Mk1 SEAT Leon Cupra R vs Mk2 SEAT Leon Cupra - Which Is Best? [Car Obsession]

Mk1 SEAT Leon Cupra R vs Mk2 SEAT Leon Cupra - Which Is Best? [Car Obsession]

Hello guys, welcome back to Car Obsession, and welcome to another video that I've been waiting to show you for quite some time! It's my anticipated head-to-head video with what was my Mk1 SEAT Leon Cupra R and Mk2 SEAT Leon Cupra.

Both cars feature turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engines albeit with slightly different approaches. The Mk1 SEAT Leon Cupra R is powered by a 1.8 turbocharged petrol offering 210hp and 270Nm whilst the Mk2 SEAT Leon Cupra is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol offering 240hp and 300Nm of torque.

Both cars send their power to the front wheels via a 6-speed manual - without a limited-slip differential. The Cupra R will hit 62mph in 7.2 seconds, whilst the Cupra betters that with 6.4 seconds. The top speed of the Cupra R is 147mph, whilst the Cupra will max out at 154mph.

Those are just numbers, though, and they only paint so much of the story - what are both cars like to drive in the real world? I hit the beautiful sunny roads of Goodwood, with the help of good friend and fellow YouTuber ‪@PocketRockets‬.
