I am interesting in getting a 1.4 ST with the Xellence trim but I don't seem to be able to find that trim at a dealer (they have FRs). If you have an Xellence do you mind telling me what you think and posting a few pics (especially the dash) please.

Ive got it and its basically a more comfortable FR with a few more perks

If you dont like feeling the pain of potholes and like being comfortable then the Xcellence is for you.

Ill try and get a pic of the dash later thats basically same as FR but with more a X on the steering wheel

Thanks for the info. I thought the dash in the Xcellence was silver and in the FR was black but might be mistaken?

I thought heated seats came standard with the leather? Sorry but I don't know what the mikelly interior is...
One other question is blind spot assistance standard?

If you look on the website for Seat UK Full Leather and Cloth Interiors are no longer options its just the faux half cloth/leather seats they call Mikelly.

Before March you was able to order the winter pack for the cloth or mikelly options and it came as part of the discontinued leather pack.

Blind spot assist and Self Parking never made it to UK spec leon xcellences (They basically cut down on the Ateca Xcellence spec)

The June price list says full leather and winter pack so maybe the options have changed again. I was sat in a cupra at the weekend and that had blind spot assistance but I can't see any mention at all against any spec. :(

Is there any update about the rear suspension setup? The previous Leon, unless it was the 1.8 TSI or Cupra or the FR 184 TDI, the setup was the basic suspension, and the effect when driving was quite noticeable.

Well that explains the price rise if it's standard now!

Blind spot definitely wasn't a option on the hatchback version

Hitting a pothole or bumps you don't feel as much as you do as the 184,its definitely quite soft.

I have just compared the January and June brochures. In January the Mikelly was available but now it's full leather.
For blind spot I think I misunderstood what I saw. I guess that the little square on the inside of the wing mirror is so you can see that the indicator is on not blind spot.
