Volkswagen announced it will close the Spanish brand Seat. The German car manufacturer decided to discontinue the brand based in Barcelona.

The closure of Seat is planned to occur by the end of 2029. This five-year timeframe allows for a gradual transition for the affected workers and suppliers.

The decision comes in a context of restructuring of the Volkswagen group and pressure on smaller brands in Europe. The company faces significant competitive challenges in the European car market.
