SEAT debuts IBIZA FR TurboDiesel
SEAT is kicking off 2010 with a bang as it has unveiled the Ibiza FR TDi. The oil burner will be available as a sporty SC or practical 5dr bodystyles with prices starting at just £16,465 RRP.
SEAT has confirmed that orders can be taken for the car now with deliveries expected to kick off in March in the UK.
The new car’s turbocharged diesel engine is good for a muscular 143 PS – that means it can get from a standing start to 62 mph in only 8.2 seconds (8.3 seconds 5dr) and it has a top speed of 130 mph where legal (129 mph 5dr).
But it is not just the performance figures that are good, the maker claims the car will return 62.7 mpg on the EU’s official combined cycle and the car records an official CO2 figure of just 119 g/km, making it a good choice for company car drivers who enjoy a sporty car.
Standard specification in the newcomer includes climate control, ESP with SEAT’s clever new XDS electronic ‘virtual’ limited slip differential and, of course, exclusive FR detailing inside and out.
