Volkswagen Seat information

Although the Seat cars are Spanish-made, German carmaker Volkswagen is in the SEAT of power. A subsidiary of Volkswagen AG, SEAT (Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo) sells more than 400,000 passenger cars per year. The company's brand names include Alhambra, Altea, Cordoba, Ibiza, Leon, and Toledo. SEAT exports about two-thirds of its production, mainly to Europe, although the company operates in more than 70 countries through a network of nearly 3,600 dealers. SEAT was founded in 1950 by Spain's Instituto Nacional de Industria (INI) in cooperation with Italy's Fiat.

About Seat

VW Seat is to expand its range by building a new city car and family car, and possibly put its Tribu 4x4 concept car into production.

At the moment, Seat feels it is too reliant on its core models.To do that, Seat is going to build a new city car, based on the forthcoming Volkswagen Up!, although there's no word on when that might happen.

More immediately, we'll see a new family car - a rival for the Ford Mondeo, Renault Laguna and Peugeot 407, which will go on sale early next year in both saloon and estate forms. It will be based on the outgoing Audi A4 chassis.

Seat is also close to deciding whether to build the Tribu 4x4 concept car, first seen at the Frankfurt motor show last year. It would use many of the parts from the VW Tiguan, and take on rivals such as the Ford Kuga, Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V.
