It's really a shame that car manufacturers left the concept of "form follows functions" even further with the wide use of touch screens instead of physical buttons, to save development costs. Its totally not understandable that you're not allowed to use your phone while driving but at the same time you're allowed to fiddle with seat heating or climate settings in some under menu of the cars screen, while driving
I love Thomas, he is so German and so entertaining. I like when he is using the zimmermann maßband to do all the measures of the back of the cars. Please, keep going, and thank you for your fantastic reviews.
Another really great review, Thomas. I plan to replace my Leon ST with either new Leon ST or new Octavia estate, in the next 2 years. It has been a real help seeing the two reviews, both cars are good in so many ways. Styling on both is good, Leon is more sporty to look at and to drive but I like the styling of Octavia too, and it’s interior. Much will depend on pricing and specifications in the U.K. I use the Leon as my daily car and I bought it as an ex-demonstration car, 6 months old, saving a lot of money vs brand new!
An excellent and very helpful review together with the ones of Leon FR and Octavia! I agree that the trend to replace all the physical controls with a touch screen or voice control is not desirable, but it looks like soon there won't be much alternatives. So we just have to bite the bullet and accept that from now on learning the car's user interface is an essential part of getting familiar with one's new vehicle in order to make the most out of it. As was mentioned in the review, winter/summer tires, different wheel sizes and in this case, the optional DCC system, very much change the nature of any car. Therefore, it would be better, if the vehicle tests could be conducted using a more standard version of the vehicle like in the case of Leon Xcellence, with 17 inch wheels which seem to be Leon's default size in most countries and without the DCC also.
Fantastic review, I've been looking at the diesel 2.0 TDI version in the FR trim...I think you've just convinced me on the car, on the whole, a very well balanced drive.
I once drove a new Seat Ibiza that I got from a Touring company adn I was pleasingly surprised how good the build quality was. Especially I was excited how good the chassis was. Conserning the new Leon, I like that wooden element and I rather prefer this interoir design over the new Audi's. I think we are now in a historical period where every manufacturer tries to deliver the best solution to attract new customers.
Very nice interior on this one, almost no piano black! Of course a couple of physical buttons/dials would have been nice, but this still seems better than the new Golf interior wise.
Thomas always dressing nicely for the amazing car review. Awesome. No casual knee-shorts, two t-shirts, and some random shoes put on, lol. So much class, even in casual wear. 😎
I like it. The lack of physical buttons for the climate control is a bit inconvenient but I dont really change temperature that often and I am very used to voice control in my home so I should get used to it quickly enough. I love the lighting and the blind spot indication built into the door.
Great review! I'm hesitating between the Leon and the Octavia Combi. Do you know if the eTSi hybrid version of the Leon ST loses some trunk volume due to the battery?
@@autogefuehl I've seen it, very well done also. Unfortunatly the hybrid version of the Octavia isn't available yet for Belgium, and they already announced a smaller trunk. If I look to the Superb they talk about 2 different hybrid versions where one loses volume and the other doesn't... confusing. The best way is to go see it for my self at the local dealer. Btw thanks for your answer.
Cheers, Thomas. 😎 Keeping me entertained while I am social distancing. Cool. 🤗🇩🇪 Imagine Autogefühl being a car brand. Premium. That would also be awesome, lol. Your slogan can be “In full HD, full screen, and full length. Let's go!” Yeah, does not make sense in this case...but it would still be a cute phrase. LOL, make it about €40 000 - €55 000. I would buy. That is my price range, and my current car is around that price range, lol. Also make a large family SUV too, around €70 000. I say all this because I had a dream about it. Seems like watching Autogefühl videos before going to sleep for the past month and thinking about a new car to buy created this dream, lol. 😂
I guess another reason for having heating/ cooling controls on the touch screen is cost saving. Same for the lighting switch. Physical controls for simple functions are so much better and less distracting.
Were then? You don't want it down low - and a bulky ugly dashboard just to enclose the screen? Just look at the difference between the 2013-2016 and 2018+ Mazda 6. Later car looks so much better.
What would you do: driving on the highway, suddenly fog is coming on (maybe A8), very dense, and your rear window gets blind because your dog in the baggage apartment is breathing heavy now. Of course it is night and you are going 130 km/h, so you have to break simultaneously and watch traffic . How do you engage fog lights and window heating? And if you don't do it on the left with a good chance to switch off lights completely, why have these switches? The frequency of use should be not the criteria, otherwise the manufacturer could hide the switch for emergency indicator lights in the infotainment.
I really don't like the hidden ISOFIX point. The old, plastic version is a way better. It prevents the seat from getting damaged and the sets can be attached right away.
Hi Thomas, ich schwanke zwischen Octavia und dem Leon als Kombi, was wäre Deine Wahl ? Ist die Bedienung im Octavia besser, da gibt es ja noch schnellwahltasten
