I really got to love the gauges on my 2013 Seat Leon. The design shares many similaritise with the same generation Volkswagen group cars like the Audi A3, and yet, there's quite a number of unique elements. I do love the little sophisticated details: For example, the speedometer scale goes from small increments at low speeds (0-10-20-30 km/h) to greater increments at high speeds (200-230-260 km/h) to make it easier to see how your speed changs as you accelerate at town speeds. The needles have a quite nice, delicate style to them and they're always backlit red, even when the dash backlight is off. I also really love the font on the numbers, as well as the fact that they're written in italics.

The Cupra models meanwhile (all the variants with more than 265 horsepower) have gauges with grey dials and white needles. Definitely like them better than the digital gauges on the new VW group models.
