Chronology
Successor	SEAT Exeo

The SEAT Bolero 330 BT was a

Geneva Salon International de l’Auto.^[1] It was available as a four-door, four seat saloon car body style. The "330 BT" is derived from the power output of 330 PS.^[2] No five door, four seat estate car body style

is ever produced.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this concept consists in the elimination of the

sliding doors

.

The design of the car was a four-door

sliding doors (four door, front engine).^[3]

Another interesting issue is that the design of the SEAT Bolero incorporated many stylistic elements that would later be implemented in other models of the brand, especially in the front fascia.[4] During development, the SEAT Exeo was codenamed Bolero, before being renamed Exeo.^[5]^[6] ^{[failed verification]}

tiptronic automatic transmission, with the output being routed through a conventional front-wheel drive
