context_page_description: The SEAT Toledo is a small family car produced by the Spanish manufacturer SEAT, part of Volkswagen Group. The Toledo name was first introduced to the SEAT line up in May 1991, with the fourth and most recent generation being introduced at the end of 2012, for the model year of 2013. The Toledo received a five star rating in the Euro NCAP. It is technically similar to the Škoda Rapid.
  Production of the Toledo ended in November 2018, with SEAT currently not represented in the segment.
context_section_description: The initial version of the SEAT Toledo (Typ 1L) was launched as a four door fastback saloon, and its sales career lasted from May 1991 to March 1999. Technically is was a five door liftback, as its boot lid opened together with the rear window.
  This generation of the Toledo was the first SEAT automobile developed entirely under Volkswagen Group ownership, and it was built on the Golf Mk2 Volkswagen Group A2 platform with a 550 litre boot expandable to 1360 litres when folding rear seats, larger in shape and size than the Volkswagen Jetta/Vento's combined with the advantage of a tailgate.
  As saloon versions of small family cars were rare in Europe, it was sometimes considered a large family car due 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 the London Motorfair.
  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 one GT version 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 the Volkswagen Group,  is advertised as capable of running on either mineral diesel or biodiesel.
  This model later received a mild facelift in September 1995, and made its début at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show. Sales were not strong however, as has been the case for all the generations of the Toledo.
