Volkswagen-owned Spanish brand Seat is making a comeback after an absence of more than 10 years, reported The Straits Times. 

Vertex Automobile, the distributor of China's Chery, has clinched the franchise and is expected to start selling Seat cars here from July. It is understood that Seat will operate out of Chery's showroom at 3 Ubi Road 4. Chery will move to another location.

An entire range of models will be available, ranging from subcompacts to hot hatches to wagons, crossovers and MPVs.

Seat was last represented by taxi operator Comfort Group (before its merger with DelGro). When Comfort quit the motor business in 2003, Seat was the only brand not picked up by another agency. Other brands which Comfort held - such as Maserati, Peugeot and Perodua - have found new representatives.
