The Toledo was the first SEAT developed entirely under VW leadership. The first generation was a five-door liftback built on the Volkswagen Golf Mk II chassis, with boot similar in shape and size to the Volkswagen Bora's but 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 smaller rear leg room and pricing closer to small family cars.

The Toledo initially featured underpowered engines compared to the Ibiza and Málaga's System Porsche units, such as a base 1.6 L 75 PS (55 kW) petrol engine and a GT version using the 2.0 L 115 PS (85 kW) engine. Later the Toledo would see the addition of more powerful versions, including a 150 PS (110 kW) 2.0 GTI 16V and 110 PS (81 kW) 1.9 TDI which, like many diesels built since 1996 by the Volkswagen Group, it is advertised as capable of running on both mineral diesel and biodiesel.

It was built on the Golf Mk IV platform, which meant stiff springs to keep the large 500 litre boot in the air. The early models were built at the Audi/VW plant in Belgium with much improved build quality, although the Toledo was still presented as an economic alternative to the lower level of the D segment, and included in the basic price a high level of equipment. Unfortunately, one of the features most associated with the Spanish model, the tailgate was removed in favor of a more traditional saloon boot opening. The following year, the Toledo would be used as the base for a proper hatchback, the SEAT León.

Base model was now a crossflow 1.6-litre 100 PS (74 kW) petrol engine, followed by a 1.8-litre 20-valve 125 PS (98 kW) unit, while the top of the line was represented by the 2.3-litre 150 PS (110 kW) V5 engine. Diesel versions used the 1.9 TDI engine, with a variable geometry turbocharger, offered initially with power outputs of 90 PS (66 kW) or 110 PS (81 kW). In 2001, the V5 engine was uprated with a 20v head boosting power to 170 PS (167.7 hp/125 kW). Later in the series, the 1.8-litre 20-valve Toledo received a turbocharger, capable of delivering 180 PS (132 kW), and a later evolution of the VW TDI engine, produced engines of 130 PS (96 kW) and 150 PS (110 kW). These three versions all featured a six-speed manual transmission. The 130 PS TDi also featured white dials instead of the standard black dials on the 110 & 150 PS TDi models.

The third generation was introduced in 2004, and it is completely different from the previous two. Abandoning the saloon format, the Toledo Mk III 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 Mk V. All engines are, fittingly, 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. Tiptronic is a type of discrete automatic transmission developed by Porsche and used in its vehicles and those of its licensees. ...

In many European markets, including Britain, the third generation Toledo has not been a strong seller, its chances of success hardly helped by its weird styling. This has led to SEAT deciding that the next generation of the Toledo (due in 2009) will revert to the conventional saloon bodystyle.
