SUV stands for Sports Utility Vehicle. In this class of vehicle, we've always created dynamic, sporty options with a stylish and spacious body. In some of our trims you'll find additional attention placed on increased comfort in order to maximise the SUVs full potential. Our SUV range goes from the smallest, the SEAT Arona to the mid-sized SEAT Ateca and right up to the largest, the SEAT Tarraco.
For the SEAT Arona and SEAT Ateca, the following trims are available:
For the SEAT Tarraco, the following trims are available:
A small SUV, like the SEAT Arona, is an urban SUV aimed at a wide range of drivers. The SEAT Arona combines the compact measurements found in the A0 segment (suited for an urban lifestyle) with enhanced spaciousness and usability.
SEAT has begun its drive towards electrification by focusing on the PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle). Our first PHEV SUV is the SEAT Tarraco e-HYBRID which is available in both the XPERIENCE and FR Trims. These options combine the usability of an SUV with greater efficiency, resulting in a more environmentally friendly version of the SUV.
SEAT currently has 3 different types of electric car within its range. Find out more about them here so you can choose one that’s right for you.
Going electric means looking ahead. A more eco-friendly, comfortable way to get around and with lots of other advantages too.
You can power up your electric car at home, at your destination or during your trip.
Our electric cars allow you to travel hundreds of kilometers on a single charge (the new SEAT Mii electric has a combined range of 260km*), so when considering that the average distance driven per day by EU drivers is 60km, the SEAT Mii electric certainly does not need recharging on a daily basis. At an average of 60km a day you would need to recharge the SEAT Mii electric every 4 – 5 days. Also, if you are doing your driving within the city remember that the range increases to around 360km, so you would need to recharge less frequently.
To enjoy the full benefits of an e-Hybrid it is a good idea to power up every day. But if for some reason you forget to recharge, it will continue to run as a conventional hybrid: using additional energy from regenerative braking. This gives you greater efficiency than a standard combustion engine.
*WLTP range of up to 259 km with combined city & roadway driving and up to 358 km with 100% city driving.
The right kind of electric car depends on your needs and everyday requirements. Will you be using your car mainly for urban travel: to and from work? In this case, a fully Electric Vehicle (BEV), like the SEAT Mii electric, would give you full access to urban zones while keeping consumptions costs to an absolute minimum. If you want to travel longer distances (especially outside of urban centres) an e-HYBRID (PHEV – Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicle) would perhaps be a better option.
e-HYBRID technology (PHEV - Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) acts as a bridge between combustion and fully electric cars. This technology is an ideal choice for users who aren’t quite ready to go for a purely electric car yet. Offering the advantages of an electric car, but with the peace of mind that comes from a traditional combustion engine.
Thanks to the increased sustainability offered by PHEV vehicles, and the reduced environmental impact in which they have, many governments have started to promote their usage by creating various subsidies for electric car users. These subsidies often come in the form of direct discounts at the point of purchase, TAX exemptions, and subventions for home chargers, as well as other associated economic benefits such as free access on toll roads and free parking spaces etc.
Many cities are creating restricted zones to limit, or in some cases prohibit, combustion vehicles from entering. In such zones the use of either an e-Hybrid (like the SEAT Leon e-Hybrid, driven in electric mode to allow for a 10km range*) Or fully electric vehicles are able to drive freely as they emit zero CO2 emission and do not contribute to air contamination within the city.

Yes.
Affected customers can be sure that the technical measures will be successfully implemented and will not have adverse effects on their vehicles‘ fuel consumption figures, CO2 emissions, engine power, maximum torque or noise emissions. This was a key precondition for approval of the technical measure by the authorities. However, if you experience a problem with your vehicle, please contact your next <<BRAND<<service partner or call the Diesel-Hotline at the>> + 11111111 <<.

When a holder has the technical measures implemented in an affected vehicle, the customer decides independently. However, we note that in those countries where the relevant authorities have ordered the recall to the customers, they may be able to impose sanctions if the technical measures on an affected vehicle are not implemented within a certain period of time.
Nevertheless, we assume that you may temporarily use your vehicle in countries with a legally required recall (e.g. during a holiday or during transit).
In the engine controller of the vehicles with affected engines, a software function was used that recognized the driving curve of the official type test. Depending on the recognition of the driving curve the engine controller switches to 2 different modes: mode 1 with an optimum NOx level for testing conditions or mode 2 for optimum levels of particulate matter in use on the road.
You will have to register your car in that country. Normally the authorities will inform you that you need to get the update within a certain period of time (xxx months?). Please contact your SEAT service partner in your new home country.
The edition of the owner's manual is the same as the year of production of your vehicle.
The vehicle owner’s manual is an instructional booklet that is specific to your car model and production year.
It includes important information to understand all of the car's features. It also includes maintenance tips and troubleshooting tips.
On the SEAT website you can find all the manuals predating 2005 onwards. If you have a model predating 2005, you can ask for a copy at your nearest retailer.

SEAT recommends Genuine Oil for all our vehicles. Oil is the lifeblood of your car, it helps your car to run smoothly. If the wrong oil is used, the engine is at risk of increased wear and corrosion or even engine seizure due to a formation of blockages.
We recommend changing the oil and filter in Volkswagen vehicles every 12 months or 15,000 kms, whichever occurs first. Always reference your Owner’s Manual for service intervals and schedule maintenance information.
An extended warranty can be purchased once you reach the end of your term, more information is available here or you can contact your local retailer.
To help you get the most from your electric or hybrid car, we recommend charging at home via the My SEAT app.
And for on-street charging we recommend you use the SEAT Charging app by Elli.
There are no plans to repair the battery due to reduced capacity with aging. However, in developing the battery, we set a very ambitious goal - namely that the battery should still have 70% of its power after 10 years.
At SEAT, we’re so confident in the quality of our engineering that all of our electric cars come with an eight-year or 160,000 km high voltage battery warranty (whichever is soonest). The warranty applies to all fully electric cars.
An electric car doesn’t require motor oil, as it uses an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine.
Electric vehicles require less maintenance than conventional vehicles.
You should check the tyres, replace the cabin filters, keep on top of wear and tear to components such as brake pads and wiper blades and stop every once in a while think about how much gas you are saving.

You can find alloy wheels in our accessories range, alternatively you can speak to your SEAT Authorised Service.
The recommended tyre pressure for your model can be found in the owner’s manual.
If the pressure is too high the centre of your tyres will make disproportionate contact with the road, which in turn causes uneven tread wear.
Most petrol stations have measuring equipment. If possible, it’s best to check the pressure when the tyres are cold.
Tyres lose on average 0.1 PSI of pressure every three months. If your tyres are losing pressure more quickly, you should contact your SEAT Authorised Service.
Take a look at our ‘How to guide’ or check your owner’s manual. Find more information about tires here.
Tyres are subject to wear that can vary based on driving habits and road conditions, so there isn't a set timeframe on how long the original tyres should last. To help get the most out of your tyres, please refer to the “Tyres” section in your Owner’s Manual for proper tire care guidelines.
