In its latest Toledo concept, SEAT has aimed to create a saloon car that utilises the best in coupé design.
The manufacturer will unveil the SEAT Toledo at the Geneva Motor Show, which runs from the 8th March to the 12th March. The model pairs the comfort of a saloon with the sporty design of a coupé.
Comfort is one of the main features that the Toledo creators hoped to push in their latest concept. The new Toledo has room for five people, while being able to fit more than 500 litres in its boot.
In addition to this, the rear seats can be folded and, according to its creators, this means that the vehicle boasts a maximum load capacity that is greater than 'regular' estate cars, as designers and engineers paid close attention to achieving a "high degree of functionality" with the Toledo concept.
President of SEAT, James Muir, explained that their SEAT Toledo Concept illustrates the company's idea of the perfect mid-range car, "It is an excellent combination of emotional design, top-level usability and dynamic driving characteristics," he said.
"The subsequent production model, our new Toledo, will write a whole new success story with its clear SEAT identity, its excellent quality standard and exceptional value-for-money. Following the Mii family and the new Ibiza, the new Toledo marks the next wave in our model offensive and growth strategy," added Muir.
A car for the demands of everyday life
SEAT Vice President for Research and Development, Dr Matthias Rabe, argued that the firm's central aim when creating the Toledo Concept was to offer a perfect vehicle for the demands of everyday life, with the highest levels of quality and reliability.
Rabe continued: "State-of-the-art technologies in terms of engines and chassis will deliver fun driving combined with outstanding efficiency and safety - reflecting the core values of our brand. The Toledo will be equipped with the very latest technology from the Volkswagen Group."
