Seat Mii

Mii customisation introduced with stunning Vibora Negra edition
Available now from all UK SEAT dealerships
Inspired by the Ibiza Bocanegra and the Mii FR concept

Within just one month of putting the Mii city car on sale in the UK, SEAT introduces the sensational Vibora Negra edition.

Available now, the Vibora Negra – which means black viper in Spanish – is the ultimate iteration of Mii. It showcases a complete range of personalisation accessories available for the car, and marks the beginning of a host of planned customisation packs.
The Mii packs plenty of visual punch as it is, but this new range of visual accessories takes it to a new level; the Vibora Negra pack transforms the Mii into one of the most striking, visually aggressive and sportiest city cars currently on sale, endowing it with the spirit of SEAT’s most powerful FR and Cupra models.
The complete Vibora Negra pack is compatible with any Mii, from entry level S to range-topping Sport, and comprises:
Black Vibora Negra twin stripes (bonnet, roof and tailgate)
Black Vibora Negra side stripes
Black 14- or 15-inch alloy wheels
Black tailgate spoiler
Black side skirts
Black mirror caps
Black gloss gear knob
Black chequered dashboard decal

Each of the above items can be ordered individually*, although a 10% discount applies when the pack is ordered complete, saving around £160.

The total cost of the Vibora Negra pack, including VAT and fitting, is £1,628 with 14-inch wheels equipped, or £1,740 with 15-inch wheels. It can only be bought from franchised SEAT dealerships.

Malcolm Allison, Aftersales Product Manager for SEAT UK, said: “The Vibora Negra pack brings out all the sporty characteristics of the Mii, and showcases the exciting customisation possibilities for the car in future.

“We created it to give buyers in the UK a break from the norm, and the chance to give their Mii a personal touch; the great thing about the Vibora Negra range is that each of the parts can be bought separately, so there’s something for every budget.

“We started with the viper stripes because they’re such a classic way to personalise a car, and we stuck with a black theme to evoke the stunning Ibiza Bocanegra.

“We’ve aimed the pack at younger buyers looking for ways to make their Mii more striking without breaking the bank. This is just the beginning, though – there are plenty more Mii personalisation packages in the pipeline, so there’ll be huge scope for individualism, and something to suit everyone.”

With the Mii having just gone on sale in the UK (18th June 2012), the quick availability of the Vibora Negra pack is a clear indication of SEAT’s desire to make it the most desirable and distinctly sporty city car on the market.

The Vibora Negra pack, which is only available to UK buyers, comes hot on the heels of the dramatic Mii FR concept, shown at the 2012 Worthersee festival in Austria; the upgrades give buyers the tantalising opportunity to own a car with a marked visual similarity to that concept.

The SEAT Mii range begins at £7,845 RRP OTR for an entry-level S model, meaning a Vibora Negra can be bought for under £9,500.

Seat Ibiza

Suitable for all 2012 Seat Ibiza 3- and 5-door models
Successfully passed all crash tests (all parts with TÜV and CH certification in accordance with ASA Guidelines)
Innovative 18-inch Scorpio wheel, option of 17 or 18-inch Multispoke versions

JE DESIGN is breathing even more life into the little Spaniard with its new body kit. This is set to make the Seat Ibiza (6 J model) even sportier and the tuners from Leingarten in Baden-Württemberg will emphasize the vehicle’s Spanish genes with a wide range of accessories.

The aerokit stands out not only with its attractive design but also with the usual high quality. The components provided have been manufactured to perfection and are attached to original fixing points. Made from high-quality ABS, all statutory requirements have been satisfied and more, with the aerodynamic parts and all accessories from JE DESIGN gaining TÜV and Swiss certification. The aerokit consists of a front spoiler, headlamp covers, side skirts, a carbon-effect rear apron attachment and roof edge spoiler at a total price of 1,238 euros, while the kit for the Seat Ibiza ST station wagon (without the roof edge spoiler) is available at 1,099 euros. Available as an optional extra is a centrally placed trapezoid tailpipe priced at 399 euros.

In keeping with its sporty appearance, suspension-lowering springs developed especially for the Seat Ibiza by JE DESIGN lower this ‘hot Spaniard’ by 35 mm (149 euros). Another optional extra is a coil-over suspension lowered by 50-60 millimeters. This gives the Multispoke alloy wheels an even sportier appearance, and the complete wheel set is available in 7×17 inches in shadow silver or matt black with a polished lip for 1,809 euros and 1,920 euros, respectively. Alternatively, JE DESIGN’s range also includes a 7.5×18-inch wheel set with 215/35 R 18 tires, also in the Multispoke design, in shadow silver (2,380 euros) and in matt black with a polished lip (2,460 euros). A completely new addition to the range is the Scorpio wheel with 5 double spokes, also available in matt black with a silver polished lip. The price for the complete wheel set is 2,380 euros.

