SEAT is entering the next phase of its story, bringing new cars, efficient and electrified engines, new standards of connectivity, and greater emphasis on design, starting with the all-new SEAT Leon.The Leon has been a cornerstone of the SEAT range since 1999, accumulating more than 2.2 million sales globally (252,416 in the UK) across three generations of the model, transforming the brand into a key competitor in the UK.The all-new SEAT Leon is the latest vehicle in this lineage – adding connectivity, electrified powertrains, automated safety systems – designed, developed and built at SEAT’s facilities in Martorell, Barcelona.The hatch and Estate sector of the market is increasingly competitive, with new entrants and a move towards larger vehicles; however, the all-new SEAT Leon, with a strong design evolution, greater practicality, connectivity and efficient, electrified powertrains, meets the challenge.
Headlights not only provide better visibility in low light conditions, but are also among the most important design aspects in the development of a vehicle - for a car, they are what eyes are for a human face Close Collaboration between Designers and Engineers In the SEAT Light Tunnel, these specialists are carrying out all the necessary test and inspection procedures for headlamps and taillights to achieve the perfect light for greater comfort and safety.The lighting and light signals team uses 3D simulations to create mechanisms with new geometries. Up to 300 simulations are performed per model to test the feasibility of the design.Does the angle of the light beam change when the car is loaded?The answer is no.
Essential safety elements that are also a key design aspect of every model, headlights are to a car as eyes are to a face. More than three years of close collaboration between designers and engineers go into creating the lights of a car. In SEAT’s light tunnel, these specialists carry out all the necessary tests and verifications on headlights and taillights in order to achieve the perfect light that delivers greater comfort and safety at the wheel:
Clocks have already changed back one hour, and many people are making their commute from work to home when the sun has already gone down. Despite there being less road traffic at night, this is when 30% of all accidents take place in Europe. In situations of poor visibility, it is important to know how to use your car’s lights. Maite París, who is in charge of Headlamps at SEAT, explains how to use them effectively:
