The initial version of the SEAT Toledo (Typ1L) was launched as a four-doorfastbacksaloon,and its sales career lasted from May 1991 to March 1999. Technically it was a five-doorliftback,as its boot lid opened together with the rear window.
This generation of the Toledo was the first SEATautomobiledeveloped entirely underVolkswagen Groupownership, and it was built on theGolf Mk2Volkswagen Group A2 platformwith a 550-litrebootexpandable to 1360 litres when folding rear seats, larger in shape and size than theVolkswagen Jetta/Vento'scombined with the advantage of a tailgate.[1][2][3]
Assaloonversions ofsmall family carswere rare in Europe, it was sometimes considered alarge family cardue to its overall length and boot size, despite having comparably less rear leg room, and pricing closer to small family cars.
It went on sale in most of Europe in May 1991, though it did not arrive on the British market until October 1991, with the official launch at theLondon Motorfair.The Toledo was the first SEAT to be sold in Sweden, when it went on sale there at the turn of the year.[4]
The Toledo initially featured the then standard range of Volkswagen Group engines for the class, from a base 1.6 L 75 PS (55 kW; 74 bhp) petrol engine up to oneGTversion using the 2.0 L 115 PS (85 kW; 113 bhp) engine.
Later, the Toledo would see the addition of more powerful versions, including a 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) 2.0 GTI 16v, and 110 PS (81 kW; 108 bhp) 1.9 TDI which, like many diesel engines built since 1996 by theVolkswagen Group,is advertised as capable of running on either mineral diesel orbiodiesel.
This model later received a mildfaceliftin September 1995, and made its début at the 1995Frankfurt Motor Show.Sales were not strong however, as has been the case for all the generations of the Toledo.

The second generation Toledo (Typ1M) was introduced in 1998, and made its début at the 1998Paris Motor Showas a four-doornotchbacksaloon.Sales commenced in October 1998. It went on sale there in March 1999.
It was more rounded than the previous first generation shape and had a much more fluid design, although both were products ofGiorgetto Giugiaro'sItaldesignstudio, with the latest generation being influenced by SEAT's chief of exterior design Steve Lewis.[8]
It shared components with itsVolkswagenandŠkodaPQ34 platformmates, theVolkswagen Boraand theŠkoda Octavia,being positioned as the sportiest of the three. In the interior, thedashboardwas derived from that of the first generation Audi A3.[9]
It was built on theVolkswagen Golf Mk4platform, which meant stiff springs to support the load of the large 500 litre boot increased to 830 litres when folding rear seats.[10][11][12]
The early models were built at the Volkswagen/Audi plant in Belgium, with improved build quality (compared to the Spanish built previous generation), although the Toledo was still presented as an economic alternative to the lower level of theD-segment,and included in the basic price a high level of equipment.
One of the features most associated with the Spanish model, the tailgate was removed in favour of a more traditional four doorsaloonbootopening. The following year, the Toledo would be used as the base for a properhatchback,theSEAT LeónMark 1.
Base model was now acrossflow1.6 litre 100 PS (74 kW; 99 bhp) petrol engine, followed by a 1.8 litre twenty valve 125 PS (92 kW; 123 bhp) unit, while the top of the line was represented by the 2.3 litre 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp)VR5 engine(V5).
Diesel engined versions used the 1.9Turbocharged Direct Injection(TDI) engine, with avariable geometry turbocharger,offered initially with power outputs of 90 PS (66 kW; 89 bhp) or 110 PS (81 kW; 108 bhp). In 2001, the V5 engine was uprated with a 20v head (four valves per cylinder), boosting power to 170 PS (125 kW; 168 bhp).
Later in the series, the 1.8 litre twenty valve Toledo received aturbocharger,capable of delivering 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp), and a later evolution of the VW TDI engine, produced engines of 130 PS (96 kW; 128 bhp) and 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp).
These three versions all featured a six speedmanual transmission.The 130 PS TDI also featured white dials instead of the standard black dials on the 110 and 150 PS TDI models. Production of theTyp1M Toledo ended in July 2004.

The third generation Toledo (Typ5P) was introduced in 2004, and as a production car made its début at the2004 Paris Motor Show.However, a preview of it had already been revealed at the 2004 Madrid Motor Show, with the presentation of theSEAT Toledo Prototipo.[15]Production lasted from February 2004 to May 2009.
Its bodywork is completely different from the previous two generations: abandoning the traditionalthree boxsaloon format, the Toledo Mk3 has a five-door hatchback sedan design penned byWalter de'Silva,although now closer to acompact MPVwith theAltea's front section, a high roof, and a rear end inspired byRenault Vel Satis,paying homage to the original Toledo's hatchback/saloon rear.
All pretense of a sporty identity was thrown out, in favour of a more upscale and alternative image. A large five hundred litreDINboot is an interesting feature, while it can be increased to 1440 litres after folding rear seats.[16][17]Under the bodywork, the SEAT Toledo uses the same underpinnings as theVolkswagen Golf Mk5.
All engines are identical to otherVolkswagen Groupunits, with petrol engines ranging from 102 PS (75 kW; 101 bhp) to 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) and diesel engines from 105 PS (77 kW; 104 bhp) to 140 PS (103 kW; 138 bhp).
Updates include the arrival of a 170 PS (125 kW; 168 bhp) TDI engine in 2006, as well as atiptronicgearbox in the 2.0 FSI model. A 1.8 L turbocharged version of this engine became available in the middle of 2007.

Reliability
editAlong with other SEATs, the Toledo has been a markedly reliable vehicle – more so than the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf, with which it shares platforms. In May 2006,Warranty Direct,a provider based in the United Kingdom of mechanical warranties for used cars, rated the Toledo with a higher reliability index compared to the Golf produced over the same period and the Audi A3.[18][19]
In 2010, and though out of production, the Warranty direct's Reliability index marks that the SEAT Toledo still ranks within the list of the United Kingdom's one hundred most reliable cars of the last decade.[20]

SEAT released anAudi A4 (B7)basedlarge family carcalled theSEAT Exeoin October 2008, with both four doorsaloonand five doorestatebodystyles.The Exeo was not intended as a direct replacement for the Toledo according to the company, although production of the Toledo was ended in May 2009, due to low sales.[21]
Aconcept carbased on the Toledo Mk4 production model was presented at the2012 Geneva Motor Show.This vehicle is closely related to theŠkoda Rapidas a five-doorliftback,both are based on an adaptation of theA05+ (PQ25)platform and are assembled in the sameŠkodafactory inMladá Boleslav.[22][23]
The Toledo commenced sales in Spain and Portugal towards the end of 2012, and the rest of Europe and Mexico in the beginning of 2013,[24]with the all new Toledo sitting in between the smallerIbizasuperminiand the largerLeónsmall family car.
The Toledo received a five star rating in theEuro NCAP.

Critical reception
editThe fourth generation of the Toledo received generally negative reviews from critics. In October 2014,Top Gear Magazineplaced the Toledo on its list ofThe Worst Cars You Can Buy Right Now.[29]What Car?awarded it 2 stars out of 5, noting that the Toledo is "at odds with the sporty image SEAT likes to portray its cars as having" while also having a firm ride. Criticism was targeted towards the hard plastics in its interior as well. On the positive side, they've praised the Toledo's big boot, rear legroom and frugality.[30]Autocarwas slightly more positive, awarding it 3 stars out of 5, calling it a "no-nonsense family car", but criticised its driver appeal and bland design.[31][32]
