The Seat, which was conceived as a sports unit of the VW Group, there is a hole in the lineup. A hole the size of a trendy urban SUV. And in the next five years it will be firmly closed, because we expect-as a competitor to the Nissan Juke, and larger-sized Qashqai car, and apparently to 2020-MO is really a full-size SUV that will compete with the X-Trail.
The highlight of the program Seat at the Geneva Motor Show has become a fantastic 20V20 kocept. It shows the stylistic and interior solutions, which will be used in the serial Seat SUV. We met with the company's Chief Designer Alejandro White-Romanosom, to ask why, with such strong competition that people should buy crossover firm Seat, not Nissan, Skoda or even Audi. "I hope you buy it at the behest of the heart. Because you like ",-is in Romanos. In this incarnation, the metal-covered cut triangular elements 20V20 is beautiful, but not overloaded with details. Those who compare it with the Evoque, can be met. And yet it is more korenast than the ubiquitous Qashqai and Yeti-but with a decent Salon inside. "The cars that we will build will be the same silhouette. Above it won't, we want it to be low and dynamic ".
But the fun begins inside. The concept seats four and a huge 20V20 trunk. The main instruments are collected on one big screen (much in the vein of Audi), and duplicated at another huge touch screen on the dashboard. But there is another way to control-and Seat believes that the industry has never seen. Romanos takes out from his jacket pocket a silver disk about the size of a hockey puck with the small screen. It is called a "personal device driver's Seat (the Seat PersonalDriver Device-SPDD). "He can work the key from machine, but its main purpose is the interaction. With his help I can specify the route to navigate, change the temperature and even find the car in the parking lot. I was watching "iron man" and this movie inspired me to create a similar device, "said Romanos, putting a disk in your chest as the reactor is Tony Stark.
He applies SPDD to central tunnel, where the primagničivaetsâ for the special area in front of the armrest. Then Alejandro turns it on and clicks on the Center device instantly becomes information and entertaining Navigator directly as iDrive BMW. Very elegantly.
Will I be able to wear it on your hand how smart watches? "Certainly, Romanos-nods is the next step. Or we can integrate it with your phone is obviously the form will change, but we believe that in the future the keys to the car, phone and something similar may be combined in one device. This is reasonable. "
However, we have heard such idealistic ruminations before. Can the Seat push the product instead of all the Junk? "Yes, we could have done to 2020 year SPDD, Romanos said," the only thing we have to change for this cars make air ducts for more and 5 seats. And we need all sorts of compartments for storage of meločevki... ".
We got out of the car and were close to the elusive Aston, Bentley, Koenigsegg and Ferrari is one of the main stars of the Geneva Motor Show. Now the Seat, you are aware of its task. Build it exactly as your designer wants. You are welcome.
