Frankfurt Show 2009 Highlights: SEAT Ibiza ST Concept
SEAT has put the boot into the Ibiza!
And this concept car – revealed on the eve of the Frankfurt Motor Show – offers a sneak preview of everything drivers can expect from the new model, which is due on sale in 2010.
James Muir, SEAT’s new chief, announced the arrival of the newcomer – christened the SEAT Concept IBZ.
This production version, likely to be called the Seat Ibiza ST, or Sports Tourer, will offer a similar engine line-up to the five-door hatch and three-door SportCoupe. That includes a 105bhp 1.9 TDI diesel, plus 105bhp 1.6, 85bhp 1.4 and 70bhp 1.2-litre petrol units.
The unveiling of the attractive ST is, however, not SEAT's first entry into the supermini estate segment: it follows in the wheeltracks of the VW Polo-based SEAT Cordoba Vario, which arrived in showrooms back in 1998.
This time around, the compact estate promises plenty of style, comfort and practicality, thanks to the creative efforts of SEAT design chief Luc Donckerwolke.
