As SEAT progresses with the WLTP transition, the following type approval timings will apply:

Passenger vehicles (M type and Category N1 (i)):

•     From September 2017, all new model introductions will be subject to WLTP type approval and Real Driving Emissions (RDE) testing
•     From September 2018, all new sales will have received type approval under WLTP
•     From September 2019, all new registrations were subject to RDE testing

Light Commercial Vehicles (Categories N1 (ii), N1 (iii) and N2):

•     From September 2018, all new Light Commercial vehicle model introductions were subject to WLTP type approval and Real Driving Emissions (RDE) testing

WLTP figures are now available for customers. NEDC CO₂ values derived from the WLTP test were used for taxation for the tax years 2017/2018; 2018/2019 and 2019/2020. It is only for new cars registered after 1st April 2020 (6^th April for CO2), that the WLTP values will be used for taxation purposes.
