Detailed analysis of the SEAT Ibiza SportCoupé Reference 1.2 TDI 75 CV DPF (2010)
General description
The SEAT Ibiza SportCoupé Reference 1.2 TDI 75 HP, launched in 2010, is presented as a compact and efficient option within the utility vehicle segment. Priced at €13,100, this model aimed to attract a young audience who valued sporty design and adjusted consumption. Its three-cylinder 1,199 cc diesel engine, along with a 5-speed manual gearbox, promised an agile and economical driving experience, ideal for daily urban use and occasional getaways.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Ibiza SportCoupé, the sensation is one of agility and ease of handling. Its 75 HP, although not a dazzling figure, is well managed thanks to a torque of 180 Nm available from 1,500 rpm, which gives it a decent response in the city. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 13.9 seconds and a top speed of 165 km/h place it in the average for its category. The McPherson front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension, along with ventilated front disc brakes and rear disc brakes, offer a good balance between comfort and stability. The steering, although its type is not specified, contributes to a predictable and safe driving experience. The combined consumption of 3.8 l/100km is undoubtedly one of its strong points, allowing long journeys with low fuel costs.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the SEAT Ibiza SportCoupé is one of its greatest attractions. With a 3-door body, its lines are dynamic and youthful, reflecting the sporty spirit that SEAT wanted to imprint on this model. Its compact dimensions (4034 mm long, 1693 mm wide and 1428 mm high) give it an agile and urban presence. The wheelbase of 2469 mm contributes to good habitability for its size, although the rear seats may be a bit tight for adults on long journeys. The 284-liter trunk is sufficient for daily use, but may be too small for large loads. In general, the design is modern and attractive, with an aesthetic that has aged quite well.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2010 Ibiza SportCoupé Reference focuses on efficiency and functionality. Its 75 HP 1.2 TDI engine incorporates common rail direct injection, turbo and intercooler, technologies that optimize performance and reduce consumption. The absence of a Start/Stop system is a feature to take into account, as more modern models already incorporated it. The 5-speed manual transmission is simple and effective. Inside, although the Reference version is the most basic, it is expected to have the essential elements for comfort and safety, such as power steering and a basic audio system. The environmental label B, with CO2 emissions of 99 g/km, positions it as a relatively clean vehicle for its time.
Competition
In the competitive segment of 3-door utility vehicles, the SEAT Ibiza SportCoupé faced tough rivals such as the Volkswagen Polo, Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio and Peugeot 207. Compared to them, the Ibiza stood out for its sportier and more youthful design, its good balance between performance and consumption, and a competitive price. The 1.2 TDI engine offered a very efficient diesel alternative, although some rivals could offer more powerful engines or more complete equipment in their higher versions. Its value for money and its aesthetics made it an attractive option for those looking for a car with character and low maintenance costs.
Conclusion
The SEAT Ibiza SportCoupé Reference 1.2 TDI 75 HP is a car that, despite its age, remains an interesting option for those looking for a compact, economical utility vehicle with a sporty touch. Its attractive design, low fuel consumption and agile driving make it ideal for the urban environment. Although its performance is not the highest, it more than meets the needs for daily use. It is an honest car, without great luxuries, but which offers a satisfactory driving experience and low maintenance costs. A sensible choice for those who value efficiency and style in a compact format.
