SEAT Exeo

What is the SEAT Exeo?

The Exeo was SEAT’s mid-size saloon and estate, giving the Spanish maker a larger car in its range. Its single generation, code 3R, ran from 2009 to 2013.

The Exeo shared much of its mechanical basis with the previous Audi A4. SEAT adapted that established mid-size-car foundation for a model with a more formal, spacious character.

Exeo engines and power

EU figures cover 1.6- to 2.0-litre engines and power from 75 kW (102 PS) to 155 kW (211 PS). Diesel and petrol versions are listed, along with an “other” fuel category in EU registrations. UK figures list 2.0-litre engines, with outputs from 88 kW (120 PS) to 155 kW (211 PS); French figures show the same power span.

Diesel versions feature strongly in EU registrations. The leading listed entries are 2.0-litre diesels, including a 105 kW (143 PS) version.

How economical is the SEAT Exeo?

The lowest listed consumption is 4.8 L/100 km in the UK on the NEDC test. France lists 4.5 L/100 km, also under NEDC. Consumption varies by version. EU registration figures record 109,015 Exeos from 2010 to 2014.

European NEDC results use a different procedure from US EPA ratings and Canada’s 5-cycle method, so figures from those markets are not directly comparable.

Where was the Exeo sold?

The Exeo appears in EU registration figures, UK figures and French figures. Their reporting periods differ: 2010–2014 for EU registrations, 2009–2015 in the UK and 2012–2013 in France.
