SEAT Toledo

Richard Fisher, General Manager,

"The 2015 SEAT Toledo 1.2 TSI 110 Style Advanced is one of those brilliantly understated cars that savvy buyers quietly appreciate. Beneath its unassuming exterior lies a car that shares its DNA with far more premium machines, offering the space, refinement, and driving manners of something far more expensive. If you want Audi A4 practicality without the price tag, this is a hidden gem. Under the bonnet, the 1.2 TSI turbocharged petrol engine delivers 110bhp, which might not sound earth-shattering, but thanks to its light chassis, the Toledo feels punchy and eager. It's smooth, economical, and paired with a slick manual gearbox that makes it a pleasure to drive both in town and on the motorway. The ride is comfortable, the handling predictable, and there's that solid, reassuring feel you expect from a car with Volkswagen Group engineering underneath. Where the Toledo really shines is practicality. The boot is nothing short of monstrous, at 550 litres, it dwarfs even some full-sized saloons, and with the seats folded, you're looking at estate-rivalling space. Rear passengers aren't shortchanged either, with plenty of legroom and a comfortable, well-trimmed cabin in Style Advanced trim, complete with touchscreen infotainment, climate control, and Bluetooth connectivity. For those who value substance over badge appeal, the SEAT Toledo is a fantastic choice. It's spacious, efficient, and packed with hidden quality, all the usability of an Audi, at a fraction of the cost. A truly underrated all-rounder."
