Changes are in line with the 'Arrow' design these, first seen on the new Ibiza.
There's a new grille with a smaller SEAT logo and more stylised chrome surround as well as larger headlights, new door mirrors and new wheel designs. At the rear, the glass area is larger, while the rear hatch and light clusters have also been modified.
Inside, there are modifications to the instrument panel and centre console as well as changes to the door panel trim and materials.
Engineering upgrades to the new models include the availability of XDS electronic traction control technology. Mimicking the function of a conventional limited slip differential but doing without the costly and heavy mechanicals associated with existing systems, XDS works together with ESP to improve the car’s performance in situations where traction is lost by braking the wheel that loses grip.
Five petrol and five diesel engines now offer improved performance as well as reduced fuel consumption and emissions. They include a 211hp 2.0 TSI petrol unit and a 170hp 2.0 TDI.
