No manufacturer will reduce it: from 2035, selling thermal vehicles will be strictly prohibited throughout the European Union. A decision officially approved by Brussels, which is apparently not unanimous among manufacturers. Although many are ready for this term, it is not for everyone. And many of them shudder. We are thinking, in particular, about Toyota, but not only, since we are also talking about a European brand. This is Seat, which isn’t too keen on the idea of ​​the end of heat engines in the next few years.

Not yet

There is currently no electric model in the range, and the Mii has been discontinued for some time. Therefore, customers should contact Cupra, which offers Born without analogues in Seat. Is this really a problem? Last but not least for the chief builder, Wayne Griffiths. Because electricity is absolutely not a priority for him, as he tells in an interview with our Caradisiac colleagues. Moreover, the latter does not shrink, claiming that he ” cars with gasoline engines have a future.” According to him, “we are going to sell it for at least 10 years“.

There is no electric compact

The leader also explains his point of view, saying that Seat remains ” joining the Volkswagen group, a brand focused more on young customers“. However, the latter will not be interested in electricity. The boss also closes the door on a competitor to the ID.2all concept, bluntly stating that “there will be no electric Seat Ibiza“. This, at least, leaves no doubt. The manufacturer will still have to act, because now he is losing a lot of money unlike the Cupra which works very well.
