Seat Cars
Seat is a Spanish auto manufacturer owned by the Volkswagen Group. They hold the distinction of being the only Spanish auto maker with the ability to design, develop, and produce its own vehicles. Started in 1950 as Sociedad Espanola de Automovilles de Turismo, S.A., their first car rolled out in 1953, the 1400 model. By 1957 they helped Spain welcome in massive motorization. After 40 years, the company name was officially shortened to SEAT, S.A..
With a shorter history than many other brands, SEAT's motto is "in your face." An attitude not only put forth by their recruitment of young, professional employees, but by their models themselves. They offer a range of modern, sports-oriented products with unique identifying features. With their World Touring Car Championship trophy as proof that SEAT cars are more than appearance, future models promise outstanding performance.
