SEAT Exeo ST 2.0 TDi CR 143PS SE
What is it?
ESTATE car version of SEAT’s business car Exeo saloon called Exeo ST (for Sports Tourer, by the way). Essentially, the Exeo ST is a re-worked version of the previous generation Audi A4 Avant. But it’s not a bad place to start. SEAT has revised the suspension, ride, styling and fitments to provide a highly luxurious alternative estate for your money. Model tested is the £20,945 SE Exeo ST with 2.0-litre diesel engine.
