Seat Adds Spanish Flavour To GTI Treffen 2012

Seat Adds Spanish Flavour To GTI Treffen 2012

MILTON KEYNES, UNITED KINGDOM – May 17, 2012: Seat is once again a star attraction at the exciting GTI Treffen event at Wörthersee in Austria, with a host of head-turning models that reinforce the Barcelona brand’s dynamic character.

The annual hot-hatch fest, which takes place in the Austrian state of Kärnten, is being held from 16 to 19 May – and Seat is treating the vast crowds to six particularly fiery variants of the Leon, Ibiza and, for the first time, the Mii. In their full racing gear, track cars the Ibiza SC Trophy and Leon Super Copa are at the core of the Seat display’s racing theme, while the Mii show car in FR Line configuration appears at GTI Treffen for the first time. For this year’s extravaganza – already in its 31st year – the organisers are predicting to host around 120,000 visitors over the four days of the show.

Ibiza Cupra Concept is the star

The focal point of the Seat stand – which has been created in line with the brand’s new visual identity – is the Ibiza Cupra Concept, a close-to-production glimpse of the new generation of this sporty Seat icon. Just back from its world premiere at the Auto China Show in Beijing just a few weeks ago, the model’s 1.4 TSI packs 180 PS with looks to match the promise of that award-winning motor. The Spice Yellow paintwork contrasts with gloss-black exterior mirrors and 17-inch alloy wheels, with red brake callipers shimmering through the spokes. A particularly large trapezoidal lower air intake emphasises the breadth of this compact sports car, while the angular lines of the headlamps underscore SEAT’s new design philosophy.

Ibiza FR and Leon Cupra R in individual design

One Ibiza and one Leon, each painted in Nevada white, showcase in their individual designs a host of options from the Seat accessory range. The Ibiza FR on display in Reifnitz proudly wears 17-inch wheels in black and polished silver, exterior mirrors and brake callipers painted in red, and an enlarged rear spoiler. Red accents also dominate the interior. On the Leon Cupra R, visual drama comes courtesy of the glossy black rims which contrast perfectly with the ice-white paintwork. Like the Ibiza FR, the eye is also drawn to the red colour of the brake calliper nestling behind each alloy wheel. Inside, piano black lacquer trim inserts make for a stylishly sporty ambience.

Pimp my Mii – tuning for SEAT’s baby

For the first time, Seat is showing a Mii with an added injection of sporty character. The Tornado Red city car turns heads with its powerful presence, complete with black highlights on the wheelarches, an additional spoiler accent and black 16-inch aluminium wheels. Red and black elements make their mark in the interior, too. The sports seats with fully integrated head restraints come with distinctive red FR lettering.

Ibiza SC Trophy and Leon Super Copa for the race track

Two further showpieces hold a licence to compete on the track – the Leon Super Copa and the Ibiza SC Trophy. They are shown at the Wörthersee festival with a special grey paint finish and wheels, while the mirror casings and roll cage are in fluorescent orange.

The Ibiza SC Trophy is now based on the new generation of the Ibiza and is fitted with the 180 PS 1.4 TSI engine. The seven-speed DSG transmission is operated from the steering wheel, as will be the case on the series-production model, while a locking differential guarantees amazing traction. For the high lateral forces that occur under serious racing conditions, the engine comes with a modified oil sump, a powerful brake system and racing suspension running on 18-inch wheels housed under noticeably flared wheel arches. Inside, the dashboard is more minimalist than the series-production version and provides only data truly relevant to racing drivers. The Ibiza SC Trophy is offered by Seat Sport for 31,500 Euros (excl. tax) and is the ideal starting machine for amateur racing drivers. Single-brand race series are currently running very successfully in Spain and Italy.

At a price of 63,000 Euros (excl. tax), the 250 km/h Leon Super Copa represents the more senior league of SEAT Motorsport. Based on its sibling racer from the WTCC, more than 250 units of this model have already been built. The cup car is powered by an uprated version of the 2.0-litre TSI engine from the Leon Cupra R that produces 300 PS. A maximum of 340 Nm of torque travels through a six-speed DSG transmission and mechanically locking differential to the front wheels.

VIP party on the SEAT boat and chill-out zone

The many peripheral events organised by SEAT at the GTI Treffen include a VIP party on the SEAT boat, which will also serve on Thursday as a shuttle service over the lake. During the entire duration of the event, DJs on both the Seat stand and Seat boat will be lining up hot music to accompany cool drinks.

The Seat movie team is also once again on-location. Alongside video productions for the media and Web, it will be making short films with owners of the most eye-catching examples of Seat tuning and uploading them later to the Facebook page of Seat Austria.

The stand is designed in line with the new Seat corporate identity. In bright white with light colours and featuring the diagonal line as a dynamic design theme, it conveys the youth and emotional character of the brand – like the entire Seat presence at Wörthersee.

Subaru XV Reviews 2012 | oto-beat

Subaru XV Reviews 2012 | oto-beat - We thought we’d seen a number of Subaru’s stylish new XV compact SUVs on the road and we were right. A check of the stats showed the Subaru XV commanded more than 20 per cent of the compact SUV segment in February with first month sales of 1005. 

