Seat Toledo (2005-) Review

Category: Compact MPV 3.5 out of 5

Summary of the Seat Toledo (2005-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Excellent drive, good choice of engines

Drawbacks

Little to distinguish between it and Altea, only good for four

Verdict

The Toledo doesn't mark itself out from the excellent Altea MPV enough, which could confuse potential buyers.

Review

Safety and Security5 out of 5

Six airbags are fitted as standard on all Toledos: driver and passenger, two side and two curtain 'bags. The front passenger airbag is switchable, allowing the fitment of a rear-facing child seat without risk of injury. Active safety features includes anti-lock brakes with Electronic Stability Programme. When ABS is triggered, ESP applies more braking power to the rear wheels to reduce braking distances. ESP also independently brakes wheels to correct any understeer or oversteer.

Three-point seat belts are fitted to all five seats. Pedestrians are protected in the case of a frontal impact by energy-absorbing areas in the bonnet and the mounting of parked wiper blades in the A-Pillars will also reduce head injuries. Seat is hoping for a high rating in the EuroNCAP crash tests; we expect a top five-star score.
