Robustness of an Audi for Seat money; strong diesel engines; smooth ride.
Offers nothing new; looks bland; competent but uninspiring drive.
If you can look beyond the Seat badge, the Exeo ST drives like a premium estate.
Seat performs well in the second-hand market, although the Exeo's residuals are unlikely to be as strong as the Audi A4's.
The 140bhp 2.0-litre diesel, expected to be the biggest seller, should retain 40% of its original value after three years/36,000 miles. That's a marked improvement over more common cars such as the Ford Mondeo.
