Acquaintance
As mentioned above, the authority Ford Focus indisputable in its segment. In addition, in our country, the car fell in love and they consider it almost their own domestic, because they collect Russian versions at a factory in St. Petersburg. A reliable and developed network of services, as well as affordable prices, have allowed Focus to stay on the leaderboard until recently. But today, the third-generation Ford Focus cannot boast of past achievements, as it fell out of the 25 best-selling models in our country.

"Spaniard" is an unverified option and the first sales took place only this fall. Interestingly, the Seat Leon is strongly associated with the Volkswagen Golf model and is almost the same "German" as this one. But on the other hand, the Spanish roots are forced to treat the car wary, not only in our country, but throughout the world.

Interior Review
The undoubted advantage of the Seat Leon ST can be called adjusted and precise proportions of its body. I also liked moderate aggression in the “look” of slanted headlights. Everything looks quite fresh and modern. The interior design is original, and the interior is thought out to the smallest detail.

Seat Leon ST - wagon, the trunk of which must comply with the standards. And in this regard, it is made to the envy of the rest: both the volume is sufficient and the convenience of loading has no complaints. So, the trunk of this station wagon

The focus on the background of the opponent looks a bit ordinary. Maybe they are used to it, but it cannot be denied in good proportions and recognizable design. Although, on the other hand, time does not stand in place, and the revolutionary interior that seemed four years ago does not shine today. Even a bright and recognizable instrument panel seems cloying due to the bothering blue light, which is clearly a bit too much.
Riding
Nevertheless, the main thing for the car is driving. Let's check how our examinees feel on the roads.

On the move, the Seat Leon, no matter how he hides behind a Spanish suit, is a pure-blooded “German” with all the attendant advantages. Accuracy and reasonableness in all distinguish this car. The steering wheel is heard perfectly, and the 180-liter turbocharged engine. with. promotes active driving. Although there are drawbacks. In particular, when you push the gas pedal and do it intensely, you feel some kind of misunderstanding on the part of the transmission. There is in this case, a jerk under the discharge of gas or transfer freeze during "intensive" acceleration. In fact, this does not happen often, and what could have been said could have been called cavils, but if we started checking, then we should do it with all the ensuing consequences.
Test drive car Seat Leon:
Riding on the Seat Leon will leave only positive impressions, if you do not try to overtake all the cars ahead. Reduce ardor and ride in the moving mass of summer residents and then you will feel the beauty of dynamics, comfort and stability in fast corners.
But the Ford Focus Wagon in this regard - the exact opposite. Absolutely family car, not implying speed maneuvers and almost devoid of excitement - a comfortable wagon. Whether it is possible to call this a drawback is not clear, but the good old aspirated 2 liters with a capacity of 150 liters becomes the fault. with. Unfortunately, Ford Focus has nothing more powerful than this engine. For this reason, the car has a moderate dynamics, but its “robot”, however, is almost never wrong.
Test drive car Ford Focus:
Ford Focus has advantages, and it is impossible to detract from them against the background of the “Spaniard”. First of all, it concerns the accuracy and information content of the steering wheel. Good for this car and directional stability. But the fuel consumption in comparison with the Seat Leon is still more.

Доступной и вполне демократичной ценой может похвастаться «испанец». Начинают продавать версии Сеат Леон у нас с 728 тыс. рублей. Двигатели идут только gasolineовые с турбонаддувом.

Car Seat Leon ST FR: вид сбоку
As for kits, there are four of them. The basic version is already a very rich set, including airbags, ABS and more.
The most top grade equipment for the Seat Leon is the FR, which, depending on the engine, costs from 934 thousand to 1.1 million rubles.
The buyer, despite the rich equipment, may still need other options that have to be ordered. For example, we are talking about rear side airbags, which are not in standard equipment or good acoustics with powerful speakers and a navigator. No exception also the panoramic roof.
Ford Focus Wagon: вид сбоку
Now Ford Focus. It is without options in the station wagon costs from 745 thousand to 903 thousand rubles. Motors are atmospheric 1.6 and 2.0 liters. Combined with engines and manual transmission, and automatic transmission.
Complete set for Ford Focus only two. This is SYNX Editing and Titanium. The basic version is endowed with a little worse than the competitor.
That's it in the trim levels and you notice the age difference most of all. It affects the price.
Total
Universal - the car is very convenient for a family man. He basically does not need to move out of the asphalt and go all over the road. Both of the cars we examined are generalists. The question is which one is better to choose?
Seat Leon can “boast” of a good roomy trunk, which is a huge advantage for a family man. Although not only in this "Spaniard" looks better. On the road, driving pleasure from the Seat Leon you get more, and the Ford Focus seems to be somehow old. And if you still attribute to the advantages of the “Spaniard” an attractive appearance, both inside and outside, Seat Leon clearly wins this seemingly equal duel.
On the other hand, to compare these cars, which according to some experts, are completely different, is wrong or not quite right. The Seat Leon has more powerful engines that simply leave no chance for the aspirated Ford Focus.
As for the Ford Focus, it could be praised except for the refined handling and excellent chassis, although the Seat Leon is not an outsider in this regard.
Seat Leon ST FR - review winner
Conclusion summary: Seat Leon looks much better and wins the review deservedly. For Ford Focus manufacturers, it’s time to think about a broader upgrade and full upgrade.
