SEAT will have its first-ever SUV

Martorell, 26/03/2014. - SEAT will have a compact SUV (Sport Utility
Vehicle) in its product line-up after working on its design and
development for almost two years. Marketing of the model will begin in
2016.

"This is an excellent piece of news, since it takes SEAT into a
new territory, in one of the largest and fastest growing segments in
the world", declared SEAT Chairman Jürgen Stackmann today in the
Annual Results Press Presentation. He added "the SUV is an
important pillar in the future corporate strategy and is a major step
forward on the road to reaching sustainable profitability for the
company."

The SUV decision is a clear sign of the Volkswagen Group's commitment
to the Spanish brand. The new model means achieving a foothold in a
growing segment that represents close to one million cars per year in
Europe alone, one that has increased more than 40% over the past five
years, and will continue to grow in the future. Moreover, its future
marketing implies the further broadening of SEAT's product range,
enabling the brand to maintain its current growth momentum, following
the successful launch of the Leon family, which is receiving numerous
accolades and awards across Europe.

The new SUV will be developed by the SEAT Technical Centre at
Martorell, a unique hub of excellence in southern Europe with more
than 900 engineers dedicated to innovation.
