Details surrounding the Leon Cross Sport are vague at best, but it’s safe to assume that it will bow as a design study rather than as a production model. Based on the two-door Leon SC hatchback, the Cross Sport features a much higher suspension, black plastic cladding over the wheel arches and on the rocker panels, honeycomb inserts in the grille and in the lower bumper as well as roof rails.
Photos of the back end have not been published yet. Similarly, what the concept looks like inside and what it’s powered by is anyone’s guess at this point. The Golf-sized hatchback on which it’s based is offered with a long list of engines ranging from a 1.2-liter that makes 86 horsepower to a 2.0-liter tuned to generate 285 ponies.
We’ll learn more about the SEAT Leon Cross Sport tomorrow when the Frankfurt show opens its doors to the press. While the Leon on stilts is likely little more than a concept, SEAT isn’t shy about admitting that it’s busily developing its first-ever SUV, so the Cross could give us insight into what we can expect from it.
