At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Seat unveiled the Tribu concept, it was announced that this three-door SUV model offered a preview of upcoming models, therefore it didn't take an Einstein to work out Seat were developing their first SUV. The full confirmation of the production model was exclusively revealed by WCF earlier this summer when we reported on the brand's roll out schedule up until 2012.
Ever since this report we have been patiently waiting for our spies to send us the first shots of a prototype on the streets, but it appears we don't need them any more. The EU Trademark office has struck again after these low resolution designs of the Tribu leaked out revealing the basic design of the model.
The design of the front fascia very much mimics the concept version, it features the signature Seat grille along with large air vents directly below the headlights and on the bumper. The rear takes a large step away from the concept's extravagant styling with a toned down production type style. We can also state that the Tribu will come as a five-door when it is launched in 2010, rather than as a three-door as seen on the concept.
