The new Seat Ibiza Cupra is finally official

The new Seat Ibiza Cupra is finally official. Basically a formality because the changes we saw already arrive and are also hardly radical. The market launch is planned in February 2013.

 The 't put new CUPRA version follows nine months after the refreshed Seat Ibiza and the slightly later presented Ibiza FR. The visual changes to the top-we saw so long and wide arrive. A slimmer grille, redesigned Bi-Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights tough looking, different bumpers and fresh-cut 17-inch aluminum wheels. These are the main innovations on the front. At the back is now also LED technology to find and optical diffuser has become racier. The central exhaust remained.

Interior
Inside the Cupra traditionally treats on a leather sports steering wheel, sports seats accentuated whose clothing is new and of course a range CUPRA logo. The portable navigation system we saw previously and is naturally spilled over from the underprivileged Ibiza’s we could welcome nine months ago. The SEAT Portable System is also known outside the car to use and also serves as a comprehensive onboard computer.

6.9 seconds
Technically, nothing changes. The 180 hp and 250 Nm strong 1.4 liter TSI engine is still only linked to a 7-speed DSG dual clutch and the XDS electronic differential is standard. Acceleration to 100 km / h takes 6.9 seconds and the top speed is set at 229 km / h.
