Today, the global automotive industry is experiencing a turning point in its history. We decided to talk with the official Importer of SEAT brand cars, Porsche Ukraine LLC, regarding the present and future of the Spanish brand in Ukraine.
– What is the current situation with the supply of SEAT cars to Ukraine?
– Actually now at the global level SEAT stronger than ever. Now that the semiconductor situation has begun to normalize, the Brand’s global sales have increased by 22% this year, reaching 240,800 vehicles sold. The brand has a high order bank and the best range of products in its entire history.

As for Ukraine, after the suspension of supplies to Ukraine at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, now all work processes have been restored: all models from the official sales program for our market are available in Brand warehouses in Ukraine and abroad, and orders for production are accepted as usual.
– What changes are expected in the model range of the SEAT brand in Ukraine in the near future?
– If we talk about the current models of the Arona and Ateca crossovers, as well as the Leon and Ibiza hatchbacks, they will remain on the assembly line in accordance with the planned life cycle and will be presented in the future on the Ukrainian automobile market, with the exception of some changes in the engine line.
For example, we are planning to update the Leon and Leon SP models next year in order to continue to offer relevant and economical cars to our customers. In the future we also expect updates to the Ibiza and Arona models.
SEAT Ibiza will be updated next year
As for the Tarraco model, production of the current generation of this model ends in the second quarter of 2024. Since the Tarraco model with a 2.0 TDI engine and all-wheel drive was loved by Ukrainians, we have planned an additional batch of such cars, the first of which are already in stock in Ukraine.
Therefore, our clients are still may have time to purchase a reliable all-wheel drive diesel 7-seater crossover of our Brand for your large family.
Manufactured by SEAT Tarraco will end next year, but a special final game will be made for the Ukrainians
– What is the current situation with service maintenance for SEAT cars?
– The official SEAT service network consists of 15 enterprises, which provides sufficient service coverage in Ukraine.
It is worth noting that in reliability ratings from European publications, SEAT cars regularly appear in the TOP 10: for example, Ibiza and Arona are among the current leaders in terms of the duration of “no shows” at service stations, and this is actually why corporate fleets choose these models. And in 2023, SEAT Ateca took 3rd place in the reliability rating among SUVs, according to the British publication WhatCar.
SEAT Ateca is one of the most reliable crossovers in Europe
– How do you see the future of the SEAT brand?
– For us, the SEAT brand is an important component of our company’s portfolio in Ukraine. We highly value customers who choose our Brand and will continue to provide the Ukrainian market with high-quality and modern cars and service.
Regarding the global transformation that the global auto industry is experiencing, you are right that most automakers are now working to adapt their portfolio to the requirements of today. Our manufacturer is also working on the future of the Brand to meet the market demands in the long term.