Hi! Beides nicht so optimal. Im Leon hast du dann die Temperatur-Slider, im Octavia tippt man im Bildschirm. Was hinderlich ist, ist Definitionsfrage =) Ich glaube das ist hier eine Styling-Frage und eine Frage des Preises, ich würde mich zwei Vergleichspreise / Leasing usw. von den Händlern geben lassen und dann entscheiden. Rein ausm Bauchgefühl find ich den Leon etwas stylischer außen u innen aber das ist Geschmackssache
The front looks like a Ford Focus, the side line like an Audi A4 and the back like a KIA Pro Cee'd.... In my opinion, the older model looks way better.
Half of Europe has freezing temps in winter. So many ppl get into cold car and normally start drving with gloves on - and remove them 5-10 mins later... how they imagine controlling digital touch screen with gloves on??? Seat got it completely wrong with removing normal nobes.
Nice review, and very close to the main VW competitor the Octavia. You could really make up your choice. The loss of the climate knobs is a dealbraker for me. May test them next time. You might get on someone's nerves, but it is actually a safety consern for me. As a user of the old VW knob system it's a waste not to have them. You should test that on the move, especially when you are alone, the fan speed and the air output, the a/c on off. I did not see sync button to equalise the passenger and driver temps/may be it's somewhere/. Also one major button - the block for "outside air" button. I use it quite a few times, more often in winter times. Here in the morning now is 20 degrees in the afternoon 35 /Celsius/ so messing with the temp , fan speed and a/c on or off is common in spring, like every day. Every morning temp set to 20 or 22, fan low, a/c off. Afternoon temp set to 20 in the beginning, fan high to blow of the hot air from the vents and initially bring the temp down, a/c Off. Then while driving temp to around 26, fan on Auto, a/c On and sometimes if the a/c is too cold I lower the fan speed, or move the air towards the feet or both. Having those knobs is just a must-have as I do not see that happening while driving.
Hi Thomas that was a good review but in the boot what is the height from the boot floor to the roof as my wife is disabled and has a small power chair...regards Ken.
I would like to see a comparison between Golf, Leon and Octavia concerning the switches for lights, rear and front max heating and a few other things that seem to be very different with each model. E.g. the Octavia has three (physical?) buttons left of the steering wheel, just for lighting and the Leon/Golf have only soft touch buttons and for heating as well below the light switches? I also would like to see how the smaller Radio (e.g. Skoda Radio Swing with the volume knob) changes the operation of certain things.
I am not sold. I think something about the front doesent look right. The back is ok. I really think the front looks a little like a hyundai.. I have t seen the FR yet. But I think it is the first time i woul say this : i like the new Octavia better 🙈🙈
Both in golf 8 and the new leon, the removal of physical buttons is a no-go for me. It should be illegal for car manufacturers to remove commonly used functions and place them on a touch screen. I foresee many accidents due to this, as it is the exact same as fiddling with a phone while driving.
VW AG cars are supposed to be logical and user friendly. What’s logical about not having physical climate or audio knobs and buttons, a tiny automatic gear lever & a massive screen that sticks up out from the dash?
Golf is in trouble. The new Leon and Octavia both look better than the Golf Mk8 (particularly in estate versions) and both have improved their refinement. I had a Mk7 golf GL 63 plate, then a 16 plate Leon Xperience ST and now a 19 plate Octavia Mk3 face-lift SE-L. Each have different strengths. My only problem with Leon was practicality - it was the smallest of the three. With Octavia refinement - body lean/roll and wind noise. With the Golf the spec required was very expensive. But if they've made the Leon bigger and made the Octavia more refined.....why would I pay £3k more for a Golf?
Did you watch full length? I talked specifically about the multi-link issue 3 times in this video, see details for that. This car you see here is 1.5 TSI with DCC. And no multi-link
@@autogefuehl I wrote the question at the beginning of the video, no need to accuse me. I actually really like your channel. In your opinion which seats are more comfortable? In the Seat or the Skoda?
Not accusing, just pointing to watch entirely =) All good. Thanks! Seat has more fabric seating choices so far, they are more comfortable. However I am looking forward to test the new Thermoflux-Sports-Seats by Skoda in the RS
NCAP should reduce safety stars for all those distracting touch features. It's just too stupid that you used to have knobs to set the lights or the temperature. You could operate it almost without looking. While now you have to search the touch surface without touching it, and keep looking while adjusting something.
A very good car, I like it very much!))) It is very bad that there is no option in the sedan, before it was the legendary Toledo! It is also very very bad that the Cupra Leon Hatch brand does not have all-wheel drive and a manual transmission!((( Savings...Probably all the fault of the unceasing Dieselgate!(((
Ty for the review. Is there anybody who can tell me the color of the FR which is showed 3:40. It really make the car more beautiful. I have ordered one, and just need to decide color... :)
I've decided to keep my 4yo Octavia and simply upgrade the infotainment system to a Columbus mib2.5 to get the enhanced functionality and 9.2"screen because I want to keep my real knobs and switches. As it is I'm losing the real buttons and knobs of my mib1 Amundsen by doing that. All these touch controls are difficult to use stationary let alone driving. Dangerous IMHO. This isn't progress. I hope VW are watching.
Those interface colors are so tacky. How hard is it to have someone with decent UI/UX knowledge to over see those multimedia systems. If you are committing to have everything controlled through the screen you have to make sure you have good UI/UX in place.

