About the SEAT Inca 9K

The SEAT Inca (Typ 9K) was a light commercial vehicle based on the second-generation SEAT Ibiza and Córdoba platform. Produced at the Martorell plant in Spain, it was identical to the Volkswagen Caddy of the same era, differing only in branding and minor trim details. The 1.9 SDI variant featured a naturally aspirated direct-injection diesel engine, prized for its exceptional durability and fuel economy rather than performance. With a payload capacity of 550 kg and asymmetrical rear doors, it became a staple for small businesses across Europe before being discontinued in 2004.
