While SEAT sales declined, it remains a cornerstone of our company, as reflected in our recent investments in the brand. We anticipate continued industry challenges in 2026, but we are prepared and firmly committed to our long-term vision. At the same time, this year marks the culmination of our electrification journey, with the start of production of the Electric Urban Car family in Martorell – a decisive step toward shaping the future of mobility.”
