The fourth generation of the Seat León continues to be the main protagonist of the Spanish automobile scene despite the exceptional situation we are experiencing. Of course, its launch has been disrupted by a crisis that does not understand production and enrollment plans. The Martorell factory has reconverted its sub-chassis line to be able to manufacture OxyGEN, a respirator that has already been authorized by the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products . The brand has focused on responding to the shortage of material, making its industrial capacity available for various projects, some of which are still in the testing phase. The manufacturer, however, does not renounce to think about a future without viruses and with a gradual return to normality, at which time we will be able to test, first-hand, the new Seat León 2020 .
This new batch of the Spanish best-seller comes with an arsenal of driver assistance systems (ADAS) , making it the safest of the brand to date. The objective of these systems is to prevent the accident from occurring, constantly studying the environment thanks to the ultrasonic sensors, radars and cameras distributed throughout the body . If necessary, the car is programmed to alert and even react to unexpected obstacles. In addition, these technological advances also improve the quality of the ride and the comfort during the journey. They are the first step towards autonomous driving, offering greater confidence and control over the most everyday traffic situations.
The 2020 Leon should be a before and after at a key moment for Seat. The Catalan firm is in a very sweet moment, with historical registration data and the best perception of the brand since its birth. COVID-19 will wreak havoc in the automotive sector, as in all, but the León’s arguments will also be valid once the virus is overcome. Starting with its wide variety of engines, which will allow the buyer to choose between gasoline, diesel, compressed natural gas, hybrid or plug-in hybrid . Safety systems and driving assistance are another of the reinforced elements in this new generation. Some of the novelties are: adaptive and predictive cruise control, the emergency assistant, lateral assistant and many others that we will tell you below.
