Cupra unveils the Leon R ST, a high-end AWD estate/wagon

Car manufacturer Cupra (formerly part of Seat) has announced the Leon Cupra R ST, a performance estate/wagon with all-wheel drive.

The newcomer comes powered by a 2.0-liter TSI turbo engine rated at 300 hp (224 kW) and 400 Nm (295 lbft) of torque. It works in tandem with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and 4Drive AWD.

The car only needs 4.9 seconds to get going at 100 km/h (62 mph) and reaches its limit at 250 km/h (155 mph).

The Leon Cupra R ST features 19-inch wheels, Brembo brakes in front, a carbon-fiber aero kit, a quad-pipe performance exhaust system, and negative camber.

The cabin uses Alcantara upholstery with faux carbon accents.

Base features include digital dashboard, bucket seats, and a multimedia system with an 8-inch display.

First cars will arrive in dealerships later this month.
