Munster man signs up as Seat ambassador

Munster Rugby player Jack O’Sullivan has signed for a new team.

He won’t be leaving Munster but he will be a partner with Seat dealer Johnson & Perrott Mahonpoint for 12 months.

O’Sullivan will be behind the wheel of the all-new Seat Leon for the next year, which he picked up from the Johnson & Perrott showroom as it reopened its doors on 17 May.

The all-new fourth generation Leon launched in 2020 and has received international accolades including Autobest’s Best Buy Car of Europe 2021 and the much-coveted Golden Steering Wheel Award.

The new Seat Leon is the most advanced vehicle in the history of the brand and includes cutting-edge illumination technology and full connectivity. Through the Seat Connect app, users can remotely access their vehicle’s driving data, parking position, vehicle status and close the doors with the remote lock and unlock service.

The Leon is available with both traditional petrol (TSI) and diesel (TDI) engines as well as plug-in hybrid with the new Leon e-Hybrid which handles drivers everyday needs in EV-mode, capable of up to 64km on battery power alone.

Jack O’Sullivan said: “I am delighted to come on board as a Seat brand ambassador for Johnson & Perrott Mahonpoint. The Leon is Seat’s first completely connected car and I’m really looking forward to getting behind the wheel and trying out the new features.”

Mark Whitaker, CEO at Johnson & Perrott Motor Group added: “We are thrilled to announce Jack O’Sullivan as a Seat ambassador. The Leon is the perfect model for Jack and with its technological capabilities, will keep him connected while he’s on the road.”

“At Johnson & Perrott, we have a range of fantastic offers across the Seat 212 range at the moment and I would urge customers to visit our showroom or log onto our website at johnsonandperrott.seat to avail of these offers while they can.”

Seat Ireland is offering customers excellent value on the purchase of a 212 model, including 2.9 per cent PCP Finance on the Seat Leon and an online discount voucher which can be downloaded from seat.ie. The vouchers allow for a discount of €1,000 on the purchase of the all-new Seat Leon or Leon e-HYBRID.

The brand is also offering customers a three year service plan for just €9.99 per month. The SEAT Leon is available in SE, Xcellence and FR trims starting from just €24,640 for the Leon SE.
