The SEAT Málaga (sold in some markets as the SEAT Gredos; malaga resembles the Greek word malaka for " or") is a four-door saloon, and was launched in 1985 as a saloon version of the hatchback Ibiza. In fact its underpinnings were based upon those of the SEAT Ronda, a rebadged version of a Fiat Ritmo (of the post-1985 face-lift generation). In this sense the Málaga most closely resembled the Fiat Regata, Fiat's own saloon version of the Ritmo.

The car was spacious and economical, but let down by heavy steering and flimsy build quality. Production ended in 1992, well after the Volkswagen Group took over SEAT. It sold relatively well in Spain, but did poorly in export markets, despite sharing the same System Porsche engines as the Ibiza. Its successor, the Cordoba, was launched at the end of 1993.
