The SEAT Exeo (pronounced 'ex-AY-o') was a compact executive car, and flagship model, built by the Spanish car manufacturer SEAT, subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group.Previously codenamed Bolero (though not to be confused with SEAT's earlier concept car bearing the same name) and internally designated Typ 3R, the name Exeo derives from the Latin word exire, meaning "to go beyond", breaking SEAT's recent tradition to name its cars after Spanish cities.
