Car Moon

Our second revelation from Seat’s future portfolio after the discovery of the design photos of the Audi A4 (B7) based Exeo Sedan and Station Wagon (see here) comes in the form of the production version of the Tribu SUV concept. Just as in the case of the Exeo, these design images were registered by Seat at the trademark office so there’s question about their authenticity. The Spanish carmaker’s first ever SUV will be heavily based on the Volkswagen Tiguan so expect the same powertrain options including 1.4 and 2.0 TSI gasoline and 2.0 TDI turbo diesel engines.

The compact SUV largely follows the same styling as the Tribu 3door concept that was revealed at last year’s Frankfurt Show and although it will be initially launched as a five-door, we wouldn’t completely rule out a three-door version in the near future. When it goes on sale in Europe during the first-half of 2010, the production version of the Tribu will compete against the likes of the Honda CR-V, Renault Koleos, Opel Antara and Toyota RAV-4. –More photos after the jump
