The VW Group owned company says that both models, which are based on the previous generation Audi A4, are roomier, as there is more space available to backseat passengers after redesigning the front seats and rear bench, while other updates include the introduction of a 7-speed Multitronic transmission on the 2.0 TDI CR Diesel version.<br /></span><p></p><a name="more"></a><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Thanks to some minor revisions to the front seat back and rear bench designs, room in the back is said to have increased by 44 millimeters (+1.7-inches) without affecting seating comfort [according to Seat] or luggage space.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Under the hood, Seat has equipped the 143-hp 2.0 TDI CR Diesel version with the continuously variable Multitronic gearbox. The transmission on this model offers a sport program that delivers gear shifting at higher rev speeds, and a 7-speed manual mode controlled via steering wheel mounted shift paddles.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">According to Seat, this combination returns an average fuel consumption of 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers, which is equal to 40.6 mpg US and 48.7 mpg UK.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Other changes include the revised tail lamps featuring LED technology and the addition of a new 230 V socket on the central console.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">More details including availability will be released at the Paris motor show.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TKHs0SlKfMI/AAAAAAADWZM/eZP7OLLFIrg/s1600/258141.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521955001218006210" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TKHs0SlKfMI/AAAAAAADWZM/eZP7OLLFIrg/s200/258141.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TKHszwE9oWI/AAAAAAADWZE/3LDGRDEtlvM/s1600/25820.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521954991956140386" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TKHszwE9oWI/AAAAAAADWZE/3LDGRDEtlvM/s200/25820.JPG" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TKHszhaZk2I/AAAAAAADWY8/rGjkAMtcebY/s1600/25817.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521954988019520354" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TKHszhaZk2I/AAAAAAADWY8/rGjkAMtcebY/s200/25817.JPG" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TKHszhTUIOI/AAAAAAADWY0/yelpkQ836NA/s1600/25814.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521954987989803234" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TKHszhTUIOI/AAAAAAADWY0/yelpkQ836NA/s200/25814.JPG" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TKHszXvPpeI/AAAAAAADWYs/90zoGd4cuhY/s1600/25810.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521954985422595554" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TKHszXvPpeI/AAAAAAADWYs/90zoGd4cuhY/s200/25810.JPG" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" /></a></p>
