Seat Ibiza SportCoupe Official Details & Images

Today, VW’s Spanish subsidiary Seat took the wraps off the three-door variant of the new Ibiza that will bear the “SportCoupe” insignia. The production version of the Bocanegra concept is slightly shorter (4.034 vs 4.052 mm) and lower (1.428 vs 1.445 mm) than its 5door sibling while it also features a different C-pillar design. But other than that and despite the promising name, the SportCoupe is practically an Ibiza minus two doors.

In terms of powertrain options, the new Seat Ibiza SportCoupe is equipped with the VW Group’s new seven-speed dual-clutch DSG gearbox on its 105 hp 1.6 version for the first time in this segment. When it goes on sale in Europe this fall, the SportCoupe’s engine range will also include an 80Hp 1.4-liter petrol and 90Hp 1.9-liter diesel units. -Continued

In the near future, Seat will enhance the SportCoupe’s range wuth frugal and ecological ECOMOTIVE variant along with the sporty FR and Cupra versions that will most probably be equipped with the VW Group’s turbocharged 1.4-liter TSI units. The Ibiza SportCoupe will make its public debut at this month's British Motor Show in London.
