2009 Seat Ibiza Scooped

These are the first spy shots of Seat’s upcoming Ibiza hatch which should logically be introduced at the Geneva Show next March. Sharing common underpinnings with the second-generation Skoda Fabia, the new Ibiza looks like it has grown in dimensions compared with the current model. While the pictures aren’t exactly crystal clear, we can see that the Ibiza’s designers have favored a family look, taking several cues from the larger Leon. As for the engine range, VW is preparing a new generation of 1.2-litre turbocharged engines which will substitute the current 1.4-litre normally aspirated petrol units in late 2008 or early 2009. At a later date Seat will enhance the range with the sporty versions, “FR” (1.4-litre turbo, 150Hp), and the “Cupra”(1,8-liter turbo, 170+Hp). -Continued after the jump
