The Seat 132 is a four door rear wheel drive notchback saloon. It shares its body with the Fiat 132, but when launched in May 1973 it was offered with its own engine options: The Seat 132 1600 had a four cylinder 1592 cc engine of 98 bhp. The Seat 132 1800 had a four cylinder 1756 cc engine of 107 bhp. The Seat 132 Diesel featured a two litre 55 bhp Mercedes Benz engine, corresponding to that offered in the Mercedes Benz 200D. This followed the pattern established with the SEAT 1500 which had also been available with a Mercedes Benz diesel engine. From 1979 a Seat 132 2000 became available, with a four cylinder 1930 cc engine of 109 bhp: in due course a larger 2.2 litre four cylinder Mercedes diesel version was also offered. In 1981, when Fiat switched to their new Argenta model, production of the Seat 132 ceased, after approximately 100 000 examples had been produced. No direct replacement in this class has, till now, been offered by the company.
