The Toledo was a small family car built by the Spanish brand SEAT, a brand owned by Volkswagen Group. Based on the Volkswagen Golf MK2 platform, the Toledo received an update in 1995 and it brought small updates to the look but major improvements for the engine lineup.

On the exterior, the 1995 Toledo featured a new grille design, with a body-colored surrounding. The headlights were slightly reshaped by rounding-up their edges. A new bumper with a wider grille was introduced. In the back, the taillights and the bumper received a new design.

Since it was based on the old A2 platform, there was limited room for the rear passengers. The wheelbase was only 2.47 m (97.2”) and four average-sized adults were at the limit with the legroom. For the front occupants, the seats were flat and simple. Only some of the versions were fitted with bucket seats and better bolstering. The dashboard design featured a curved upper side that went over the instrument cluster and ran over the center stack as well. A stereo cassette player was installed under the central vents. For the side passenger, there was an option for an airbag, instead of a bigger glove-box.

The entire engine lineup was changed due to new pollution regulations. A new, sportier version, was fitted with an inline-four, 2.0-liter unit that offered 150 hp. The sportiest, non-facelifted, version of the Toledo offered only 133 hp. The diesel range was expanded from two to five units, ranged between 63 hp and 110 hp.
