The lack of satnav and other fleet-friendly additions to the Exeo ST have been mentioned in past reviews, but now Seat has come up with a perfect solution – the Exeo Tech.

It hikes up the price by £875 to £22,290, but that buys an extra £3270-worth of kit, including full DVD-based satnav, Bose audio upgrade, leather seats and an iPod connection rather than the standard USB port. Seat says the Tech pack includes the most popular options business drivers want when buying an Exeo, as fleet drivers “make up the lion’s share” of the car’s buyers.
