The new Leon S boasts a list of standard equipment that makes it a true driving pleasure. From air conditioning to an on board computer, from exterior mirrors, door handles and side mouldings in body colour to smart 15'' Saona steel wheel trims.

Then there would of course be a series of safety technology features that make this vehicle the most reassuring choice for any situation. From the Anti-Lock Breaking System (ABS) to the Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) and Electronic Stability Programme (ESP). From 6 airbags - 4 in the front and 2 in the rear - to three point rear safety belts. From ISOFIX preparations in the lateral rear seats to a driver and passenger seatbelt reminder. Not to forget the standard active headrest system and tyre pressure indicator. It's all there to make your drive the safest you've ever enjoyed.

Also added to the list is a new radio CD MP3 with 6 speakers and Aux-in, remote control central locking and one touch electric front windows with anti-squeeze - all of it within a sophisticated new black interior.

And for those that like just a few extra touches, the S Emoción model adds to the already appealing S specification with front fog lights with cornering function, 16" 'Elio' alloy wheels and steering wheel mounted audio functions.

Get used to looks of envy.