Compact SUVs are red-hot sellers and Australians have voted with their wallets, recognizing the Subaru XV for its good looks, handy pricing and of course Subaru’s acknowledged quality. 

We’d driven the Subaru XV at the national media launch in Tasmania and Subaru quickly followed-up with an entry-level Si manual for us to put through the usual Car Showroom week-long test regime here in Melbourne.

 

Subaru XV Overview

Subaru XV joins the respected Forester (segment’s top-seller) and Outback models to provide a formidable three-vehicle lineup in the compact SUV segment. Closely related to the new Subaru Impreza, the XV provides Subaru with a sportier/hatchback alternative to its two wagon stablemates.

And, like all Subaru vehicles these days, a real strength of the XV is its value-for-money. Our Si model test car was stickered at $28,490 – unquestionably impressive in this league.

 

Subaru XV Engine

The qualities of Subaru’s boxer engines are well-known – small package size, low centre of gravity, high output for their size etc. But this is 2012 and for some time Subaru’s engine development team has been focused on reduced fuel consumption and cleaner emissions. 

So this time around the FB20 2.0-litre powerplant is Euro 5 compliant for exhaust gas and combined cycle fuel consumption for the six-speed manual model we tested is as low as 7.3l/100kms (aided by Subaru’s excellent auto start/stop system which re-starts in just 0.35 seconds). 

And Subaru’s latest runs on 90RON unleaded. 

Maximum power is 110kW at 6200rpm and peak torque of 196Nm is available from 4200rpm.

Detail internal changes are numerous and include longer stroke, roller rockers and lighter pistons and conrods. 

On the road that translates into stronger torque at low to id-range engine speeds.

 

Subaru XV The Interior

We’ve long had a high regard for Subaru’s interior stylists and the XV continues the trend. Modern looks, nice style, practicality and quality materials get the job done. 

And – once again – Subaru XV shows good design can deliver a top-shelf driving position even in a car under $30K. The rake/reach adjustable steering wheel (not leather-wrapped in our 2.0i model) works with the seat adjustment and pedals to tick all the boxes for us (although we’d like more side support in the seats). 

To the left is Subaru’s latest Multi-Function display. The 2.0i model tested misses satellite navigation but the six-speaker audio comes with iPod, Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

Rear seat passengers enjoy legroom similar to rival models and the large glasshouse affords good visibility. 

Luggage space of 310-litres isn’t the largest in the segment.

 

Seven airbags (including a drivers knee bag) and a standard reversing camera are just part of the usual comprehensive Subaru safety inclusions.

 

Subaru XV Exterior & Styling

Suddenly compact SUVs have gone all cool and hip. The Subaru XV joins the Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5 and Ford Kuga in showing modern SUV practicality isn’t restricted to straight lines and boxes.

Adding to that, Subaru has found some standout new paint colours – we love the orange which contrasts superbly with the black 17-inch alloy wheels. 

In a nutshell, the Subaru XV is a ‘six-window’ hatchback obviously from the same family as the Impreza WRX. But different. 

The front-end gets the off-road treatment with a raised grille and meaty ‘hawk-eye’ headlights. Ditto for the side view with plastic wheel arch stone protectors. 

And we sure like the rear end with its stylish lights, smart hatchback design and integrated roof spoiler (some rival designers whose cars look like the rear is an afterthought might slip down to their local Subaru dealer and check-out the XV in the metal). 

All those curves also have a purpose – drag CD just 0.329 for enhanced fuel consumption.

 

Subaru XV On The Road

The excellent chassis dynamics we detected when driving the Subaru XV at the media launch in Tasmania were no fluke. This thing (like the Impreza) is a very impressive piece of kit when pressing on hard in the twisty stuff.

And that’s the point Subaru was striving for in developing the XV – a low centre of gravity to keep things nailed on the road combined with a decent amount of ground clearance for some off-road agility. Subaru XV might struggle to conquer outback sand dunes but we reckon it would be a perfect combo for working week commutes and weekend hobbies: cue the snowboarders and mountain bikers. 

Those high marks for driving dynamics are no real surprise to anyone who has driven modern Subarus. The symmetrical all-wheel-drive system (normally 60:40 torque split) is clearly one of the world’s best and in the case of the XV it combines with a complex independent front/double wishbone rear suspension set-up

A rebound spring in the front struts helps keep inside wheels loaded during cornering, the front anti-roll bar is 22mm thick, a rear anti-roll bar has been added and the rear struts have been stiffened. 

In fact, we reckon the Subaru XV dynamics are so good it could do with Subaru’s 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated WRX engine (and maybe even the STi turbo!). 

In the city our 2.0i Subaru XV was generally handy – although we did find the six-speed manual transmission notchy at times. The excellent 10.6-metre turning circle easily conquered our tight CBD car park and the good all-round visibility made for easy maneuvering.

 

Subaru XV Challenges

Same as when we drove the Subaru XV at launch, we reckon the front seats could do with a bit more lateral support. And for that Subaru can thank the excellent XV chassis which has very high limits.

A week in the Subaru XV also had us wishing for more luggage space for baby strollers and golfing paraphernalia.

