SEAT Bolero (concept)

The SEAT Exeo (Spanish: [eɣˈseo])[1][2][3] is a large family car and flagship model, that was built by the Spanish car manufacturer SEAT, subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group. The Exeo is an Audi A4 (B7) with a redesigned front and rear.

Previously codenamed Bolero, (though not to be confused with SEAT's earlier concept car bearing the same name) and internally designated Typ 3R,[4] the name Exeo derives from the Latin word exire, meaning "to go beyond",[1][2] breaking SEAT's recent tradition to name its cars after Spanish cities.[1]

This car was made available in four-door saloon or five-door estate styles only. Production of the Exeo ended in May 2013, with the final production number being 81,552. There was no direct replacement.
