What is interesting is Seat Leon will have a 1.5L 150bhp engine. Wow!  Scala will need the same engine to compete.

No need compete lah. Not many will look at Seat.

Not sure is it just me, when I sit in a showroom Seat model. Felt that the interior material look a grade lower than Skoda.

Hi guys, from 19 rims to 18 rims for rs245 does it make any differences in the FC?

Dsg I suppose. If you look at all the other Skoda vehicles on that site they're all listed as SMT too

[Shouyi]

SMT means DSG gearbox.

Your observation is correct. Have two frens driving Seat, one switched from VW n the other from Skoda. Attracted by the same drive at lower price and din mind the lower grade. Both continued to buy 7dry...

Hi, depends on your new rims weight, what type of tyres and pressure. Usually my guess is, it’s negligible. Maybe 1km/l +/- or so.

VW group is repositioning seat and skoda to fight against hyundai and mazda seperately. Based on these news article, they are trying to make seat more premium than skoda. Not sure how this translate to the local ADs.

Yes it is, no virtual cockpit and without panoramic sunroof. 
Comes with adaptive cruise control, wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless charging.

Meter still not LCD..

[Hamburger]

 they should just ditch the bulky gear selector. 

[Shouyi]

I thought the kodiaq catalogue indicates that the 1.4AP comes with paranomic sunroof?
