Three years after introducing the Cordoba station wagon model, the Spanish carmaker unveiled the entire range's facelifted version.
While the station wagon version didn't need a refresh after just three years, the rest of the range did since it was already six years old. When SEAT launched the Cordoba range in 1993, it didn't have enough money to build a complete range, so it had to wait another three years to introduce its small-segment station wagon. By the time it launched, its look was already old, and the 1999 refresh fixed that.
The 1999 model featured softer edges and some curved lines over the bodywork. Its headlights sported a curve on their upper side, while its predecessor featured rectangular ones. In search of its brand image, the carmaker introduced a new badge at the front, surrounded by a body-colored surrounding. The bumper was new and featured squared fog lights instead of the round ones. SEAT introduced the body-colored door handles, upgrading the side-view look. In the back, the carmaker changed the bumper and added a black rubber band.
Inside, the carmaker introduced a completely new dashboard with better integration for the ventilation system and smooth vents on top of the center stack. Inside the instrument cluster, SEAT adopted Volkswagen's style for the dials, with the temperature and fuel gauges installed in the middle and panel's upper side.
SEAT offered the Cordoba with a choice of seven engines, both gasoline, and diesel, ranged between 68 hp and 110 hp. All engines were paired with a five-speed manual.
