The SEAT León (1999–2006) is 418.3 cm long, 174.2 cm wide and 143.9 cm tall, with a 251.3 cm wheelbase. That makes it about 10 cm longer than the average 5-door hatchback in our guide (409 cm across 212 versions). In size it is closest to the Volkswagen Golf Mk4 5-door hatchback (1997, 3.5 cm shorter), the BMW 1 Series 5-door hatchback (2004, 4.4 cm longer) and the Alfa Romeo 147 5-door hatchback (2000, 3 cm longer).

Will it fit my garage?

Assumes a UK standard parking bay of 4.8 × 2.4 m and a typical UK single garage of 4.8 × 2.4 m inside (2.1 m high) with a 7 ft × 6 ft 6 in (213 × 198 cm) up-and-over door. Where we have no width-with-mirrors figure we add 20 cm to the body width. “Comfortably” leaves about 60 cm to walk round and open a door; “tight” means it goes in but getting out is awkward. Garages and bays vary a lot — measure yours and use the garage fit checker. For guidance only.
