For the SEAT / Cupra Leon 4 (SEAT Leon, SEAT Leon Sportstourer, SEAT Leon e-Hybrid, Cupra Leon, Cupra Leon Sportstourer; chassis KL; model years 2020-) our catalogue lists 50 features in 12 categories. Below you see per category what we can switch on or retrofit.
Each feature shows how certain we are: “likely possible” means several independent sources confirm it; “checked at diagnosis” means it differs from car to car. Final compatibility is always confirmed at the diagnosis of your car.
Seven Tuning works in Rotterdam and Waddinxveen: the workshop is in Waddinxveen and serves Rotterdam and the surrounding area. Remote coding works anywhere in the Netherlands and abroad, when the job allows it.
