The SEAT Exeo (pronounced 'ex-AY-o') was a compact executive car, and flagship model, built by the Spanish car manufacturer SEAT, subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group. Previously codenamed ''Bolero''〔 (though not to be confused with SEAT's earlier concept car bearing the same name) and internally designated ''Typ'' 3R, the name ''Exeo'' derives from the Latin word ''exire'', meaning "to go beyond",〔〔 breaking SEAT's recent tradition to name its cars after Spanish cities. This car was made available in 4-door saloon or 5-door estate styles only. Production of the Exeo ended in 2013, and it was replaced by SEAT Toledo for the saloon, and the SEAT León ST for the estate. ==Overview== The Exeo is a D-segment model which is built on the Volkswagen Group B7 (PL46) platform. It is essentially a rebadged Audi A4 B7 generation,〔〔 with styling changes to the front and rear by way of unique bonnet, front wings, boot lid, doors and exterior door mirrors.〔 It incorporates interior trim from the A4 Cabriolet, and extensively uses A4 B6 and B7 interior equipment and electrical components.〔 To this purpose, the entire Audi A4 B7 production and assembly lines from Ingolstadt were dismantled and installed in Volkswagen Group's related SEAT factory in Martorell, Spain.〔 The Exeo was officially revealed at the 2008 Paris Motor Show,〔 and at launch, it was confirmed to be available in just one car body style, as a 4-door, 5-seater saloon (''Typ'' 3R5).〔 However, from August 2009, it also available as a 5-door, 5-seater estate,〔 called Exeo ST (''Typ'' 3R9).〔 ST is an abbreviation for Sport Tourer. It became available for purchase in Western Europe in early 2009, with a model lineup which initially included three petrol engines and two diesel engines, with a third lower-powered diesel engine being added from September 2009. In 2010 three new petrol engines entered production, these were the 1.8 TFSI , the 1.8 TFSI and the 2.0 TFSI .〔 It is available with three different trim levels: ''Reference'', ''Stylance'' and ''Sport''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SEAT Exeo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