 

Subaru XV Verdict

As an all-round package, the Subaru XV delivers. Sure there are similar compact SUVs with larger cargo space and some with more power – but the XV stands tall with its total combination. 

That means Subaru quality, the hallmark all-wheel-drive chassis, nice styling inside and out and slick on-road dynamics.

And where Subaru has really delivered is value-for-money. Check the specifications of the Subaru XV against similar rivals and the conclusion is this newcomer stacks-up well against all-comers, including its Forester and Outback stablemates…and they’ve certainly sold in large numbers for a long time.

 

Subaru XV The Competition

Variety is the middle name of the compact SUV segment – in reality the Subaru XV doesn’t compete with heavy duty big-sellers like Toyota RAV4 and Suzuki Grand Vitara. However there is a ‘Who’s Who’ of similar rival ‘Crossovers’. 

Newest arrival is Mazda’s outstanding all-new CX-5 which is very sharply priced from $27,800 (Maxx grade 2.0-litre petrol, six-speed manual). The petrol CX-5 marginally out-muscles the Subaru XV with 114kW/200Nm 2.0-litre petrol engine and does provide more interior space and luggage capacity.

The freshly upgraded Renault Koleos brings French design flair and a stylish interior. Entry grade Renault Koleos Expression I is front-wheel-drive, priced identical to the Subaru XV2.0i at $28,490 and delivers a bit more urge thanks to its 126kW/226Nm 2.5-litre petrol engine. 

Nissan’s X-TRAIL is a massive seller in this segment as families appreciate its wagon-like cargo space. Entry-level Nissan X-TRAIL ST also snags the $28,490 sticker but is only front-wheel-drive and the 2.0-litre petrol engine is good for 102kW/198Nm. 

Kia Sportage is a beauty but the entry-level Si ($26,220) is a front-driver. Kia’s 122kW/197Nm 2.0-litre petrol engine packs more punch than the Subaru XV and it affords a tad more cargo space but you’ll need $32,220 for the cheapest all-wheel-drive Sportage (SLi grade).

Similar story for Hyundai’s ix35 ($26,990 for the entry-level Active 2WD and $31,990 for the Elite AWD). 

And of course there are huge wraps on Volkswagen’s Tiguan with the entry-level 2WD 118TSI hitting the $28,490 mark ($33,490 kicks-off Tiguan’s all-wheel-drive models).

The Peugeot 208

The Peugeot 208 is a replacement for the dated 207, and a car that's been designed to take on and beat the best superminis.

It has plenty of showroom appeal, thanks to the 208's stylish looks and classy cabin. What's more, buyers can choose from a wide range of fuel-efficient engines.

The petrols are expected to be most popular, and include a range of choices from a 67bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder to a 154bhp 1.6-litre four-cylinder. Meanwhile, the diesel options are a 67bhp 1.4 and 91bhp and 110bhp 1.6s.

What's the 2012 Peugeot 208 like to drive?
The steering is light and easy around town and sharp at higher speeds. However, while the 208's front wheels are quick to turn in, the rest of the car isn't so keen to tag along. Sloppy body control means the front-end flops over on the way into corners, then the rear follows suit.

This might be forgivable if the 208 was blessed with a limo-like ride, but it's actually quite uncomfortable. The suspension struggles to cope with patchy road surfaces, and the rear of the car can become bouncy in corners.

We tested the 81bhp 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, and this is a fairly flexible performer that is capable of pulling its higher gears from low revs without labouring. It's only when you ask for a strong burst of acceleration that it feels short of puff.

The engine is quite smooth on the motorway, too, but it thrums noisily when you put your foot down hard. It's a pity, because little wind- or road noise enters the cabin.

What's the 2012 Peugeot 208 like inside?
A comfortable driving position is essential in any car, but the Peugeot 208's won't suit everyone. Peugeot has fitted an unusually small steering wheel that you look over (instead of through) to see the instruments. However, if you're less than six feet tall, you might find the top of the wheel blocks your view of the speedo.

The touch-screen infotainment system that's standard in mid-spec 'Active' cars and above, also disappoints. There are no shortcut buttons to take you straight to individual menus, and you drag your finger across the screen to perform certain tasks – something that's hard to do safely or with any accuracy when you're on the move.

If there's an area where the 208 really moves the game on, it's perceived quality. Peugeot has used materials that are easy on both the eye and the fingertips throughout the cabin. What's more, the touch-screen features sophisticated graphics, and the chrome-ringed instruments wouldn't look out of place in an Audi.

Space in the front is pretty good, too, but rear headroom is tight, and while the boot is a good size and shape, you have to buy the mid-spec car before Peugeot throws in a 60/40 split rear seat.

Should I buy one?
With its catwalk looks and classy cabin, the 208 is hugely desirable, which is why it's such a shame it falls down in other key areas.

The cabin is let down by basic ergonomic issues that really should have been addressed during its development, while the ride comfort and handling fall well short of the class leaders.

Yes, the Ford Fiesta and VW Polo have set a sky-high benchmark, but that's what other manufacturers need to aspire to if they are to challenge for class honours. Peugeot hasn't really got close with the 208.
