I believe currently only the FR/Xcellence models have it as standard. Everything else is an extra. I have a 2017 FR and it has the basic DRL's. I think that changed to the LED's in late 2018???
@Krish123; LED headlamps were an extra cost option on SE models and above in 2017; page 20 of brochure at the link below. That was when the model range consisted of just the S, SE, FR and Xcellence;
They’re standard now on FR models and above. I think they became standard when Seat dropped the entry level S model and expanded the model range from four to six models (SE, SE technology, FR, FR Sport, Xcellence and Xcellence Lux) but I don’t know exactly when that happened. Brochure at the link below is dated Dec 2018 and LED headlamps are listed as standard equipment on page 4 for the FR and above.
Ye, I was just a bit confused as everything I saw now had everything (minus a couple of optional extras) included in the trim. I wasn’t aware that in 2017 they had all of this stuff as optional extras.
In the UK they simplified everything. Lots of companies have done similar- look at Audi's lineup. Some companies have said something about it being to do with the WLTP protocols, but the fact that Seat aren't doing this 'EZ move' approach in other countries says that's false. I think certain currency changes since a certain referendum might have something to do with it. Going the route Seat have minimises production costs and maximises return when currency fluctuations are causing havoc.
