The SEAT 132 is a four door, rear wheel drive notchback saloon produced by SEAT from 1973 to 1982, as a rebadged version of the Fiat 132. It was presented for the first time at the Barcelona Motor Show, and was assembled in Barcelona's Zona Franca in Catalonia, Spain.

For the important taxi market, the 132 filled the niche, vacated with the withdrawal in 1970, of the diesel engined SEAT 1500, the 132 being usefully larger than the SEAT 124, which was SEAT's largest model during the beginning of the 1970s.

SEAT's new car shared its body with the Fiat 132, but when launched in May 1973 it featured its own engine options:

:* The SEAT 132 1600 had a four cylinder 1592 cc engine of {{convert|98|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} .

:* The SEAT 132 1800 had a four cylinder 1756 cc engine of {{convert|107|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} .

:* The SEAT 132 Diesel featured a two litre {{convert|55|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} Mercedes Benz engine, corresponding to that offered in the Mercedes Benz 200D. This followed the pattern established with the SEAT 1500, which had also been available with a diesel engine from Mercedes Benz.

In 1976, an automatic transmission option was offered, which may have been a response to the success in Spain of the locally assembled, and similarly enhanced Chrysler Two Litre.{{cite journal|journal =Autocar |volume = 144 (nbr 4147) | authorlink =Jeffrey Daniels (Peter Garnier - Ed)|title =A new force emerging: Barcelona show|pages = 25–26| date = 1 May 1976}} From 1979, the SEAT 132 2000 became available, with one four cylinder 1920 cc engine of {{convert|109|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}}: in due course, one larger 2.2 litre, four cylinder Mercedes diesel version was also offered.

In the beginning of the 1980s, extensive discussions concerning funding and control took place between the major share holder, the Government of Spain, and Fiat: SEAT needed major capital investment, which Fiat was not prepared to inject. The outcome, by 1982, was an end after nearly thirty years, to the relationship with Fiat.

Already in 1981, Fiat having by now switched to their new model, the Argenta, production of the SEAT 132 ceased, after approximately 100,000 examples had been produced. No direct replacement in this class was, up until 2009, offered by the company. The SEAT Exeo could be seen as the belated replacement, however.
