The Volkswagen Group is looking to realign its brands to create more differentiation, and are planning to push SEAT upmarket and move Skoda down according to a recent report.

SEAT’s now standalone Cupra previews the electric Tavascan SUV Concept heading for the Frankfurt Motor Show, with individual looks and a 302bhp EV powertrain.

The SEAT Tarraco – SEAT’s biggest SUV – will arrive at the Frankfurt Motor Show with a new plug-in hybrid powertrain and sporty FR trim.

The electric SEAT el-Born Concept is heading for Geneva as a SEAT electric hatch concept, SEAT’s take on the VW ID Hatch. There was a time, not so very long ago, when SEAT was the poor relation of the VW Group, making losses when the rest of the group were making profits. But the arrival […]
