The Martorell plant would lose 48% of its production without Seat

The future of the Seat brand beyond 2030 is under review, sparking concerns about the impact on production at the Volkswagen group's plant in Martorell, Barcelona. In 2024, the Martorell plant produced 470,347 vehicles, with Seat models accounting for 47.8% of production, or over 225,000 units of the Ibiza, Arona, and León models.

Cupra models, which are more profitable for Seat SA, made up 36.5% of production, with 171,844 units of the León and Formentor models. Cupra has now surpassed Seat in sales, with 328,819 units sold worldwide in 2025, a 32.5% increase from the previous year.
