The Cupra Leon is now officially on sale with the 2.0-liter TSI petrol engine in the UK.
The turbocharged four-cylinder puts out 300 PS (296 HP / 221 kW) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque, identical to the latest Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport, and drives the front wheels through a DSG transmission.
With 5.7 seconds required for the 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration and a 250 km/h (155 mph) top speed, performance is on par with its German cousin.
