- ❝ A top-selling Japanese import.❞
- ―In-game description in Watch Dogs.
The Sumitzu Auto Leo is a four-door sedan featured in Watch Dogs.
Design[]
The Leo takes a strong influence from the German-American styling featured on the fifth generation Buick Regal (North American version of the first generation Opel/Vauxhall Insignia), as shown on the front fascia, particularly the grille, headlight shape and front bumper, along with the rest of the main body and greenhouse area. The side windows takes a reminiscent of a Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class C117. The two projector lights design, the "belt-line" above the door handles, and exhausts were taken from the 2005-2008 Acura RL (KB1) (also known as the Honda Legend in Japan), which supports the in-game description of the car describing to its "Japanese" origins. The rear fascia is evidently based on the 2009-2010 Audi A6 (C6).
The front end of the car draws an inspiration from European cars and has been designed with luxurious intent; it has a large central front grille, comprised of horizontal chrome strips and chrome edges, with a large manufacturer logo in the center. The headlights on either side are curved in shape, with the bottom edges coinciding with the bottom edge of the grille. The headlights feature two main circular lamps and indicator lamp further from the center, running along the lower edge of the headlight unit is a strip of LED lights. The front bumper features three shallow vents close to the bottom edge of the bumper, one for each third of the car's width.
The main body is made up from elegant and smooth curves, not just along the lower body area, but also the greenhouse area of the car, creating a smooth overall profile. The main body line that separates the upper body from the lower body is a convex curve that runs from just behind the peak of the front wheel-arch to the top of the rear lights. The side windows are lined with chrome trim, the B-pillars are also finished in chrome. The car features ten-spoke alloy wheels, wrapped in medium profile tyres.
The rear end is fairly simple; it is made up of an impressed registration plate area whose edges are parallel to the inner edges of the rear lights. The rear lights are mainly clear coloured, and outlined by a red area. There is also a brake light strip mounted centrally, inside, just beneath the top edge of the rear windscreen. The rear bumper has an area on the lower edge which is filled with black plastic and houses two ovular exhaust tips; one on either side.
Performance[]
The Leo has a low top speed, but has a good acceleration and good handling. The car is not very resistant, but is still able to manage a few collisions before it is completely damaged.

Trivia[]
- The rear seats of the Leo has three separate headrests, hinting the car can seat up to five, thought it is impossible to fit three persons inside of it due to game limitations.
- Despite the Leo is designed after an European, if not specifically, German design, it is very inaccurately described as "a Japanese import" in the game description, this is likely a fact that the car is suggested as Japanese-built and German-designed.
- The manufacturer logo of the Leo is not the same as the ones found on other Japanese-inspired cars, such as the Kigan AWD.
- The normal Leo is front-wheel drive. However, the Fixer variant is rear-wheel drive, so the player is able to perform a burnout with it.
