The 2026 Cupra Leon refresh adds a PHEV option, premium interior, and Sportstourer wagon, starting at $49,000.

The 2026 Cupra Leon gets a mid-life refresh with updated styling, a more premium interior featuring a 12.9-inch touchscreen and 10.25-inch digital cluster, and a new Sportstourer wagon variant. It introduces a second-generation e-Hybrid PHEV powertrain with over 120km of WLTP electric range, with a 245kW AWD performance wagon to follow in mid-2026. Pricing has increased post-clearance, starting around $49,000 for the hatchback. The model competes with the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series, Mercedes-Benz A-Class, and high-spec Hyundai i30 and Mazda 3, offering a driver-focused experience with refined materials and distinctive design, though it remains a niche choice with limited connected-car tech and noticeable road noise.
