Joining the brand new Altea from early 2005 may be the next generation of Toledo, Displaying a radical transfer of styling from the ultra-conservatism of the outgoing model, the brand new Toledo is both bigger and wider compared to model it replaces – the additional size benefiting occupants by giving greater seat and luggage space.

Performance of the new model promises to become sharp and shiny, because of a range of punchy engines (particularly the 2.0FSI petrol and 140PS diesel) with six speed manual or sequential automatic gearbox, and Seat’s expected sporting suspension systems.

A brand new development in the vehicle is standardised Bluetooth wire-free connection from a mobile phone and also the car’s hands-free system, as well as an audio system that will play MP3 discs.
