Seat IBL Concept
As you may know already, Seat unveiled last week the facelifted version of the Exeo, which means that the Spanish company owned by Volkswagen Group is ready to replace this model with a brand new one, hopefully not inspired by the Audi A4. The new Seat IBL Concept previews the new model and according to the Spanish firm it combines a clean, minimalist exterior with an innovative, premium interior that clearly conveys its quality and precision.
The vehicle has a total length of 4.67 metres and a generous wheelbase of 2.71 metres. Although it looks like a sedan, Seat says that the IBL is a “crossover in the very best sense of the word – it combines the elegance, spaciousness and utility of a classic saloon with the athletic look and dynamic line of a powerful sports coupé”. The design is quite impressive, but we do know that we will not see a car like this on the streets, but we do hope to see several design elements on the production version.
James Muir, President of SEAT, S.A. said: ‘The IBL shows that sports saloons within the SEAT brand portfolio will play an important role in future. However, this concept car does not pre-empt a specific model, but rather shows the design philosophy we are applying to bring the unmistakable SEAT identity to a saloon car, too.’
