The start point for the best source of fleet information
When the Exeo was launched in April 2009 it lacked an automatic transmission.
Seat has now rectified the situation and offers an auto gearbox mated to its 2.0-litre TDI 143hp engine. Costing £1500 more than its manual counterpart, the Multitronic loses out in emissions, at 153g/km versus 136g/km CO2 for the manual. It also means decreased fuel consumption from 54.3mpg to 48.7mpg.
If that doesn't put you off, then the gearbox is decent, as you'd expect from a transmission sourced from sister brand Audi. It smoothly shifts through the gears, with options for sport or manual modes, the latter able to controlled through steering wheel-mounted shift paddles.
Seat has also increased rear passenger space by 44mm thanks to redesigning the front and rear seats and revised the rear lights, which now use LED technology.
