Compact Family Hatch of the Year 2015 - Pictures

For the third time the SEAT Leon takes the Best Compact Family Car award.

The SEAT Leon is the 2015 Auto Express Compact Family Car of the Year.

<span>The&nbsp;</span>SEAT<span>&nbsp;Leon is a truly excellent car thanks to its classy looks and superb build quality, that's backed up by low running costs and a great drive.</span>

Wind and road noise are muted in the Leon, and the suspension does an excellent job of soaking up any uneven road surfaces.

Overall, the SEAT Leon is enjoyable to drive irrespective of whether it’s in town, or hoovering up the miles on the motorway. The handling is good, too.

<span>The Leon's dashboard features a subtle gloss black surround that's finished off with chrome trim&nbsp;<span>that feels well put together. There's also an intuitive touchscreen control system that's easy to get along with.</span><

<span>There are three petrol and two diesel engines to choose from in the SEAT Leon range, while t<span>he 108bhp 1.6 TDI Ecomotive model offers the best fuel economy in the line-up without any compromises to acceleration or handling.<

<span>Despite it sharing the same MQB platform as the Volkswagen Golf and&nbsp;</span>Skoda<span>&nbsp;Octavia, the Leon's&nbsp;</span>sharper styling really gives it kerb appeal.
