It has been more than three years since SEAT present the Tribe in Frankfurt. His proposal fell SUV at the gates of the assembly line, caught in a crisis that left the manufacturer's Martorell output without delay finalizing its development while the Audi Q3. Today, from the ashes of the concept in 2007, has been reborn in Geneva under the name of IBX, looking totally in keeping with the current (and future) SEAT style.

One of the most striking features of this crossover of 4.26 meters is an impressive size. It is not really bigger than a ST Ibiza, but the large size of the doors and the veins of the body (not to mention his 1.80 meters wide and a height of 1.62) seem to push it to the upper segment, As happened with the equally misleading IBE family. In person, as official photographs, conveys a sense of familiarity; deny his resemblance to the Ford Kuga would be foolish, but the fact remains that person has a je ne sais quoi purely SEAT.

After the IBE was an evocation of the future Leon, Seat has the IBX in Geneva. This compact SUV is somehow the Tiguan or Spanish Q3, its design being for once in the vein of the IBE, it portends a specific model and not a single rebadgeage for the series model.

The VW Sharan's Spanish sibling is now more worthy of the “multi-purpose” label as SEAT has presented a new variant with a permanent all-wheel drive system for the Alhambra. The new model benefits from the latest-generation of VW's 4x4 system, electronically controlled and set up for improved driving dynamics.
According to SEAT, the system has been tuned to offer “a surprising level of sporty driving fun”. The all-wheel drive system is operated by a multi-plate clutch that sends the juice to the axle that needs it the most. In the event that the front wheels slip, an electrically driven annular piston pump builds up the oil pressure necessary for the clutch to divert a large proportion of the driving force to the rear wheels. 

The 4WD option will be offered in conjunction with the most powerful diesel engine available, the 2.0-liter TDI which develops 140 horsepower. Linked to a six-speed manual transmission, the oil-burner pushes the Alhambra to a top speed of 191 km/h (118 mph). The standard 0 to 100 km/h sprint takes a decent 11.4 seconds and average fuel consumption is rated at 6.0 liters/100 km (equal to 39.2 US mpg).
The low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of 158 grams per km are also due to the Ecomotive package, which includes a brake energy regeneration and an automatic start/stop system.
The SEAT Alhambra 4WD will be available for sale starting this summer, in the Reference and Style versions with interiors configured with 5 seats. Towards the end of the year, the all-wheel drive MPV will also have a 2+2+2 seating arrangement.

Following on from our preview of Seat's latest IBE Concept model, we now have live pictures of the compact sports coupe from the 2010 Paris Motor Show. Improvements over the first IBE Concept, which was shown in Geneva earlier this year, include refinements to the design and technology, while the Paris Show car now also sports an interior.

Measuring in at just 3.83 meters (12.5 ft) in length, the IBE Paris is smaller than Volkswagen's Scirocco. Utilizing a 75 kw (102 hp) electric drive system, the concept is good for 130 km (81 miles) on a single charge. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 60 mph) can be achieved in 9.7 seconds

"The IBE shows SEAT's vision for a car of the future that is as emotional as it is ecologically responsible and affordable," said Seat's design boss of former Lamborghini fame, Luc Donckerwolke.

"The IBE is a concentrated version of our design DNA. Both exterior and interior are characterised by their focus on key elements, by a clear and precise architecture, by modern technology and by materials that are as high-quality as they are ecological."
