025A Overview:
Seat Fura (025A). A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Seat Fura (025A) was produced before the establishment of Euro NCAP (1997) and therefore was not tested. Safety features are rudimentary by modern standards, lacking airbags, ABS, or advanced driver-assistance systems.
