Detailed analysis of the SEAT Ibiza SportCoupé Reference 1.2 TDI CR 75 CV DPF (2010-2012)
General description
The SEAT Ibiza SportCoupé Reference 1.2 TDI CR 75 HP, manufactured between 2010 and 2012, is presented as a compact and efficient option within the utility vehicle segment. With its three-door body, this model seeks to combine a youthful design with very tight fuel consumption, ideal for urban driving and interurban journeys. Its small-displacement diesel engine promises economy without sacrificing adequate response for everyday use.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Ibiza SportCoupé, the sensation is one of agility and ease of handling. The 1.2 TDI engine, although not a powerhouse, delivers its 75 HP progressively, with a torque of 180 Nm available from low revolutions (1500 rpm) which facilitates overtakes and recovery in high gears. The electro-hydraulic steering offers good assistance, making city maneuvers simple. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and torsional axle at the rear, provides a balance between comfort and stability, absorbing road irregularities well without sacrificing the feeling of control. The 5-speed manual gearbox is precise and has short throws, contributing to a pleasant and efficient driving experience. Its low consumption of 3.8 l/100km in combined cycle is, without a doubt, one of its strong points, allowing long journeys with few stops at the gas station.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Ibiza SportCoupé is one of its greatest attractions. With its 4034 mm length, 1693 mm width, and 1428 mm height, it presents compact and dynamic proportions. The three-door body gives it a sportier and more youthful appearance than the five-door version. The sharp lines and expressive headlights give it a distinctive personality. Inside, although the Reference trim is the most basic, the design is functional and ergonomic, with materials that, without being luxurious, fulfill their function and offer a good sense of solidity. The trunk, with 284 liters, is sufficient for daily use, although it may be tight for long trips with a lot of luggage.
Technology and features
In the technological section, the Ibiza SportCoupé Reference 1.2 TDI CR from 2010-2012 focuses on efficiency and functionality. Its 1.2-liter diesel engine with common rail direct injection, turbo, and intercooler, is an example of engineering oriented towards low consumption and low emissions (99 g/km of CO2). It complies with Euro 5 regulations and has an environmental label B. Although it does not incorporate the latest innovations in infotainment or driving assistants that we see today, it does offer the essentials for a safe and comfortable driving experience. The electro-hydraulic power steering is a good compromise between feel and ease of use. The ventilated front disc brakes and rear drum brakes are adequate for its weight and performance.
Competition
In the competitive segment of three-door diesel utility vehicles, the SEAT Ibiza SportCoupé faced tough rivals such as the Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TDI, the Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi, the Renault Clio 1.5 dCi, or the Peugeot 207 1.4 HDi. Compared to them, the Ibiza stood out for its sportier and more youthful design, its good balance between comfort and agility, and exceptionally low fuel consumption. Although some rivals could offer an interior with slightly superior finishes or a wider range of equipment, the Ibiza positioned itself as a very attractive option due to its value for money and efficiency.
Conclusion
The SEAT Ibiza SportCoupé Reference 1.2 TDI CR 75 HP is a car that, despite its modest engine, offers a satisfactory and, above all, very economical driving experience. Its attractive design, its agility in the city, and its very low consumption make it an ideal option for those looking for a practical, efficient, and youthful vehicle. It is an honest car, which delivers on its promises and, despite its age, remains an interesting option in the used car market for those who prioritize economy of use and a compact size.
