2.0 TDI – Automobiles Review

2013 Seat Leon FR 2.0 TDI – UK Price £22,075

2013 Seat Leon FR 2.0 TDI - Front

Seat UK has announced the pricing of the powerful and economical 2013 Leon FR 2.0 TDI 184HP. The hot hatchback is now available to order from just £22,075, making it a true performance bargain – especially considering the standard equipment included with the FR specification level.

2013 Seat Leon FR 2.0 TDI has a four-cylinder turbodiesel with 184HP (135 kW) and 380Nm (281 lb-ft) of torque. The fuel consumption is great – 67.3 mpg UK – 4.2 litres / 100 km with CO₂ emissions of 109 g/km.

The 184 PS engine comes with Ecomotive Technology as standard, which means it has Start/Stop engine shut-off to preserve fuel when the car is at a standstill and in neutral.

The standard equipment includes LED tail lights, 17” alloy wheels, FR-specific front- and rear bumpers, dark tinted windows, twin chrome exhaust pipes, sports suspension (lowered by 15 mm from standard), dual-zone climate control, front sports seats, SEAT Easy Connect media system including full colour touch screen interface, Bluetooth audio streaming and eight speakers, and SEAT Drive Profile. By altering the throttle management, steering feel and gearbox settings (in DSG-equipped cars) between three modes, SEAT Drive Profile allows significant alteration of the feel of the driving experience.

ABT 2012 Audi AS3

Abt Sportsline has announced their tuning program of the new 2012 Audi A3. The name of the project is ABT AS3, which stands for “happiness in driving, always and everywhere” as Mr. Hans-Jürgen Abt stated.

The engine range includes two powerful power units – a 2.0 liter TFSI and a 2.0 liter TDI engine. The petrol will deliver 250PS (184 kW), instead of factory’s 200PS (147 kW) and the diesel will produce around 200PS (147 kW), instead of 170PS (125 kW). These results will be achieved thanks to ECU re-maps. The additional power will make the car faster and better to drive, because of the additional torque at the low revs.

Besides the performance packages, ABT Sportsline also offers a coil-over adjustable suspension and high-performance brake system with 345 mm discs.

The exterior package includes a new front spoiler, front grille and side skirts. There are also a new rear spoiler, the rear skirt insert and the two double rear mufflers.

The tough vision is completed by a set of DR light alloy wheels , which are available in 18 and 19 inches.

Nothing is mention about the prices though.
