Car set for Beijing motor show reveal; first pictures leak on to internet

The first pictures of the Seat Ibiza Cupra, which is due to be unveiled at the Beijing motor show, have leaked on to the internet.

The launch of the car follows the mid-life facelift given to the rest of the Seat Ibiza range earlier this year. As with those cars, the styling of the Ibiza Cupra has been tweaked.

It has not been announced if the car has any engine upgrades, but it is likely the car will continue to be sold with the same 178bhp 1.4 TSI engine, mated to a seven-speed DSG gearbox.

Ah, found a cabin pic (thanks, Evo). Rejoice - it's a 'plastiminium'-free zone!

Indeed. And it looks much more interesting compared to the rest of the (bland) facelift Ibizas. But, it's curious that SEAT seems reluctant to allow any cabin pics to be 'leaked'...
