Points to note
The infotainment of the Leon IV received criticism at introduction for slowness and operation via touch sliders; software updates resolved that partly (owner reports, historical, not verified by us). The cylinder deactivation of the 1.5 TSI works imperceptibly but the consumption in practice is above the WLTP figure. Check per trim level the standard equipment at the official dealer. The braked towing weight is 1,500 kg for the 1.5 TSI manual; variants may differ.
