Originally launched in October of 1998, the SEAT León is a smaller family vehicle built by SEAT, S.A. (the Spanish automobile manufacturer) and the Volkswagen Group. To date, there have been two generations of SEAT León cars produced. The Type 1M or Mk1 was manufactured from 1998 until 2006 and the Type 1P or Mk2 has been manufactured since 2005. The Mk1 was the hatchback version of the Toledo model, while the Mk2 has a much sharper exterior image, with more integrated external rear door handles and vertically-mounted windshield wipers.

The Mk1 was produced with a transverse engine and either 4-wheel or front-wheel drive. With a choice of three transmissions including a 4-speed automatic, and a 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission and a choice of 3 diesel and 6 petrol engines to select from. The Mk2 offered more diversity with 11 different engine choices (1 LPG, 3 diesel, and 7 petrol) and 4 choices of transmissions (5 and 6-speed manual and a 6 and 7-speed Direct-Shift Gearbox). These features make the vehicle a desirable choice whether it is a used SEAT León or a new one.
