2012 SEAT Exeo gets updated looks, lower emissions

The SEAT Exeo has been updated for the 2012 model year with minor changes – a revised face with new bi-xenon headlamps and LED daytime running lights, new alloy wheels, and improved leather on the interior.

There are also revisions to the engine bay, mostly to reduce emissions – the 2.0 TDI engine now emits 129g/km, with economy up to 58.9 mpg on the EU combined cycle for the sedan.

SEAT will also add a model with the Ecomotive badging later, optimised for fuel economy with features such as auto start/stop. SEAT targets a CO2 emissions figure of less than 120g/km for the Ecomotive version.

    I am a big fan of SEAT, like the Ibiza, leon etc.. Unfortunately they did not sell in Malaysia. =( Somehow, it shares the same platform with Audi A4.. SEAT is pronounced as see-art and not sit..

      Actually the Exeo is the previous gen A4, just slightly modified. They just shifted the factory to Spain and changed a few parts. Something like Myvi vs. Sirion.

      a real pity….if volkswagen did their marketing well they could have used this brand as a budget car platform for our country with the ckd program as the import of Skoda is owned by some random crony in malaysia
