CUPRA Leon VZ3 300 Review | A True Hot Hatch You Can Buy New in the UK

🙏 A huge thanks to Group 1 SEAT CUPRA Ipswich for lending me this car: https://www.group1auto.co.uk/dealersh... The newly facelifted CUPRA Leon VZ3 Hatchback is here – with bold styling, sharper tech and 300 horsepower from its 2.0 TSI engine. But with the Honda Civic Type R and Hyundai i30N no longer available to order new in the UK, is this now one of the last proper hot hatches left on sale? In this video I take the CUPRA Leon VZ3 300 out on the road to see if it delivers the performance, practicality and value you’d want from a modern hot hatch. I’ll also talk through the updates across the new Leon range – including the 1.5 eTSI, plug-in hybrid options, and the VZ1 trim where you can still get the 300hp engine from just £43,775. 🚗 Would you pick this over a VW Golf GTI Clubsport, or is the CUPRA Leon the better all-rounder?