and then came reality with the constantly crashing infotainment system, which is extremly unpractical even if it works. Really not intuitive and some buttons on the screen are so small that you never hit them if the car is a little bit in motion. It's the nicest car from outside I ever had and the worst concerning functions and electronical reliability.

Thomas the st is very ugly at the rear. That’s what everyone loved about the previous generation. Big disappointment 😢 the Cupra st hasn’t any Hope now.
Things NOT to do. Don't copy the Telsa Model 3 by making everything touch screen. What a terrible trend. Rant over. Ok not quite over, my god, vents controlled by a screen control? Who thought, omg, sliding that manual vent control is sooooooo dangerous/laborious! We should reinvent that! Ok back ot the review, while you were driving on the highway through that construction area, I kept looking in the mirror & it was driving me crazy thinking that white van was tailgating you! Back off bro, stop harassing our Thomas! But that BMW wagon passing you was very nice. Ok, yes I was taking in the view a lot, but I was listening to you Thomas. It's just that this car is kind of dull. Maybe it was the fridge colour that lulled me to sleep. Go get the Golf R wagon if you want a cool wagon. Ok, blow your load and get a RS4 wagon. These little engines are like getting a game misconduct in hockey or getting a red card in football.

Highly appreciated! Hope to see you here again

You're not allowed to at all. You can still be fined/given points for distracted driving. They always recommend pulling over when changing settings.

😎👌
very german indeed, but very italian could be even worse :) hahaha
Nice review. It helped me to choose.
Just bought new Seat Leon ST Xcellence 1.5 TSI
Thanks :)
thanks, enjoy :)
How do you find the reliability?
VWAG can pry the AC knobs from my cold dead hands. Rotary light dial too.

Estate is 10000x better looking than the hatch. Love it!! Great video :)

@@daghammar4385 True. If my child brought someone like Thomas home, guaranteed they will have my nod of approval.

So... the eTSI doesn't lose trunk space. The not yet available PHEV will. I'll go for the eTSI Leon Sportstourer.

It's a nice looking car. I do prefer the look of the previous version. Also...everything to be controlled from the touch screen is just a bad idea.
Waiting for Cupra’s review. Cheers from Vilnius.
I really don't like the hidden ISOFIX point.
The old, plastic version is a way better. It prevents the seat from getting damaged and the sets can be attached right away.
I have the predecessor and love it
I can understand that. Almost a VW but less expensive, good choice!
Me too 👍🏼
Mk3 will be the sexier Leon ever.
I think the old one looks better.
I also have the older version from 2019 with the 1,5 petrol and automatic transmission. The whole family loves it.

The best. Specs, facts ect. Ofcourse I am talking about Autogefühl
not the Leon, but also Leon aint bad either...
=)
Not keen on the screen position. Better placed in the previous generation. But a good car prefer it over the Mk8 Golf .
I like the FR over this Xcellence trim, just for the dark headliner. The cloth on the seats look weird on the Xcellence trim
Woher habt ihr die Infos mit dem 2L 190 PS Motor? Wann soll der kommen?
Nice review, and very close to the main VW competitor the Octavia. You could really make up your choice.

