JE Design Seat Toledo Review

April 2005
Filed under: JEDESIGN Car News | JEDESIGN Headlines
The well-known Seat tuning specialist JE DESIGN is enhancing the new Seat Toledo with a particularly stylish package of body styling elements, suspension components, wheel rims and light alloy wheels. What is more, the specialist from Leingarten is offering electronic power boosting options for the diesel versions.
As a basic diesel, Seat builds the well-known 1.9 litre TDI with 77 kW/105 bhp and 250 Nm torque. JE DESIGN boosts these values to 103 kW/140 bhp and 320 Nm. Even more impressive are the performance ratings which the tuning specialist breathes into the second engine version of the Toledo. With 130 kW/176 bhp and a strapping 405 Nm torque, the 2.0 litre TDI from Seat serves up an additional 36 bhp (= 27 kW) and an extra 85 Nm in torque. JE DESIGN offers an EU-wide 2-year guarantee on the power boost plus a 1-year guarantee on the engine, drive and transmission.

This kind of power naturally deserves a look to match. Accordingly, JE DESIGN has adorned the front end of the Toledo with headlight screens, which, needless to say, come with a type approval certificate, plus a sporty front spoiler. The side view is enhanced with a set of side sills. Thanks to its panoramic rear window, the standard Toledo is already a real eye-catcher. JE DESIGN has succeeded in making the rear view more attractive by fitting two rear spoilers (one on the top, one on the bottom) and a new rear apron attachment. Harmoniously integrated chrome-plated twin tailpipes (90 mm diameter) protrude on the left and right, which are attached to a stainless steel rear silencer system.

JE DESIGN succeeds in lowering the Toledo by approx. 35 mm by fitting a suspension lowering kit. To match the sporty appearance of this Spaniard, the tuning specialist is also offering its complete “Multispoke” set of wheels, consisting of size 7.0 x 17 ET 45 wheel rims and size 225/45 R 17 tyres. It is also possible to equip the Toledo with 18 and 19 inch wheels. The comprehensive JE DESIGN Styling suite greatly enhances the vehicle, making the Toledo in the showroom a touch more attractive.
