SEAT (Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo) is a Spanish automobile manufacturer, now part of the Volkswagen Group, known for producing stylish and sporty vehicles. The company began as a state-owned enterprise to motorize post-war Spain, eventually becoming a significant European automotive player. SEAT combines Spanish design flair with German engineering, creating vehicles that appeal to younger, design-conscious buyers. The brand has been particularly successful in developing sporty versions of mainstream cars through their Cupra division, which has now become a separate brand. SEAT's focus on combining performance, style, and value has made them particularly popular in European markets. The company has also been investing heavily in sustainable mobility solutions and urban transportation concepts.
