There is a new
brochure (August) on the SEAT UK site. This one has a proper "blob chart" so that you can see clearly what is included or perhaps in the case of the SE what isn't included
.
'Lowlights' of the SE, which I have on my 2011 1.2 TSi SE, are:-
Heated door mirrors.
Mirror in passenger sun visor.
Height adjustable passenger seat.
Front seatback storage pockets.
Rear electric windows.
Cruise control.
Rear disc brakes.
Alarm.
A decent bright paint job without paying extra - mines red!
A 45 litre fuel tank - it's down to 40.
On a 2017 car I'd also expect to get a DAB radio!
We had a look at a new SE the other day and took along a couple of suitcases and a bigish cardboard box since that's what two of us put in the boot on holiday. I can't believe the boot is 58 litres (297 -> 355) bigger; I'd guess more like 20. I'm suspect the salesman didn't believe the difference either when he saw the stuff in both the old and new cars!
All in all we were pretty disappointed and wound up buying a nearly new VW Polo 1.2 TSi Match which has all the kit on the list above and more - parking sensors and DAB radio etc etc. We don't actually need a car 3 inches wider - the lanes around here are narrow!
We'd have bought a new or nearly new old
Ibiza but the models with 1.0 TSi or 1.2 TSi engine don't have cruise control unless you go for the FR and we didn't want the "Sports" seats and harder ride with more road noise from the 45 profile tyres. It's too late to order cruise as an option since production has stopped.
Petrol consumption of the new
Ibiza 1.0 TSI 95 is the same as the old Polo 1.2 TSI 90 (60 mpg - might get 50) and 0-62 acceleration is the same. So I get the same performance and economy with the smoother 4 cylinder EA211 engine which shouldn't have the timing chain worries of the 8 valve 1.2 TSI we have on the
Ibiza.
No point waiting to see the new Polo - that may include more kit but you'll sure pay for it!
