In 1966, Jimi Hendrix made ends meet by trying to play the rhythm & blues circuit as a backing guitarist. By mid-October, Jimi was in the UK to record the Are You Experienced debut album.
Jimi back then and SEAT at the present moment are very alike. While Jimi tried to morph from a simple backing guitarist to a full-fledged psychedelic rock star, the SEAT marque attempted to enhance the Leon to see how its customer pool will react to this model.
With the X-Perience, the Spanish division of the Volkswagen Group only offered a glimpse of the upcoming SEAT SUV’s traits... and a better value alternative to the Volkswagen Golf Variant Alltrack.
Planned to hit European dealerships sometime next year, the C-segment crossover SUV will borrow the styling cues of the 20V20 Concept. To boot, it will utilize much of the same underpinnings as the X-Perience we’ve tested. That includes the Haldex coupling AWD system and the MQB platform too.
In a nutshell, the 2015 SEAT Leon X-Perience is a turning point for the Spanish automaker. The peeps from SEAT declared that the near future will be full of all-new models, but the turning point towards a better SEAT brand is this Leon X-Perience.
We liked the X a lot, albeit there were some niggles with it. You can find more on that in our review of the 184 HP family-oriented wagon. On an ending note, if SEAT improves on its newfound car-making principles, the future looks bright for the Latin-blooded automaker.
