The SEAT Toledo is an automobile built and marketed by Spanish automaker SEAT, a division of the Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen AG). The Toledo name was first introduced to the SEAT line-up in 1991, and the third generation was introduced in late 2004.

The third generation was introduced in 2004, and it is completely different from the previous two. Abandoning the traditional "three-box" saloon format, the Toledo Mk3 has a very controversial design, penned by Walter de'Silva. It is now closer to a compact MPV with the Altea's front section, a high roof, and a rearend inspired in the Renault Vel Satis, paying homage to the original Toledo's hatchback/sedan rear.

All pretense of a sporty identity was thrown out, in favour of a more upscale and alternative image. A large 500 L DIN boot is its most interesting feature. Under the bodywork, the SEAT Toledo uses the same underpinnings as the Volkswagen Golf Mk5. All engines are identical to other Volkswagen Group units, with petrol engines ranging from 102 to 150 PS (75 to 110 kW) and diesel engines from 105 to 140 PS (77 to 103 kW).

Updates include the arrival of a 170 PS (125 kW) TDI engine in 2006, as well as a Tiptronic gearbox in the 2.0 FSI model. A 1.8 L turbocharged version of this engine became available in mid 2007.
