New larger SEAT SUV on the way in 2018

[Syphon]

The new SUV will be positioned one segment above the Ateca and will become SEAT’s flagship model.

The car, featuring 5 and 7-seater versions, will reach dealerships in 2018

It will be designed and developed in Barcelona and made in the Wolfsburg factory, in the heart of the Volkswagen Group.

I'm guessing it will be based on 2018 Touareg.

Can be but remember that the Tiguan also has a lenghted version, so my money would be on that.

Well, could be, but then they could just make an Ateca ST and manufacture it at the same line in Czech Rep., along with current Ateca and Kodiaq. Moving to Wolfsburg is the most telling thing in this announcement, IMHO.

Also, this new car is supposed to replace Alhambra.
And its shape resembles the new Touareg (see: http://www.caradvice.com.au/535201/2018-volkswagen-touareg-caught-undisguised/).

So, I'm staying with my bet

The best SUVs of 2018 are surprisingly fuel-efficient, too, while ... are on the road, a largeproportion are expected to stay on tarmac, ... With a seven-seat option on SE spec and above, the Kodiaq is a great car in which to be a passenger.
