SEAT presents the Leon Prototype Ecomotive, a car said to be able to complete a travel 10,000 miles (16,093 kilometers) without refueling. Making this feat is possible, a 545-liters (120 gallons UK / 144 U.S. gallons) fuel tank located in the vehicle.
Gone are the rear seats, and instead of this massive liquid holder was securely fitted into this space, while space has been designed to sit on it. The engine is a 1.6-liter TDI common-rail engine with start-stop technology.
Because the car comes with a 12-month/10 ,000-miles service interval would not fill up buyers, they are. In any case, it can not be filled at the nearest gas station, thanks to a special nozzle into the trunk. Therefore, only the dealer can put diesel engines in service on the day. Drivers with higher mileage would need just take it in as soon as it hits 10,000 miles.
"Sure, you'd be a fool not to take advantage of this new Leon Ecomotive be seen," said Head of Press & PR SEAT Germany, Mike Orford. "Travelling 10,000 miles between fill-ups takes a significant part of the forecourt queues and waiting times for Leon driver, which means they are spending more time and have their car. We expect the first driver to be Tickled Pink, if the car on sale going to be here. "via
