The Leon2049 is a 3-in-1 leisure vehicle. Thanks to electro-responsive materials, the glazed surface changes shape according to user's needs. 3 modes are available: Coupé (1+1 seat), Standard (5 seats) and Cruiser (6 seats facing each other). Thanks to Plasmagnetic Levitation, it doesn't need wheels or asphalt to move. And to tracks, for that matter. Huge stretches of lawn will replace today's unsustainable streets.
Inspirations
To design a vehicle for the year 2049 it was necessary to think not only about the concept of a car for that time, but also about the environment - the city, people's lifestyles, and so on - and how this would influence automotive design. A whole Reality was created, as described above, and imagine how the SEAT Leon would fit in that reality. SEAT's DNA was rather important in the design of the 50-year anniversary edition of the Leon. Starting with the Seat 600, touching the Toledo and ending in the Leon.
Besides the context of technology evolution, two images were relevant in the design process: the hands holding a planet, suggesting protection and the image of a highway at night with its dynamism. These pictures were interpreted and used in the shaping of the Leon2049.
