Detailed analysis of the SEAT Exeo ST Sport 2.0 TDI CR 143 CV Multitronic (2012-2013)
General description
The SEAT Exeo ST Sport 2.0 TDI CR 143 CV with Multitronic gearbox, launched in 2012, represents SEAT's commitment to the family sedan segment, offering a combination of elegance, functionality, and an efficient diesel engine. This model, derived from the previous generation Audi A4, sought to position itself as an attractive and more accessible alternative within its category.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Exeo ST Sport 2.0 TDI CR 143 CV Multitronic offers a balanced driving experience. The 143 CV diesel engine, with its 320 Nm of torque from low revolutions, provides energetic and sufficient response for most situations, allowing acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.6 seconds. The Multitronic automatic transmission, known for its smoothness, contributes to remarkable driving comfort, especially on long journeys. The suspension, with a deformable parallelogram both front and rear, effectively filters out asphalt irregularities, offering a good compromise between comfort and stability. The hydraulic steering, although not the most direct, transmits an adequate sense of control. Overall, it is a car that invites you to travel peacefully, without sacrificing responsiveness when required.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the SEAT Exeo ST Sport, although based on the Audi A4 B7 platform, manages to maintain its own identity with characteristic SEAT features of the time. The family body (ST) gives it an elegant and functional silhouette, with fluid lines that disguise its size. The front headlights, with a sporty touch, and the distinctive SEAT grille give it a sober but attractive presence. The 17-inch wheels with 225/45 R17 tires enhance its Sport character. Inside, the quality of materials and adjustments are notable, inheriting much of Audi's ergonomics and good workmanship, which translates into a well-finished and visually pleasing cabin.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2012 SEAT Exeo ST Sport 2.0 TDI CR 143 CV Multitronic incorporates elements that, for its time, were competitive. The 2.0 TDI CR (Common Rail) engine is a modern and efficient diesel engine, which complies with Euro 5 regulations and offers a combined consumption of 5.5 l/100km. The Multitronic transmission, a continuously variable gearbox, stands out for its smoothness and for optimizing engine speed to improve efficiency. In terms of safety, it has ventilated disc brakes at the front and discs at the rear, in addition to the usual driving assistance systems. The interior, although not a splurge of avant-garde, offers a functional infotainment system and clear, legible instrumentation.
Competition
The SEAT Exeo ST Sport 2.0 TDI CR 143 CV Multitronic competed in a highly contested segment, facing models such as the Volkswagen Passat Variant, the Ford Mondeo Sportbreak, the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer, and the Skoda Octavia Combi. It also positioned itself as a more economical alternative to its 'cousin' the Audi A4 Avant. Its main asset against these rivals was the combination of a proven and quality platform (that of the Audi A4 B7) with a more adjusted price and a design with SEAT's sporty touch.
Conclusion
The 2012 SEAT Exeo ST Sport 2.0 TDI CR 143 CV Multitronic is a car that, despite its origin on an older platform, managed to offer a very complete package. It stands out for its driving comfort, the efficiency of its diesel engine, and the quality of its interior finishes.
