Said plainly: your answer is more dynamic, it has more claw than your rival.
Golf also allows a determined driving, but its approach is clearly more in everyday life than to explore the limits of the car.That is why it is logical that the Volkswagen has a slightly more pleasant and soft suspensions than his brother Leon, which at the same time isolate more information about the conditions of the road in general.

2nd position: Seat Leon 1.5 ETSI ACT DSG.More space and lower prices are absolutely convincing, but Spanish loses decisive points in terms of comfort and equipment.
1st position: Volkswagen Golf 1.5 ETSI ACT DSG.Wolfsburg's is still the versatile and safe versatile, although unfortunately, it is also a expensive pleasure.
conclusion
Realmente viene pisando fuerte, este León. Se conduce bien, ofrece mucho espacio y cuesta menos que el Golf. Puede mantener el tipo en esta comparativa, que no gana, en parte, porque nuestra unidad venía escasa de equipamiento. Pero eso puede cambiar en la próxima prueba.
