Cupra has just introduced two exciting front-wheel-drive hatchbacks for 2025—the 2025 Cupra Leon VZ and the even more focused Leon VZ TCR. Both models pack a punch with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivering 321 horsepower. Fans of hot hatches will be thrilled because these are the most powerful FWD Leons ever made! Especially the Leon VZ TCR, a limited edition with racecar magic like removable rear seats to save weight. If you love driving fast and sharp, these hatches are worth your attention.
What Makes the Leon VZ and Leon VZ TCR Exterior So Cool?
The Leon VZ exterior has a sporty yet polished look perfect for everyday use, while the Leon VZ TCR exterior turns up the aggression with racing-inspired touches. The Leon VZ TCR sports a larger roof spoiler, beefy front splitter, wider side skirts, and a rear diffuser finished with quad copper exhausts. Lightweight alloy wheels wrapped in extra-wide 245mm performance tires also add grip and style, making it look ready to attack the track.
What the Cabin Feels Like Inside the Leon VZ and VZ TCR
Inside, the Leon VZ interior offers a modern sporty cabin with quality materials focused on comfort and technology. The Leon VZ TCR interior is much more hardcore with CUPBucket racing seats, four-strap harness seat belts, and the option to remove rear seats for weight savings. There’s also a strut bar and net to further stiffen the chassis, giving you a real racing-car vibe every time you drive.
How’s the Leon VZ and Leon VZ TCR Performance?
Powered by the EA888 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, both the Leon VZ Performance and Leon VZ TCR Performance deliver 321 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. They blast from 0-62 mph in just 5.6 seconds. The Leon VZ TCR features an electronically controlled front differential lock, DCC adaptive dampers, and precision tuning for razor-sharp handling. Brembo's six-piston brakes on the TCR give awesome stopping power, perfect for spirited driving or track days.
What Cool Features Make the Leon VZ and Leon VZ TCR Stand Out
Both models bring advanced features such as a seven-speed DSG gearbox, laser-engraved serial numbers on the Leon VZ TCR features, and optional Öhlins dampers for even more control. The weight-saving removable rear seats on the Leon VZ TCR are a highlight for track enthusiasts eager to ditch any unnecessary mass. The Leon VZ features blend performance and style for everyday thrill seekers.
What About Price and Availability for these Hot Leons?
Details on the Leon VZ Price and Leon VZ TCR Price aren’t officially out yet, but expect the limited-run VZ TCR to be pricier due to its exclusive upgrades. The standard Cupra Leon usually starts from around £32,000, while the sportier VZ1 version costs about £10,000 more. The Leon VZ availability is set for early 2026 with 1,500 units planned, while the Leon VZ TCR availability is limited to just 499 cars worldwide, making it a serious collector’s piece.
