Seat Leon is the new Car of the Year 2021

New Seat Leon succeeds the Toyota Corolla

The Seat Leon is the new Car of the Year in Portugal, succeeding Toyota Corolla, winner in 2020, with the familiar of the Martorell brand deserving the preference of the panel of judges of the ‘Car of the Year / Crystal Wheel Trophy’ initiative, having imposed itself among the batch of 35 candidates for the competition in the edition this year.

In the final stage of the contest, Leon was in direct competition with six other finalists, which included the Citroën C4, Cupra Formentor, Hyundai Tucson, Skoda Octavia, Toyota Yaris and Volkswagen ID.3.

This is the third time that Seat Leon wins the title of Car of the Year in Portugal, after receiving the distinction in 2011 and 2014.

Over four months, two dozen of jury journalists carried out thousands of kilometers of tests on the 35 models, a record number, which presented themselves in the competition at the 38th edition of this award. They analyzed items as diverse as design, behavior and safety, comfort, ecology, connectivity, design and quality of construction, performances, price and consumption, ending up choosing the compact family, produced by the Spanish brand of the Volkswagen group, as Car of the Year 2021.
