2021 SEAT Leon Sportstourer Mild Hybrid 1.5 TSI DSG FR | Sgcarmart Reviews
Station wagons are a dying breed and the Seat Leon Sportstourer is one of them. At a slight premium over its hatchback sibling, you get more boot space and legroom, without sacrificing performance and drive. Should you consider this over something in the ever-popular SUV segment?

0 -> Hey welcome back to Sgcarmart Reviews
2.682 -> SUVs have been an up and coming market
5.059 -> with pretty much every other Singaporean driving SUVs
7.919 -> and the ones left behind are station wagons
11.001 -> Why is that so?
12.319 -> To be honest I don't know
13.587 -> They were actually pretty popular for quite a while
16.911 -> Today we have the Seat Leon Sportstourer
20.211 -> a station wagon trying to make its break in the SUV market
24.085 -> and how does it hold up?
25.319 -> Well let's find out
31.48 -> Before we get to the review, if you are thinking of selling your car
34.125 -> and trying to buy this Seat Leon Sportstourer
36.532 -> try selling it with Quotz instead
38.702 -> Did you know that you could be losing
up to $5,000 in value when you trade in your car
42.909 -> Quotz uses its network of dealers to get you the best price possible
46.792 -> In fact, they are so confident in getting you the best price
49.832 -> if you sell your car for a higher price, they will give you $100
53.213 -> Don't just take our word for it, look at the
hundreds of raving reviews on their website
57.425 -> To find out more, visit quotz.com.sg
62.897 -> Now let's get back to the review
64.814 -> The front of the Seat Leon Sportstourer might seem a little familiar
67.343 -> and that's because
69.888 -> it shares a lot of similar elements to the CUPRA Leon
72.806 -> and Julian has done a review on that car
74.67 -> click on the pop out banner to find out more
77.484 -> It still retains that sporty look with these sharp lines on the hood
81.801 -> and I kind of like it, it just gives the car an overall sportier feel
86.133 -> minus the bronze badge
87.802 -> Let's move onto the side
89.107 -> On the side of the Seat Leon Sportstourer
91.445 -> You get these blacked out mirrors, it's not completely black
94.467 -> it's also not metallic and I wouldn't say it's gloss either
97.457 -> but whatever this colour, whatever this shade of black is
100.304 -> I wish the whole car was that color because it looks really cool
103.916 -> and if you noticed something about the car, it's actually really short
106.882 -> I am just over 1.8 meters tall
109.05 -> and I can comfortably do this on the car
113.693 -> Just to put it into perspective, this car is about
6mm shorter than the hatchback variant of the Seat Leon
120.527 -> which I don't know why it is shorter
122.86 -> Why did it lock itself but okay sure
125.072 -> because this is the Seat Leon Sportstourer you get more space at the back
129.446 -> 11 inches to be precise
133.194 -> I don't know what 11 inches look like but I'm pretty sure bigger is better
136.815 -> Let's check out the back
140.48 -> At the back of the Seat Leon Sportstourer
143.357 -> you get this connecting single
146.165 -> single line taillights which I think look really cool
148.751 -> because this car is in red, it might be a little hard to see
151.731 -> but I think if you got the car in red or white
154.064 -> it will look really good
156.755 -> Julian says that the single connecting taillight has been overused
160.734 -> To be honest with you
162.291 -> I don't see a problem with it
164.063 -> it just makes the car look so nice especially at night
166.777 -> You get a Seat badging over here, and the Leon logo
170.025 -> that's different from the Ibiza logo
172.291 -> This is an Italicised version of the logo
175.587 -> I don't have any feelings about it but alright
180.808 -> Open the boot up, and you get 620 liters of boot space
185.033 -> This is 250 liters bigger than the hatchback variant
189.209 -> I have no issues with the boot space whatsoever
192.354 -> The issue I have is that I am actually taller than the boot opening
196.926 -> and to be honest with you
199.286 -> when I was putting my bags at the back
200.958 -> I hit my head several times, my producers
have hit their heads several times as well
205.863 -> so if you are taller than 1.8 meters
209.743 -> something worth considering
212.404 -> but it passes the Auntie Trolley Length Test no problem
215.807 -> the Luggage Test no problem, you even have space here to put
