The SUV sensation is continuing full steam ahead. Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) are taking up a larger share of the market year after year. In 2021 they accounted for 46% of car registrations in Europe, 5 percentage points more than the previous year. A clear example of this growth evolution is SEAT’s SUV range. In 2022 it topped the one million mark in terms of sales of its three models just six years after the launch of its first one. Last year, the Arona, Ateca and Tarraco already accounted for 49% of the brand’s global sales, with 192,100 units. Design, versatility and sporty driving play an essential role amongst the reasons for their popularity.
As part of its constant commitment to innovation and to the future of the company, focused on electrification, SEAT has invested more than 30 million euros in recent years to create the most advanced powertrain test centre in southern Europe. The facilities are equipped with nine multi-energy test benches, which enable different types of tests to be carried out on internal combustion, electric, hybrid and CNG engines, with the aim of ensuring that they meet the quality, CO2 and other emissions, durability and performance requirements committed to throughout their life cycle.
Virtual reality is increasingly widespread in the automotive world. Designers can drive future cars long before they go into production and even define their interior layout before actually building a prototype. Taking advantage of this technology, we get behind the wheel of a Leon to discover its interior and drive around the streets of Barcelona without having to leave the building.

SEAT launches a pioneering project that uses drones to transport parts In just 15 minutes a steering wheel is flown from the logistics centre to the assembly line This technological solution increases efficiency and flexibility and reduces environemntal impactsForest fire prevention, border patrol and even tax inspection. Drones can increasingly be seen in the sky and their purposes are constantly multiplying. Now there is a new use for them: transporting car parts. Partnering with Grupo Sesé, SEAT has implemented a pilot project that enables drones to deliver components from the logistics centre to the assembly workshops in only 15 minutes. The first drone delivery of a steering wheel went as follows.
