The once cash-strapped Seat brand is on the verge of developing a range of new models, with no less than four different vehicles planned for production within the next three to four years. The launch of the Ibiza hatch last April was just the tip of the iceberg as the Spanish carmaker is now working on a new minicar and compact SUV, as well as the recently revealed Exeo Sedan.

We can also add to that list the new Exeo ST wagon, which is scheduled to make its world debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show.

We can also add to that list the new Exeo ST wagon, which is scheduled to make its world debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show. Designed to go up against wagon variants of cars like the Ford Mondeo, Renault Laguna and Alfa Romeo 159, the Exeo ST is based on the previous generation B7 Audi A4 Avant and will be built at Seat's factory in Martorell, Spain. Not surprisingly, both the Exeo Sedan and Estate features chassis and mechanical components essentially identical to their Audi donor car, including four-link independent front suspension and trapezoidal rear suspension for solid driving dynamics. At launch, ST will be available with three petrol-engines ranging from 102hp (75kW) to 200hp (147kW), plus three common rail turbodiesel engines ranging in power from 120hp (88kW) to 170hp (125kW). A range topping V6 model is expected to be added to the lineup soon after the wagon’s sales launch planned for the middle of the year. The only differences between it and the Exeo Sedan, which goes on sale this month, is a longer body, at 4.666 metres in length, and a boot capacity of 442 litres. Entertainment and electronics features include a navigation system, a new multi-function head unit with MP3 and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a sun roof with solar cells powering a ventilation system. Pricing for the Exeo range starts at €21,990.2010 Seat Exeo sedan2010 Seat Exeo ST wagon2010 Seat Exeo ,Estate, wagon Read More

The once cash-strapped Seat brand is on the verge of developing a range of new models, with no less than four different vehicles planned for production within the next three to four years. The launch of the Ibiza hatch in April was just the tip of the iceberg as the Spanish carmaker is now working on developing a new minicar, compact SUV, estate crossover and a midsized sports sedan. The new sedan is the next model in the pipeline after the Ibiza and is due to be released next year as a 2010 model. The car will be called the Exeo and it will be available in both sedan and wagon bodystyles. The official images show that designers chose to play it safe with a very conservative look for the new model. The rear of the car takes obvious styling influences from sister brand Audi, while the front end features a trademark Seat identity with an almost identical grille and bumper design as the new Ibiza. The wing mirrors are also unique to the Seat version of the car, though the overall look of the car is still very similar to that of the B7 Audi A4. At launch, the new EXEO will feature three petrol-engines ranging from 102hp (75kW) to 200hp (147kW) and three common rail diesel engines of latest generation ranging in power from 120hp (88kW) to 170hp (125kW). The car on show at Paris is fitted with the 2.0L, 200hp (147kW) petrol TSI engine, which is rated at 36.6mpg (6.4L/100km). Unsurprisingly, the Exeo features chassis and mechanical components essentially identical to the B7 Audi A4, including four-link independent front suspension and trapezoidal rear suspension for solid driving dynamics. Entertainment and electronics features will include a navigation system, a new multi-function head unit with MP3/MPEG4/iPod/USB/Bluetooth compatibility, as well as for the first time a sun roof with solar cells powering a ventilation system. The car also features an automatic twin-zone climate control system. Xenon headlights with daytime running light features and around-corner functionality ensure visibility is good even on dark, winding roads, and a full complement of safety features including front, side and curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes and traction control with ESP, help bring the Seat up to the top of the market in terms of crash-resistance and avoidance features.
