Long-term test review: SEAT Leon X-Perience - pictures

In corners, the Leon performs better than the Skoda Octavia Scout, thanks to a stiffer suspension set-up. It feels more direct and responsive to steering inputs. 

It's powered by a 148bhp 2.0-litre 4-cylinder TDI diesel engine, the same of which can be found in the Skoda. 

On the road, larger alloys mean the SEAT is slightly crashier than the Skoda, but you'd hardly call it uncomfortable.