219.023 -> that one annoying kid in your class that won't shut up
222.611 -> over here and as you can see it can fit more stuff
226.795 -> Practicality is great, let's check out the rear seats
248.2 -> For more details on the Seat Leon Sportstourer or any other car
251.345 -> head onto sgcarmart.com to help you make the smart choice on your next car
255.644 -> Here at the back of the Seat Leon Sportstourer
259.215 -> everything feels really good, because this is a
262.316 -> station wagon variant, all the design changes are at the back
265.465 -> honestly in the front here you don't really get too many changes
268.785 -> I still get quite a bit of knee room, quite a bit of headroom
271.867 -> and the front seat has been adjusted to my comfortable driving position
275.047 -> and I am just over 1.8 meters tall
277.807 -> to be honest this feels really spacious
281.039 -> I don't see most people having a problem with space at the back
285.542 -> can fit comfortably no problem
287.625 -> You also get aircon vents, and two USB-C ports
291.651 -> At the center seat
293.43 -> I will have to say because there is a transmission tunnel here
295.872 -> and I have kind of big feet
298.895 -> yeah they are not going
300.986 -> they are definitely eating into the two other passengers' footwell space
305.534 -> however shoulder room, I am eating a little bit
308.736 -> but I am also kind of skinny so if you have skinny passengers at the back
312.671 -> it's probably not going to be a problem
315.23 -> If it is just the two of you, you can pull this down
318.312 -> you can put your coffee, phone, whatever nonsense over here
322.734 -> and you also get a ski hatch in case you want to
325.772 -> throw something at the annoying kid to get them to shut up
333.546 -> You also get ISOFIX points, if you don't really want to put the kid in the boot
338.672 -> yeah that's pretty much all you get in the back seats
342 -> Onto the front seats
343.452 -> On the front of the Seat Leon Sportstourer
345.641 -> you get a digital cluster in front of you and you can change
349.589 -> the view settings you want to see but right now I have it on the usual one
352.666 -> and it just looks really good
354.443 -> Moving on to the infotainment system
357.164 -> Very legible, Julian loves the colours because it makes him feel young
360 -> and he hates to admit it
361.525 -> but the colours are very vibrant, and I think that's what I really like about the car
366.332 -> you don't really have to second guess all the logos
368.475 -> and they are honestly massive
371.554 -> yeah I think it's a really good way of
374.781 -> designing an infotainment system
377.12 -> You get your aircon controls over here, but you can also control them
380.256 -> in the infotainment and your volume over here
382.816 -> in case you don't want to use the multifunctional steering wheel
385.733 -> and two USB-C ports at the bottom as well as a
389.603 -> wireless charging pad over here
392.699 -> You get this little nubbin that you see in most if not all
396.343 -> of the Volkswagen group cars by now
399.384 -> It does feel a little but vulgar touching it
402.921 -> but I don't really see a big deal and I got used to it pretty quickly
406.687 -> You get two cup holders here but one of my problems is
410.601 -> there is a really small cup holder here for those
413.079 -> slim Coke cans right but the bigger one
415.975 -> it doesn't really fit my water bottle, as you can see there's a lot of give
420.154 -> and that's because my water bottle isn't really inside, it's kind of just
424.353 -> resting on the thing at best
427.081 -> so the best way to put my water bottle, and anyone's water bottle
431.909 -> is at the door bins at the side
434.03 -> You also get a little cubby hole over here and a 12V socket
438.017 -> Overall the car feels really good, it has some brushed metal finishings over here
441.834 -> that kind of enhances the premium-ness of the car
445.232 -> If you want to find out how premium the car actually is
448.247 -> and this is not common by the way
450.257 -> it has ISOFIX points at the front, which
453.713 -> if your baby's first words are ever "(riding) shotgun"
459.45 -> This is definitely where the baby wants to be at
462.169 -> I just thought this was really cool
465.192 -> Yup everything in the car feels really good I think
468.306 -> it definitely looks really good
470.602 -> As Julian would say it, "it smells really good" but does it drive as good?
