Seat will badge the three-door version of the new Ibiza as Sport Coupe when it goes on sale in the UK in early 2009.

The three-door Ibiza is 17mm lower than its five-door sibling. Prices and specification will be revealed nearer the car’s on-sale date, however, Seat has announced the line-up will include a 105PS 1.6-litre petrol version fitted with owner-VW‘s new seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox.
