So to understand Seat's plan (if there is one). Am I right in thinking the Bocanegra hasn't been designed just for the
Ibiza it will be the top line model in each car catorgorie? Seat Exeo Bocanegra, Seat Leon Bocanegra, etc? And all will feature the distinctive looks?
Just a theory at this stage, SEAT have made no formal indication of where they are going with the Bocanegra brand other than this new
Ibiza. But it could be a possible means to introduce a new range topper in the other segments.
Leon Bocanegra would be my expectation if they do go down that route. I can't see the Exeo being developed into an FR or
Cupra at the moment they will be testing the water with the current offerings and the forthcoming Exeo ST (estate).
The reason I ask is who would buy a
Seat Ibiza Cupra when you could have the same engine and better looks with this? The same goes with the new Leon
Cupra. As the
Ibiza Bocanegra also features more sedate engines, again who is going to buy a 3dr
Ibiza Sport/FR when they could have the same engine but improved looks?
Choice and cost no doubt, not everyone will like the styling (though I think the majority might) the
Cupra will not carry the premium of the Bocanegra. I've already spotted that the Bocanegra has SEAT Sport calipers (possibly 4 pot) fitted to it. The
Cupra however does not appear to have them.
