What is the SEAT Córdoba?
The SEAT Córdoba is a compact saloon with a separate boot, related to the Ibiza. Its more formal shape offered an alternative to the hatchback body style in SEAT’s small-car range. Founded in Spain in 1950, SEAT became a familiar name in European motoring; the Córdoba was among the models the company built as its range broadened.
