Tuners at Je Design have directed their skills towards the Seat Exeo ST in order to turn an estate into a sports car, without sacrificing interior comfort.
The exterior has received a series a aerodynamic components which also add individuality to the Je Design Seat Exeo ST, and these include a redesigned front bumper, side skirts, a carbon look diffuser, and a rear roof spoiler.
A set of 19 inch multispoke design black alloys wrapped in high-performance tires have also been fitted, plus the Je Design Seat Exeo ST is now positioned with 35 mm closer to the asphalt due to a lowered suspension (an optional KW coilover suspension also available).
In terms of performance the tuner has addresses the two top motorisations, boosting output on the 2.0-litre TDI which now develops 205 HP (151 kW) and 385 Nm of torque instead of 170 HP (125 kW) and 250 Nm, and the strongest TFSI petrol engine which now packs 270 HP (199 kW) and 390 Nm of torque instead of 211 HP (155 kW) and 320 Nm.
The power gain registered by the Je Design Seat Exeo ST results from the new exhaust system with two rear silencers and double stainless steel pipes measuring 80 mm in diameter.
Interior upgrades are also available, and for specific pricing details regarding each modification, follow the jump for the official press release.

JE DESIGN follows right two strategies with the Seat Exeo ST. Outside the engineers turn the estate car into a sports car while the interior is designed in extraordinary luxury.
The sporty metamorphosis of the Exeo ST immediately shows with the entire aerodynamics kit by JE DESIGN. The Seat specialist, located in Leingarten in Baden-Württemberg, leaves an agile mark at the vehicle front with a front spoiler (379 Euro including VAT) and a sport radiator grill which comes without the manufacturer’s logo (199 Euro). The side skirts (two-part set for 399 Euro) render a dynamic appearance alongside the car. At the rear, the diffuser blind in carbon look (299 Euro) and the rear top spoiler (199 Euro) perfect the transformation.
Under the new body shell of the Seat Exeo ST, JE DESIGN works on the two top motorisations. With an optimised engine management (1179 Euro), the 2-litre TDI now renders 205 hp (151 kW) instead of the serial 170 hp (125 kW). This is an increase of more than 20 percent. Therefore, also the maximum torque of the Diesel engine rises from 350 to 385 Newton metres. The strongest petrol engine reaches 211 hp (155 kW) with Seat. JE DESIGN even brings the TSFI-engine (1379 Euro) to 270 hp (199 kW) and lifts the maximum torque from 320 to 390 Newton metres.
The JE DESIGN Exeo presents its gained power at the rear. With two sport rear silencers with two double stainless steel pipes, each measuring 80 millimetres in diameter, provide a roaring sound and confirm the increased potential of the estate car (899 Euro).
Matching the new sport look, the refiner lowers the Exeo 35 millimetres closer to the tarmac by applying shortened suspension springs (169 Euro). Alternatively there is a KW coilover suspension (starting at 929 Euro). Comfort and road safety were the main development objectives apart from the individual lowering (20 to 55 millimetres).
This way, the wheels in the design Multispoke with a graphite matt surface and matt silver edges look especially noble. The rims in 19 inches are made for high-performance tyres measuring 235/35 R 19 (entire wheel set for 2,930 Euro).
In contrast to the very sporty outside look of the car, the interior is designed in extraordinary luxury. The leather equipment Elegance (1599 Euro) turns the cock-pit into a noble travel centre. Also the gear shift skirt and the hand brake cuff (together for 179 Euro) are covered with the finest leather. The freely selectable combination of leather- and seam colour allow an absolute individualisation – and even without any surcharge. For even more originality, JE DESIGN embroiders a logo into the back rests of the front seats according to customer preference (79 Euro).
Customers who seek even more comfort can opt for a two-level seat heating (379 Euro), an electrically adjustable lordosis-rest for back-protection while travelling (319 Euro) or the massage system which is integrated in the seats (429 Euro) and treats the driver with twelve programmes at six massage points in a very silent way.
With the extensive amendments at the new Seat Exeo ST, JE DESIGN provides the perfect combination of sporty appearance and comfortable journeys.
