The SEAT León Mk1, codename Typ 1M, is the first generation of the León and launched in 1999 as a hatchback. It was produced at Martorell, with 13,401 cars assembled in Belgium, and it was based on the Volkswagen Group A4 (PQ34) platform shared with the Volkswagen Golf Mk4, but sold as a sportier and cheaper alternative. To reinforce that image it had a fastback shape inspired by the Alfa Romeo Alfasud, firmer suspension and wider tyres. The dashboard came from the first-generation Audi A3, and the saloon version was called the SEAT Toledo. Engines ranged from a 1.4-litre 16-valve petrol to the 1.8-litre turbo of the León 20VT and the Cupra R, and some countries had a 2.8-litre VR6 four-wheel-drive Cupra 4 and TDI diesels.
