The SEAT Inca is a panel van, manufactured between 1995 and 2003. It was designed and assembled in Spain by SEAT, S.A., and based upon the SEAT Ibiza Mk2 (which in-turn was based on the Volkswagen Polo Mk3 platform), with which it shared its chassis and front body panels. Its VW stablemate was badge-engineered with the name Volkswagen Caddy, and was identical in every respect apart from some (easily interchangeable) branding logos, and front grille. In the early 2000s, the Volkswagen Group had decided to shift the marketing focus of the SEAT brand to target the younger driver with an emphasis on more sporty models. Despite this move, the VW Caddy and the Inca continued to be produced at the same manufacturing facilities until it was discontinued in June 2003. The Inca name was then dropped from the SEAT line-up, but the Caddy was replaced with a new variant based on the Volkswagen Golf Mk5 platform.
The Inca came with 1.4 60 brake horsepower (45 kW; 61 PS)[1] and 1.6 75 bhp (56 kW; 76 PS)[1] petrol engines, and was also available with the tried-and-tested 64 bhp (48 kW; 65 PS)[1] 1.9 (1896cc) indirect injection diesel engine from the Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Polo, or a 90 bhp (67 kW) Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel[1] in certain countries. A 64 bhp (48 kW; 65 PS) 1.9 Suction Diesel Injection (SDI) direct injection diesel with electronic control, and improved economy over the indirect injection engine was also available from 1999 onwards.
Capable of carrying a payload of 550 kg (1,213 lb) [1] and drawing a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) [1] braked trailer the Inca proved to be a strong work-horse in many markets.
