The Seat 1400 is a mid-range car . It was the first Seat vehicle to be manufactured as a CKD kit from November 13, 1953 .

The parts of the car corresponding to the Fiat 1400 were manufactured in Italy, with assembly taking place in Spain. The vehicle was equipped with an in-line four-cylinder petrol engine which developed an output of 44 CUNA PS from a displacement of 1395 cm³ . Its top speed was 116 km / h.

In 1955 it was replaced by the Seat 1400 A and is now completely manufactured in Spain. Analogous to the Fiat 1400 A, the engine output increased to 50 CUNA-PS, whereby the top speed was now given as 125 km / h.
