The SEAT Exeo
SEAT Exeo Review
The SEAT Exeo is something of a departure for SEAT. Never before has the Spanish manufacturer made a sporty saloon of this ilk, which is surprising when you consider some of the championship-winning hatches in the company's portfolio. The SEAT Exeo (ex-ay-oh) may be a sporty saloon but not in the same manner as a Maserati Quattroporte, say, or even a Mitsubishi Evo. the full review

SEAT Ibiza SC Review
Following closely on from the new five-door SEAT Ibiza - the Ibiza SC is SEAT's new three-door coupe. There has been a previous 'sportier' three-door SEAT Ibiza, but now SEAT has made a distinction between the two models calling the three-door car the SEAT Ibiza SC (Sports Coupe). SEAT's new Design Director Luc Donckerwolke, a former Lamborghini stylist with iconic supercars such as the Gallardo to his name has worked his magic on the new Sports Coupe. Although based on its five-door brother there are significant exterior styling differences between the two cars. The new SEAT Ibiza SC is larger than the old three-door Ibiza, it is 99mm longer than the previous car (but shorter than the new five-door car) and it rides 22mm lower to try and prove its sporty credentials. the full review

SEAT Ibiza SC Review
Rather than stick to traditional naming protocols, when it came to the three-door version of the new Ibiza, SEAT decided it was time to up the ante and make a statement of intent. the full review

SEAT Altea Freetrack 4 Review
The Altea Freetrack 4 is a curious animal; it combines traditional family transportation, off-road capability and typical SEAT sportiness, all in one package. Based on the Freetrack concept car shown at the 2007, Geneva Motor Show, the production version uses the SEAT Altea XL as a starting point. the full review

SEAT Altea Freetrack 4 Review
Released on the 20th October 2007 the SEAT Altea Freetrack 4 is billed as a crossover vehicle. Based on the SEAT Altea XL it is essentially three cars in one: it has off-road capability, the practicality and space of a large family estate, plus the handling and performance of a hot hatch. the full review

SEAT Leon Cupra Review
When the new SEAT Leon went on sale in September 2005, the question on many lips was, ‘when are we going to see the Cupra R version?’As of March, this year, the wait was over and fans of the old model can rest safe in the knowledge that there is now a replacement. the full review

SEAT Altea XL Review
Size zero models are constantly in the news but here’s an XL model that will appeal to those who prefer their bodies on the larger size. SEAT makes no bones about aiming the Altea XL at the family market. the full review

SEAT Ibiza Review
Does anyone take any notice of manufacturer’s tag lines? Is a Peugeot really ‘the drive of your life’ alternatively, are Honda's truly powered by dreams? Of course, it’s up to the individual and this particular individual wholeheartedly agrees with SEAT’s ‘auto emocion’. the full review
