SEAT’s debut plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), the Leon e-HYBRID, is now available to order, priced from £30,970 RRP OTR.

SEAT is expanding its Tarraco SUV offering with the introduction of the front-wheel drive model with its advanced DSG automatic transmission.

So as if by chance, the time during which my wife was looking at heading on holidays, I was due to have the all-new SEAT Tarraco on loan for review.

DubShed 2018 has come, and almost gone, in the blink of an eye – months of stress and preparations for the organisers and show goers alike, is now nothing short of a distant memory for everyone – we sit back, dreary eyed after a long weekend, and reflect on what the team from GTI NI put together for us this year.

A while back we attended the launch of the all-new SEAT Arona, and having reported on what’s available across the range, we then took the punchy ‘FR Sport’ model out for a blast, and a blast it turned out to be.

Last year the Volkswagen Audi Group, of which SEAT is a part, launched a new chassis, upon which many models will be based – the latest of which is SEAT’s compact crossover, the Arona.

2017 has been a pretty frantic year for both established and fresh car shows and whilst many have surpassed expectations some have fallen foul of the mark.

I am a huge fan of estate cars – fast estate cars to be precise and SEAT have got the perfect answer with their new Leon ST CUPRA 300 4Drive.

The Ibiza from SEAT is a highly popular super-mini that has become more than capable of taking on rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa in a highly competitive sector.

Dubshed takes dual honours even before it opens its doors at the Eikon Exhibition Centre near Lisburn: its the first major show of the year, the season opener if you will; and being the largest car show in Northern Ireland.…
