The FR is expected to be one of the most popular models in the Leon range and its residuals reflect that.
While the standard Leons have strong predicted values at defleeting time, the FR is a couple of percentage points stronger still.
We put it up against its Volkswagen Group stablemate, the Octavia vRS – same engine, but less sporty image and more expensive.
