seat-exeo-st_thumb SEAT presents the family size version of the ExeoHaving unveiled the SEAT Exeo at the Paris Motor Show last October, the company’s sporty sedan is going on sale in the Spanish market, and is positioned as one of the most technologically advanced models of its category with an extremely competitive price range.

Coinciding with a return to the B segment, the Spanish brand is also presenting a family size version of the new model, with both examples combining luxury, comfort and roominess with the traditional sporty philosophy that characterises all the SEAT models.

The family size version of the new Exeo, called Exeo ST, will go on sale before next summer with an engine range and equipment list that is identical to the for-door model. The only differences will be a longer body, at 4.666 metres in length, and a boot capacity of 442 litres

Both versions will be manufactured at the brand’s factory in Martorell near Barcelona.
