A guide to every SEAT we can lease today: the Ibiza and Leon hatchbacks and the Arona SUV, with petrol across all three and a plug-in hybrid Leon. It explains what each model is for and how to pick between them.
SEAT takes Volkswagen Group engineering and gives it a bit more Spanish attitude in the styling, which is why its cars have long been seen as the sharper-looking, slightly more youthful option among the group's mainstream brands.
The current SEAT line-up we price covers three models across two body styles: the Ibiza and Leon hatchbacks, and the Arona SUV. Petrol runs through all three, and the Leon adds a plug-in hybrid option.
Choosing between them is mostly about footprint. The Arona, the one SUV in the range, gives you a higher driving position, five seats and a 400-litre boot, while the two hatchbacks cover town driving and family duty.

The models we can lease today and their manufacturer data. Last updated 20 September 2026.
SEAT is the Spanish arm of the Volkswagen Group, known for sharing its engineering with its German sister brands while styling it more expressively. Reviewers consistently describe its cars as good to drive, well built and easy to live with.
The range we lease is deliberately compact rather than sprawling. Sizes start with the Ibiza at 4.07 m and rise to the Leon, so nothing here is awkward on a narrow street or in a multi-storey.
Cover is consistent too: every SEAT we price carries a 3-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty, with no model getting a longer or shorter deal than another. None of the three is a full battery-electric car, although the Leon is offered as a plug-in hybrid for drivers moving away from pure petrol.
Three models, two body styles. The Arona is the SUV; the Ibiza and Leon are the hatchbacks. All three seat five, all three are offered with petrol engines, and the Leon is the one that also comes as a plug-in hybrid.
The SEAT Arona suits drivers who want a raised seating position without a big car to park. It's petrol only, seats five, carries 400 litres of luggage, measures 4.16 m long and tows up to 1,200 kg braked, across five trims. Deals start from £252.42 a month.
The SEAT Ibiza is the small one: 4.07 m long, five seats, a 355-litre boot and braked towing up to 1,100 kg. Petrol only, five trims, and the same 3-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty. Deals start from £232.70 a month.
The SEAT Leon is the family car of the range, offered with petrol or plug-in hybrid power. It's about 4.37 m long, seats five, holds 270 to 620 litres depending on version, tows up to 1,700 kg braked and holds a 5-star Euro NCAP rating. Three body styles each have their own page, linked from the model page. Deals start from £280.91 a month.
SEAT doesn't give us a fully electric car to lease at the moment. What it does offer a driver stepping away from straight petrol is the Leon, the one model in the range available as a plug-in hybrid.
A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) pairs a petrol engine with a battery you charge from a socket, so short local trips can be done on electricity while the engine is there for longer runs. That suits people who can charge at home or at work but still do the occasional long motorway drive without planning around chargers.
The Arona and the Ibiza remain petrol. If a full battery-electric car is what you actually want, our electric and hybrid leasing guides are the sensible next stop.
Leasing a SEAT means driving the car on a fixed monthly rental for an agreed term and mileage, then handing it back. Every model we price is covered by a 3-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty, which lines up neatly with a typical lease.
You'll still arrange insurance and routine servicing yourself unless you add a maintenance package, and the car stays with the finance company throughout. What you avoid is the part most owners find hardest to predict: what the car will be worth when you're finished with it.
The Leon is a good example of why that matters. A plug-in hybrid asks harder questions about future values than a petrol hatchback does, and on a lease those questions aren't yours to answer.
Start with what the car has to do rather than which badge you like. The range is small enough that each model answers a fairly distinct question, and only one of them stretches to plug-in hybrid power.
Want the smallest and easiest to park? That's the Ibiza, at 4.07 m, with a 355-litre boot that's still usable for a weekly shop or a weekend away.
Need a family car? The Leon is the one to look at, with five seats, 270 to 620 litres of boot depending on version and a 5-star Euro NCAP rating.
Towing something? Again the Leon, rated up to 1,700 kg braked. The Arona manages up to 1,200 kg and the Ibiza up to 1,100 kg, which covers a small trailer rather than a caravan.
Want a plug? The Leon is the only SEAT here offered as a plug-in hybrid. And if you need seven seats, this range won't do it - all three SEATs we lease are five-seaters, so a larger SUV from another brand is the honest answer. Our guide to choosing your car walks through mileage, term and spec.
Specifications from SEAT's UK data and Euro NCAP; equipment, towing limits and availability vary by version, so check the individual deal.
