Seat Ibiza Cupra after facelift

Although we have known the shape of the modernized Seat Ibiza for several months, the top version was still waiting. Of course, that should change as well, because the Ibiza will be presented in the top-of-the- line Cupra version at the Beijing International Auto Show .

The Spanish equivalent of the Czech Skoda Fabia RS has a new radiator grille, a front bumper with a large air intake and fog lights. The rear part is certainly dominated by the diffuser with the centrally located end of the sports exhaust system. Inside the car, we can enjoy the view of sports seats and a sporty leather steering wheel stitched with contrasting thread.

And as in the case of the fast Skoda , the heart of the whole car will be a twin-turbo four-cylinder with a displacement of 1.4 liters and an output of 134 kW (180 hp) connected to the wheels of the front axle through a seven-speed DSG gearbox. Given the rather cosmetic changes, we can expect similar numbers as in the current version. So acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds and a maximum speed of 225 kilometers per hour.
