Seat Ibiza ST estate 2010 First Look

This is SEAT new compact and Housing, the Ibiza ST. He will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2010, the sales start in the summer.
It’s all about the Space “- presumably the Seat Ibiza ST has a bigger boat?

Of course. The ST is 18cm longer than the normal Ibiza hatch, so there are 430 liters cargo volume, from 292 liters. It is not a game for the Clio Grand Tour (439), or seats in-house rival Skoda Fabia Combi (480), but folding the split rear seats do not free some additional space.

The ST is the third model in the Ibiza series – after the regular three-door hatch, SC – as the front end remains the same, but there is a higher roofline and a longer rear overhang. Under the hood there is a choice of six engines (three petrol and three diesel), two of which are new in Ibiza: a 1.2 TDI and 1.2 TSI.

2009 Seat Exeo Weekly Review

Since Seat has committed to growing its sales volumes across Europe, and needs a model in the upper Mid segment. It may be a market in decline, but it is still the third largest market sector and accounts for 17% of sales.

As it needed a challenger toute suite, it simply borrowed the old A4 production line, shipped it from Ingolstadt to Martorell, and began production. Of course, having ex-Audi top man Eric Schmitt as the new Seat president helps. And as Seat wants a quality offering, going to the acknowledged leaders in terms of build quality makes this decision something of a no-brainer.
The familiar solid ride quality is there, trying to find a trade off between comfort and secure handling. Like the Audi, the 2009 Seat Exeo veers towards stiffness (and veers towards uncomfortable in Sport specification with 18-inch wheels and revised suspension), but the new Servo-tronic power steering is a welcome addition, adding plenty of weight into the rack to give more precision.

When it goes on sale in the UK, there will be three engine options for 2009 Seat Exeo – 2.0-litre TDI diesels with 143 and 170bhp (both the new common rail units) and a 200 bhp 2.0 litre TSI petrol unit borrowed from the Golf GTI.

Only 170bhp diesel was available to drive on Seat Exeo, accessing power from right down at the bottom of the rev range and surging you forward with ease. It’s a little bit gruff at start-up, but on the move settles down into a muted accompaniment.
