Seat’s value-for-money new saloon is a lightly-re-engineered last-generation Audi A4, however Seat has entirely reworked the suspension and added the VW group’s latest two-litre, common-rail diesel engines and an interior lifted from the A4 Cabriolet.
In a trick borrowed from sister company Audi - which first used it on its big A8 - the Exeo (say [...]
The SEAT Bocanegra - Click above for a high-res gallery
SEAT has morphed the Bocanegra Concept into a production-ready car and stayed largely true to the concept. The car isn’t something completely new - it’s more of an option package fitted to the Cupra. As such, the aesthetic differences don’t serve any additional purpose - the [...]
Variety, so they say, is the spice of life.