The performance kit from JE Design provides more power under the bonnet with performance increased from 77 kW to 103 kW for the 1.2 liter TSI, meaning acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour is optimized by 0.7 seconds. The torque has been improved from 175 newton meters to 230 newton meters. For the 1.6 liter TDI, performance is increased from 105 bhp to 125 bhp and the torque has been improved from 250 newton meters to 295 newton meters. Improved performance for the 143 bhp TDI and the 150 bhp TSI is currently in development. The performance kit, including fitting and all necessary certificates costs 1,399 euros for the TSI and 1,099 euros for the TDI. All prices include value added tax at 19 percent. The sports accessories for the new Seat Ibiza are available now from JE DESIGN or any Seat partner.

2013 Seat Toledo breaks cover

Seat Toledo

TOLEDO – A GREAT CAR AT A GREAT PRICE

The new Toledo is coming. Dynamic and elegantly dressed in SEAT’s modern design, driven by highly efficient TSI and TDI engines, with outstanding practicality and excellent workmanship, the saloon is sticking to the recipe for success that proved so popular for its predecessors. SEAT produced more than 860,000 units of the first two Toledo ranges alone – success based on the combination of attractive design and practical characteristics. The new generation continues this formula: with generous space, a high degree of flexibility, outstanding efficiency and excellent value-for-money, the new Toledo appeals to customers seeking a practical, top-quality and affordable saloon car for the whole family – without missing out on elegant design and dynamic driving fun.

“The new Toledo will write a whole new success story with its clear SEAT identity, its high quality standard and its extraordinary value-for-money,” says James Muir, President of SEAT, S.A. “The Toledo combines great design with amazing practicality, dynamic driving fun with excellent efficiency. This is how we envisage the perfect saloon. Our customers will say: ‘That is a great car at a great price!’”

The all-new Toledo will be launched initially in Spain and Portugal in mid-November and then in the rest of Europe during 2013. Next to Spain, other key markets for Toledo are Germany, Mexico and Turkey.

ATTRACTIVE LOOK WITH AMAZING PRACTICALITY

With a length of 4.48 metres, the new Toledo is four centimetres longer than its predecessor from 2004. In contrast to the Toledo II, which was equipped with a conventional boot lid, the latest version of the model line comes with a large, wide-opening rear hatch. The comparatively long wheelbase of 2,602 millimetres (80 millimetres longer than the Toledo II) delivers a generous feeling of space and plenty of legroom for all passengers.

“The new Toledo is a true SEAT – perfect for the demands of everyday life, with the highest quality and reliability,” says Dr. Matthias Rabe, Vice President of Research and Development for SEAT S.A. “The latest drive and chassis technologies of Volkswagen Group deliver excellent driving fun, as well as outstanding efficiency and safety. And when it comes to consumption and emissions figures in particular, the Toledo is among the best-in-class.”

CLEAR DESIGN WITH EXTRA REFINEMENT

The design of the new Toledo is a consistent development of the new SEAT brand design presented in the IBE, IBX and IBL studies. And it proves that a five-door, compact, notchback saloon can be exceptionally emotional, sporty and elegant.

The new SEAT Toledo has a powerful and solid stance, with clear and precisely defined surfaces, lines and edges. The broad, angular headlamps are a feature of the brand’s current design DNA. Together with the trapezoidal, extremely slender grille, the lower air intake and the horizontal rear light clusters, they bring added visual breadth to the car.

The designers injected an extra portion of refinement into the roofline; it runs in an elegant arc to the broad C-pillar, which rises smoothly from the rear side portion. The low lying rear windscreen gives the new SEAT a certain coupé look, without impacting in any way its versatility and functionality.

“The new Toledo is a timeless personality. It combines classically modern lines with understated sporting character and a high level of everyday practicality. It is the SEAT among saloon cars, with excellent design quality in every detail,” says Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos, Head of SEAT Design.

THE LATEST ENGINES, OUTSTANDING EFFICIENCY

As a completely new model, the Toledo makes use of the very latest Volkswagen Group engines. At the pinnacle are highly efficient TSI spark-ignition engines in 1.2 and 1.4 displacements, and a 1.6 common-rail TDI unit. A 7-speed dual-shift gearbox DSG is offered in combination with the most powerful petrol variants. The petrol engines generate between 55 kW (75 hp) and 90 kW (122 hp); the Ecomotive version boasts CO2 emissions of just 116 g/km. The Ecomotive version of the TDI diesel engine – which produces 77 kW (105 hp) from a displacement of 1.6 litres – also offers a best-in-class figure of 104 g/km. During 2013, SEAT will expand the Toledo diesel line-up with a 66 kW (90 hp) TDI variant.

GREAT EQUIPMENT AS STANDARD

The standard safety package for all SEAT Toledos includes driver and passenger airbags, front side airbags and head/thorax airbags. The base model also comes with central locking, a two piece folding rear backrest and power windows in the front. The more extensively equipped Reference and Style versions offer additional extras in comfort and design.
