Paris - Seat will launch two additions to the new Ibiza generation with the sporty Cupra and the low-emission Ibiza Ecomotive at the Paris Motor Show next month.

The Cupra comes with the Volkswagen 1.4 TSI engine and seven-speed DSG sequential-shift gearbox with paddel-shifts mounted to the steering wheel.

The Ibiza Ecomotive, available as a five-door and Sport Coupe version, is powered by an 80 hp 1.4-litre TDI engine with the car maker listing fuel consumption at just 3.8 litres per 100 kilometres and a carbon dioxide emission figure of 99 g/km.

Eye-catching exterior design elements of the Cupra are the arrow-design bumpers, larger air intakes and the larger 17-inch alloy wheels.

Standard safety equipment includes ABS brakes, TCS traction control with EBA electronic brake assist, ESP, driver and passenger front and side airbags.

Additional options are sports seats, aluminium pedals, twin chrome headlights, fog lamps with cornering function and an "easy entry" system on the passenger seat for those seated in the rear. (dpa)
