2.0TDi and 2.0FSi I would guess are immediate candidates. Then in the name of Ecomotive-ness they will probably bung a 1.4TSi and a 1.9TDi in there somewhere. I haven't seen any mention of any tasty engines for it yet

SEAT UK declined the opportunity to bring the 1.6 & 1.8TSi engines into the UK. They have told us that they only want to bring in 2 engines for this car - the 2.0 CRDi in 120 PS, 143 PS & 170 PS variants & 2.0 TSi.

I dont think the 1.8 is a TSi

 

[liverpoolsteve]

There was a rumour that it would be the 1.8 TSi 160 PS as found in the Altea XL, seems I stand corrected and that it is going to be 1.8T 150 PS engine after all.

well i wish the rumour was correct cause them engines are far behind the competition at this stage. It should have been 1.4TSi 125ps and 1.8TSi 160ps. The 1.6 and the 1.8T hav as much co2's as the 2.0TSi aswel.............

AT the moment the only definite engine choices will be the 200PS petrol and the 120, 143 and 170 Tdi although not all these will be available at launch. As to the 3.0TDi, I think the answer is; there is no answer!

This is a completely new market for SEAT and they're going to monitor demand and not take any risks. It seems they've learned their lesson from the Cordoba, Toledo and Freetrack fiascos and will hedge their bets very carefully.

I've been told they are "looking at 4 wheel drive, DSG and maybe a bigger diesel" all pretty sensible ideas but if they said to me that I had to buy a 3.0Tdi demo at £25K+ I'd be telling them to go forth and multiply!

 

[richard150]

Im guessing it wouldnt be to difficult to borrow the v6 tdi out of the audi a6 etc. Awesome looking car, didnt even know till now they were making it!

 

[car_guy143]

Agreed, it's a nice looking car. Basically it's an Audi A4 with a "cheaper" label on it.

I'll be on the lookout for one in a few years on the used car scene.

 

[CHR15-53AT]

i'll take a 4.2V8 Quattro if there's one going

 

[UncleFester]

3.0Tdi would fit as it's no longer a transverse engine layout

 

[Leonidas]

I doubt SEAT will be allowed that engine. I heard Audi will use it again for the new RS4(Updated of course).

 

[CHR15-53AT]

your probably right lol aww well im sure someone out there with some spare cash might fancy an engine transplant, not much point like, might as well buy the Audi lol, but hay it would be different, Hmmm what about some tunning garage doing a one off W12 or W16 ... i predict a big project in the future

 

[Leonidas]

Sure ya never no. In the future they might do one with Audi's new 2.5TSi with 4wd.
And maby even a Black front(like bocanegra)

 

[NickyJam]

i doubt SEAT will add any more engines to the line-up...they always have the tendancy to use the same engines and tweak them producing better engine performance without affecting other parameters too badly

 

[psimperson]

I've got a feeling that Seat might launch more engines but its only a feeling

 

[GazGT]

I highly doubt the top of the range TDI from the A4 will end up in the exeo. Audi always keep the very best for themselves.

I'd like to see a 2.5 5-cyl diesel. Now they've gone back to doing a straight 5s like the engine in the new TT RS It would make sense to do a diesel one. Might be too long for the engine bay but if they did it I'd fancy one, would be better on fuel than a V6 without many drawbacks.
