| SAFETY AND SECURITY RATING: |
 |
For the first time, the Leon can be specified with up to eight airbags. Six are standard on all models, which include driver and passenger's 'bags, side 'bags and curtain 'bags. Side airbags for the rear passengers are optional. Front seat occupants get pretensioning seatbelts, too.
The Leon's bodyshell is stronger than before, with 50 percent more high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels used than in the previous car. That means a stronger body and better passive protection for occupants.
And as is now commonplace with VW Group cars, the Leon comes equipped with a whole range of active safety software, including traction and stability programmes as well as the aforementioned Driver Steering Recommendation system.
The Leon has been engineered to be easier on pedestrians, too, with a nose designed to lessen impact injury for hapless walkers, specifically to the tibia, fibula, knees and hips.
