2024 Cupra Leon price and specs

Cupra has increased Leon pricing by up to $1700, and added DAB+ radio to the spec sheet to help offset it.

Pricing now starts at $49,190 drive-away for the Leon V and extends to $67,690 drive-away for the Western Australian customers purchasing the VZe.

The VZe plug-in hybrid now has an optional Leather and Sound package, which adds a nine-speaker Beats sound system to the outgoing Leather package.

Orders for the adjusted MY24 Cupra range will be “available shortly” for delivery late in the third quarter of 2023.

While the updated range will be available to order soon, Cupra has confirmed “significant MY23 stock at pre-adjusted pricing continues to arrive into the network”.
