News from SEAT: Revealed: the Exeo ST, SEAT's first upper-medium estate
• Estate version of new SEAT Exeo, as shown at Geneva Motor Show
• The Spanish brand's first entry into the upper-medium estate sector
• Available at SEAT dealer showrooms now at a starting price from £19, 240 RRP
After hitting UK showrooms nationwide, the SEAT Exeo has been joined at the head of the upper-medium segment by a more capacious cousin - the SEAT Exeo ST - which made its world debut at the world-famous Geneva Motor Show. And building on the fantastic press reaction to the Exeo saloon, the Exeo ST looks set to be the wise choice from those in the know.
Available in SEAT dealer showrooms now, the new estate significantly strengthens SEAT's offering to those searching for an executive class car that combines great driving appeal and remarkable value for money.
Measuring 4.67 metres in length, the Exeo ST brings even more practicality, elegance and sporting style to its market segment. And with bags of extra space, the Exeo ST is the perfect model for any aspiring weekend adventurers. Boasting a boot capacity of 442 litres, there’s room for mountain boards, diving gear, climbing equipment... as well as the weekly shop, of course.
Like its saloon sibling, the Exeo ST is manufactured on a new line at the brand's modern factory in Martorell, near Barcelona. This luxurious Latin newcomer is offered in the UK in S, SE, Sport and range-topping SE Lux trim levels, with a choice of the latest generation of TSI petrol and Common Rail diesel engines.
All Euro V-compliant, the power plant selection include a brace of hi-tech common rail turbodiesels producing 143 PS or 170 PS, as well as a potent 200 PS turbocharged petrol. They are all mated, as standard, to a six-speed manual gearbox and all endow the Exeo ST with spirited performance.
Among the equipment highlights guaranteed to appear across the Exeo ST line-up are Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity; cruise control; steering wheel-mounted audio controls; dual zone climate control and stylish alloy wheels.
Like its saloon counterpart, an extensive array of options allow Exeo ST buyers to personalise their cars in great detail. A DVD-based satellite navigation system, double-glazed side windows, electrically adjustable and heated front seats, and hi-tech solar sunroof all feature among the extras available.
The Exeo ST is available in SEAT Dealer showrooms now and ready to buy at the starting price of just £19, 240 RRP.
