2012 SEAT Exeo Glides Into Showrooms

MILTON KEYNES, England, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

The executive class 2012 SEAT Exeo is now available in the Spanish brand's UK showrooms nationwide with even more style, economy and refinement available to savvy saloon and estate buyers.

SEAT's much-admired Exeo saloon and Exeo ST Estate range boasts a new look and some important engineering upgrades.

The 2012 cars' revised 'face' - with new bi-xenon headlights and stunning LED daytime running lights (standard on Sport models and optional on SE spec cars) - ensures it once again cuts a real dash in the executive car park.

The styling enhancements, boosted by smart new alloy wheel designs, further underline the high value SEAT Exeo Estate range's premium look while upgrades to interior materials - including improved leather on the steering wheel and revised upholstery - create a matching premium feel.

Meanwhile, improvements to the high quality SEAT saloon and estate's 2.0 TDI common rail power plant see emissions cut to as little as 129 g/km. Economy is similarly improved, too, with the Exeo saloon now being capable of as much as 58.9 mpg on the EU's combined cycle.

The Exeo's elegant styling upgrades, allied to SEAT's on-going commitment to improving quality and fuel economy, as well as reducing emissions, are already generating even more interest in the range. The luxurious saloon and estate car line-up is the Spanish brand's third best-seller in the UK behind the perennially popular Ibiza super-mini and Leon five-door family hatch.

As 2012 unfolds the Exeo family is set for even more upgrades, too, with the likely arrival of an Ecomotive version. SEAT's cleanest, greenest and most fuel efficient cars all bear the Ecomotive moniker and are synonymous with environmental efficiency. The Ibiza Ecomotive, for instance, emits just 92 g/km of CO2 while the Leon Ecomotive is hot on its heels with a road tax and London congestion charge-busting CO2 figure of just 99 g/km.

The forthcoming Exeo Ecomotive will boast many of the same technologies that make its Ecomotive siblings such frugal propositions. SEAT's effortless Start/Stop technology, for instance, will help deliver even more fuel efficiency.

SEAT is targeting an ambitious CO2 figure of less than 120 g/km for the Start/Stop-equipped Exeo which will, of course, enhance its appeal to both environmentally-conscious private buyers and UK fleet managers who demand such low car emissions levels from even their executive models.

Ryanair blames BAA as they axe routes from Edinburgh Airport putting 300 jobs in danger

BUDGET airline Ryanair have announced they are axing routes from Scotland's busiest airport in a dispute over costs with operator BAA.

The airline claimed the cuts at Edinburgh Airport could lead to 300 job losses and passenger traffic dropping by 15 per cent, from 1.8 million to 1.5 million.

But BAA said they were not expecting any job losses and "did not understand" where Ryanair got that figure from.

Ryanair announced it would reduce its operating aircraft at the hub from seven to six. It means the end of flights to and from Berlin in Germany. Other flights expected to begin later this year to Malmo in Sweden, Murcia and Ibiza in Spain and Estonia have been cancelled.

The airline said the number of flights Ryanair operates from the airport each week will drop by a fifth (21 per cent), from 140 to 110.

The company blamed a "breakdown of negotiations" about costs with BAA.

Ryanair warned that further cuts could be on the horizon if BAA Edinburgh do not extend their five-year competitive cost agreement, due to expire in October.

Michael O'Leary, Ryanair chief executive, said: "Ryanair regrets BAA Edinburgh Airport's rejection of our proposals for a competitive cost base which would allow Ryanair to further grow our traffic and routes for summer 2012.

"Sadly, BAA Edinburgh seems to prefer higher costs, even if it means fewer passengers and jobs at Edinburgh.

"While Ryanair remains committed to Edinburgh Airport, and with 1.5 million passengers and 35 routes, we continue to be one of the largest airlines operating to-from Edinburgh, BAA Edinburgh cannot continue to ignore the competitive marketplace where airports all over the UK and Europe have been reducing costs and lowering charges in return for traffic growth.

"We hope even at this late stage that BAA Edinburgh will realise that the way to grow traffic and jobs is by working with Ryanair to lower passengers fares, not raise them."

However, Jim O'Sullivan, managing director of Edinburgh Airport, said: "Of course we are disappointed that Ryanair has reduced its services from Edinburgh.

"We have tried extremely hard to negotiate with Ryanair but sadly on many issues have not been able to find common ground. For example, we cannot accept their wish to not pay the agreed air traffic control costs that all other airlines pay.

"As ever, our focus remains on providing managed, sustained and high-value growth, matching the aspirations of our city."

Edinburgh Airport is being sold by Spanish-owned BAA because competition regulators told it to sell off one of its Scottish hubs. The operator said in October last year that it hopes to have sold the airport by this summer.
