SEAT Ibiza nameplate was launched in 1984, but the car featured here represents the fourth generation of the Spanish model, with facelift. This SEAT Ibiza is made on the same platform as Volkswagen Polo and Skoda Fabia of its time. This particular car is very new, with less than 500 km on the clock, and it is powered by a 1.0-litre TSI engine with three cylinders and turbocharger. The FR badge designates the top trim level, just below the CUPRA high-performance variant. SEAT Ibiza FR 1.0 TSI is characterised by driving fun, good performance, and sporty design (exterior and interior).
