Differences between "regular" fr-line and excellence

Hi people, first post here, I'm looking to buy a Alhambra since the family is growing.

I have a few models I'm looking at for the moment, one is a 2018 and that basically says "SEAT Alhambra TDI 184 DSG7 4Drive Style Advanced"

And another option is a 2020 that says "Seat Alhambra 2.0 TDI 177 DSG7 4DRIVE XCELLENCE"

I know that one has a more powerful engine than the other.

But the excellence has fr logo on steering wheel etc so it's a bit confusing.

What are the real differences between the two?

Does fr line or excellence have more accessories?

The xcellence models are usually the luxury versions with all the toys.

The steering wheel should have an X on it not FR as they are two totally different trims.

Yea, that is why I'm a bit confused, but it can be a fault on the dealers part, the fr I'm originally looking at (came out earlier) have what I'm looking for, but for 5000€ more I can get a exclusive with less km on it, and a 2020 as well.

Both are at the same dealer though, so guess I will just look at them both.

If money isn’t too big a factor go for the excellence with better toys and less miles.

It has the smaller engine to right? A friend of mine recommended the bigger diesel, don't know if it "was still" avaliable in 184 bhp for 2020?

I basically can pay for the less km newer excellence as long as it has at least the gadgets the "real" fr has.

Don't really understand why the wheel says fr still.

Is there an app you can check out the car reg to confirm what each model is?

If the excellence one is confirmed as an excellence I’d be asking why it states FR on the wheel and possibly wouldn’t touch it.

I got the "real" fr, a good drive home for a little over 4 hours.

And the kids loved it as well.
