Seat has just unveiled its first-ever 4x4 at the Geneva Motor Show, and it's based on the recently-launched Altea XL. Basically, the Freetrack Prototype is an Altea with an extra 185mm of height, butch-looking plastic add-ons and the four-wheel-drive system from the VW Golf 4Motion.
It uses the VW group's familiar 2.0-litre 140bhp TDI engine and, being as Seat show cars named Prototype have a habit of appearing in showrooms, should be on sale by the end of this year. We doubt that the Freetrack's distinctive four-seat cabin will make production though. It will more likely use the standard Altea interior.
One thing though; does the appearance of the Altea Freetrack mean that there won't be a Seat version of VW's new Tiguan SUV?
