Since Griffths joined SEAT in 2016, the company’s sales have enhanced by much more than 40 per cent thanks in no little part to the launch of the brand’s SUV line-up. Griffths played a function in the development of the Cupra brand, along with former CEO Luca De Meo.
SEAT just recently announced a five billion euro investment over the next five years, the very first phase of that will see five plug-in hybrid as well as electric cars launch in the next 12 months.