Oh, so many measures but didnt note that. Shouldn’t be too different from previous gen

How tall are you? It seems it is good space in the car

I have t seen the FR yet. But I think it is the first time i woul say this : i like the new Octavia better 🙈🙈
The rear reminds me of Opel Astra, the front of Ford/Mitsubishi. And it comes without multilink rear suspension again, unlike the competition.
Both in golf 8 and the new leon, the removal of physical buttons is a no-go for me. It should be illegal for car manufacturers to remove commonly used functions and place them on a touch screen. I foresee many accidents due to this, as it is the exact same as fiddling with a phone while driving.
I love the car so much, I bought one!!! To be delivered in week 40 !!!
cool enjoy =)
Dear Autogefühl is the new Leon equipped with selective matix high beam function?
Please watch, all explained 😊
VW AG cars are supposed to be logical and user friendly. What’s logical about not having physical climate or audio knobs and buttons, a tiny automatic gear lever & a massive screen that sticks up out from the dash?
Golf is in trouble. The new Leon and Octavia both look better than the Golf Mk8 (particularly in estate versions) and both have improved their refinement.

But if they've made the Leon bigger and made the Octavia more refined.....why would I pay £3k more for a Golf?

Is the consumption same for 2ltr D and 1.5 tsi Thomas ?

thanks, feel free to recommend!
When is top version cupra ST 310hp expected to be reviewed?
autumn maybe? not sure yet
Good job!
If you get the 1.5 TSI and option the DCC do you get multi-link suspension in the rear?

How was the roadnoise compared to octavia and maybe Ceed?
not too much of a difference afaik. I think the Ceed is a little worse as for that
A very good car, I like it very much!))) It is very bad that there is no option in the sedan, before it was the legendary Toledo! It is also very very bad that the Cupra Leon Hatch brand does not have all-wheel drive and a manual transmission!((( Savings...Probably all the fault of the unceasing Dieselgate!(((
Ty for the review. Is there anybody who can tell me the color of the FR which is showed 3:40. It really make the car more beautiful. I have ordered one, and just need to decide color... :)
congratulation a little bit of german accent but the analisys is quite perfect. go ahead mate
Stick with us!

Nunca sonríes...??? Buena prueba
Great car but this touchscreens are not so good.. Take a look at our 2.0T Leon ST.
Those interface colors are so tacky. How hard is it to have someone with decent UI/UX knowledge to over see those multimedia systems.
If you are committing to have everything controlled through the screen you have to make sure you have good UI/UX in place.
Do you have kangaroo effect during cold start?

good question, checked it in the price list, doesnt seem to be an option nor included in the FR. Maybe they ll leave that for the Cupra
and then came reality with the constantly crashing infotainment system, which is extremly unpractical even if it works. Really not intuitive and some buttons on the screen are so small that you never hit them if the car is a little bit in motion. It's the nicest car from outside I ever had and the worst concerning functions and electronical reliability.
Yeah they did mess up the infotainment
2.0 tsi? Where?

You can hear the suspension at every bump, it's disappointing to be honest.
Get 16' wheels
Its a shame because the back really doesnt look that nice. They tried too hard whereas the skoda octavia looks properly in proportion and smart.
When you say longer, please say the G like you would do in the german word Gestern!! Vielen dank :-)
His English is fantastic.
A back only a mother would appreciate.
Agree, the bank of the former model was perfect.
42 min. A bit too long to keep me focussed

can’t hear that sorry
The SEAT logo looks so 90s....
Climate controls should always be physical knobs.
Touchscreens as car interface must be the most stupid technology application since 1885.

Ce bien
Arm rest is too short!
You can extend it
Thomas the st is very ugly at the rear. That’s what everyone loved about the previous generation. Big disappointment 😢 the Cupra st hasn’t any Hope now.
Things NOT to do. Don't copy the Telsa Model 3 by making everything touch screen. What a terrible trend. Rant over. Ok not quite over, my god, vents controlled by a screen control? Who thought, omg, sliding that manual vent control is sooooooo dangerous/laborious! We should reinvent that!
Ok back ot the review, while you were driving on the highway through that construction area, I kept looking in the mirror & it was driving me crazy thinking that white van was tailgating you! Back off bro, stop harassing our Thomas! But that BMW wagon passing you was very nice. Ok, yes I was taking in the view a lot, but I was listening to you Thomas. It's just that this car is kind of dull. Maybe it was the fridge colour that lulled me to sleep. Go get the Golf R wagon if you want a cool wagon. Ok, blow your load and get a RS4 wagon. These little engines are like getting a game misconduct in hockey or getting a red card in football.
