New leon FR brochure binned

[ZBOYD]

Expect the DSG configuration availability for SEAT UK, to be confirmed for the FR and possibly the new Cupra at the London Motorshow.

Now its unlikely to have a Leather option, Cupra may or may not, but personally if i wanted Leather, id get a proper nice real Nappa Leather re-trim over the standard seats.

As whatever the manufacturers offer, isn't really Leather, its more synthetic Leatherette stuff, which is thin and creases easily.

Are they going to release a TDI FR DSG with paddles do you think ?

 

[m0rk]

Not yet.... but maybe they want to test it for longer with the increased torque it puts out

never know - that might be todays PR

december was the date that was quoted by seat for dsg.

but i know a lot of people have asked for the dsg option so it looks like they will bring it forward

audi and vw have it as options from the off so it`s about time.

 

[Harv]

yep that dsg is a petrol .......... no diesel flappy paddle dsg ........ can't see an issue with testing it as its been in the audi for ages.

 

[m0rk]

do the audi's have the 170bhp tdi unit then?

 

[mister.c.]

do the audi's have the 170bhp tdi unit then?

Pretty sure the A3 has, as it has popped up on my company car listings. Didnt see whether DSG was an option

 

[m0rk]

so they do show....

I didn't know that - I thought the Altea FR was meant to be the 1st with it

 

[xJib]

Yep, it's also showing on the Audi website with a DSG.
