Cupra has confirmed plans to continue producing combustion-powered versions of the Leon model into the next decade, but the brand has also announced that the next-generation Leon will eventually transition to an all-electric offering. Built on the Volkswagen Group’s versatile Scalable Systems Platform (SSP), the electric Leon will share its underpinnings with a range of future EVs from the group.
Cupra’s CEO, Wayne Griffiths, emphasized that the current Leon will remain available for several years. “The Cupra Leon and Cupra Formentor are both based on the same platform,” Griffiths told. “We will extend those well into the next decade. If we want to go into the next decade, then we’re always going to have to take care of those cars and revitalise them.” This extension could see the Leon retain combustion and plug-in hybrid versions until the next decade, with potential facelifts and product improvements to maintain its competitiveness.
