Used Seat cars buying guide
Seat builds a range of cars that combine a sporty look and feel with comparatively low ownership costs. The Spanish company is best known for the Ibiza and Leon hatchbacks, but the Arona and Ateca are two of the most popular SUVs on the market.
Used Seat cars offer sensible running costs, thanks to fuel-efficient petrol and diesel engines, and share many parts with other cars produced by the Volkswagen Group, which owns Audi, Seat and Skoda, as well as Volkswagen itself.
Which used Seat cars are for sale?
You’ll find a range of used Seat cars for sale, including hatchbacks, estates, SUVs and MPVs. The smallest is the Mii, which is a (very) compact hatchback available with three or five doors. It’s worth checking out the Mii Electric, which offers an official 161 miles of pure-electric range.
The Ibiza hatchback is one of Seat’s most popular cars. It’s fun to drive, offers good value for money and is available with a choice of fuel-efficient engines. Next up is the larger Leon, a mid-size car available as a five-door hatchback or as an even more practical estate.
The range of Seat SUVs stretches from the compact Arona to the mid-size Ateca and all the way up to the seven-seat Tarraco, which was introduced in 2018 and effectively replaced the Alhambra MPV.
Are there any hybrid or electric Seat models?
The Mii Electric is the only used Seat available in pure-electric form. It offers a range of up to 116 miles when fully charged, according to official figures.
For a plug-in hybrid check out the Leon e-Hybrid, which can give 235mpg and has a zero-emissions range of up to 40 miles, according to official figures. The Leon is also available as a full hybrid, badged e-TSI.
