Currently reading: Seat Exeo Ecomotive from £20,040

The new super-frugal oil-burner achieves 62.8mpg and 117g/km CO2 emissions

Seat has launched its most fuel efficient Exeo ever – the Seat Exeo Ecomotive - which is priced from £20,040.

The frugal 2.0-litre oil-burner is available with two power flavours – 118bhp and 141bhp – both of which achieve the same 62.8mpg and 117g/km CO2 emissions figures.

Features of the eco Exeo include a stop-start system and low rolling resistance tyres, plus lower-than-standard suspension and Seat’s Energy Recovery system. The new Exeo variant is available in either saloon or ST body styles. 

Buyers can choose between five trim levels - S, SE, SE Tech, Sport, and Sport Tech – with standard kit comprising 16-inch alloys, climate and cruise control, voice-activated Bluetooth and a multi-function steering wheel. 

SE spec cars add rain sensing wipers, automatic headlights and rear parking sensors, while Sport models also come equipped with sports seats, bi-xenons, LED daytime running lights and taillights, plus tinted glass and gloss black flourishes to the car’s cabin. 

Tech-equipped Exeo Ecomotive’s feature sat-nav, black leather seats and an uprated stereo system.

The new Seat Exeo Ecomotive now sits in VED band C – a first for the model – which costs £30 in road tax. The Ecomotive Exeo variant also sits the car in the 17 per cent BIK bracket.

It's less expensive than the car on which it is based, but underneath, is the Seat Exeo anything more than a reheated Audi A4? Time to find out

The Price is NOT Right ...

From £20K? ... For effectively a last-generation "cut price" A4 clone? ... The new-generation A4 is from only £3K more (probably less if you haggle) ... Not exactly outstanding 'Value For Money' ...

I always found Seats to be slightly uncomfortable, with not eenough padding on the seats, and overly stiff suspension giving them a "sport" character.

Still, a good idea for a cut price Audi without the pretentious badge.
