SEAT 132
The SEAT 132 was a large family car produced by the Spanish manufacturer SEAT between 1973 and 1982. It was based on the Fiat 132, under license from Fiat. The 132 represented SEAT's move into a higher market segment than its smaller models like the 124 and 127.
Initially, the SEAT 132 was offered with 1.6-liter and 1.8-liter petrol engines. Later, a diesel version was introduced, becoming one of the first diesel-powered passenger cars produced by SEAT.
Throughout its production run, the SEAT 132 underwent minor revisions and updates. It was known for its relatively comfortable ride and spacious interior, making it a popular choice for families and taxi drivers in Spain. However, it also faced criticism for its somewhat lackluster performance compared to some of its competitors.
Production of the SEAT 132 ceased in 1982, and it was eventually succeeded in SEAT's lineup by the SEAT Málaga and, later, the SEAT Exeo, although neither were direct replacements in terms of market positioning. The 132 occupies a significant place in SEAT's history as a stepping stone towards larger and more sophisticated models.
