Seat Exeo ST (2010) with picture
The Spanish brand's sporty SEAT Exeo sedan range has been extended with the arrival on the market of the SEAT Exeo ST estate, a tremendously functional car that combines luxury, comfort and spaciousness with the traditional sporty philosophy that characterises all SEAT models.
The new SEAT Exeo ST goes one step further in terms of practicality and interior functionality. With its family size body styling and new rear hatch, load capacity has been greatly increased and loading itself is much easier. Furthermore, with the launch of the ST, the Exeo range has even more equipment, and new systems that improve on-board safety and comfort, strengthening the position of SEAT's new model within the B segment of mid-sized sedans.
One of the main novelties added to the equipment line-up of the SEAT Exeo range is the BOSE sound system with 10 precision speakers that guarantee unbeatable acoustics within the passenger compartment to round off an attractive offer that includes several infotainment systems. Another outstanding element found on the Exeo is the WIV variable maintenance system, which considerably lengthens the time between service appointments and informs the driver on the distance remaining before the next visit.
The new SEAT Exeo ST looks very similar to the four-door sedan version. The only differences lay in the length of the body, which is 4.666 metres long, and the boot volume, of 442 litres, with increased load capacity when the rear seats are folded. Other elements that identify the new family version are the roof rails, which are handy for transporting bulkier items.
The new SEAT Exeo ST will initially be available with three petrol engines - the 102 hp 1.6, 150 hp 1.8 and 200 hp 2.0 TSI, and two Diesel choices - the 143 and 170 hp 2.0 units (the 120 hp version will be ready in September 2009) equipped with DPF particulate filter and common rail technology. They are all mated to a six-speed manual gearbox that fully complies with EU5 emissions legislation coming into effect in 2011.