474.149 -> Well one way to find out
486.217 -> Now the Seat Leon Sportstourer, how does it feel like on the road
489.753 -> Well this car comes with a 1.5 liter Mild Hybrid engine
493.051 -> that gives it 149 bhp and 250 Nm of torque so honestly
498.932 -> if you don't what those numbers mean, it basically means
501.458 -> overtaking is done with absolute east
505.228 -> and it's really just a push of the pedal, you don't have to strain it too much
509.13 -> and the best part about it is, you don't really hear the engine noise
512.122 -> which I think just makes it a more refined drive
515.367 -> and I think that's pretty much all the power you need
519.319 -> When it comes to comfort, I think it's important to note that this car
523.004 -> is on a slightly stiffer suspension
526.111 -> Going around corners, going through some of the road undulations
530.052 -> you do feel it a little more than the average car
534.095 -> however I think that enhances the sportiness feel of it
538.814 -> and at the same time I wouldn't say
541.333 -> the stiffness in the suspension is any worse than the average car
545.276 -> if anything kids could still sleep in the back
547.921 -> your girlfriend could still sleep in the back, I could sleep in the back
551.313 -> which you know makes it pretty decent
554.291 -> and if you have a baby in the front seat using the ISOFIX points
558.885 -> your baby could definitely sleep well
561.551 -> What more can you ask for in a car like this, and if you are alone
565.6 -> you want to take it out for a slightly sportier drive with the horsepower
569.958 -> I think you could probably achieve that no problem
584.589 -> The Seat Leon Sportstourer Mild Hybrid
587.993 -> is it a Will Buy, Won't Buy, Go Try?
590.823 -> Well for me personally...
592.847 -> Personally, before you all attack me in the comments,
personally I think it is a Will Buy
599.285 -> Here's the thing about the Sportstourer, I think
it really kind of falls in a slightly awkward position
605.131 -> In Singapore, most if not everyone, looks to have an SUV right
609.563 -> and manufacturers are producing SUVs left, right, and center
613.349 -> which kind of puts this Sportstourer in a really awkward spot because
617.529 -> station wagons in general were meant to be practical, were meant to be
622.553 -> just to give you a little bit more in terms of space and
626.474 -> while SUVs also do give you that, SUVs also do give you a bigger road presence
630.828 -> so where does the Leon Sportstourer stand then
633.774 -> This car actually looks really good, while
636.549 -> it doesn't have a massive road presence or a massive grille
640.794 -> it keeps a very low profile and I kind of like
644.571 -> that aspect about this car, it's not
647.611 -> overly sized to where you feel like you are king of the road
651.364 -> but at the same time you know
653.856 -> there's just something about the styling of this particular station wagon that
658.596 -> just makes it more fun to drive, more youthful, more
663.947 -> more exciting and
667.011 -> at the same time you can still be a family man
671.067 -> you can still help your mom out with the groceries
673.27 -> you can still bring around your baby chair, you can still
677.043 -> you can easily fit your kids at the back seats with no fuss
681.945 -> and that's kind of what I like about this car
684.827 -> Yes it faces a lot of competition out there in terms of pricing
689.382 -> but when it comes to station wagons, there really aren't a lot out there
693.108 -> So if you are looking for something really unique
and you are looking for something that
697.235 -> offers practicality but at the same time
700.204 -> gives you a very sporty drive
702.907 -> I think the Seat Leon Sportstourer kind fits all of those boxes
705.936 -> and I really liked those features
709.002 -> That is it for our Seat Leon Sportstourer review
712.624 -> let us know in the comments whether you Will Buy, Won't Buy, or Go Try this car
717.773 -> Also Like and Share the video and Subscribe to our YouTube channel
721.053 -> because 80% of you are not subscribed and I don't know why
724.038 -> just click the button, and click the bell notification button next to it as well
728.12 -> Also follow us on TikTok, we are at @sgcaramart
731.281 -> You will definitely see me there more often than you will see me here
734.397 -> but I enjoy doing the reviews for you as well
736.963 -> In the meantime this is Wilkin signing off good bye
