Powered by the VAG group’s punchy twin-charged 1.4-litre engine, and mated to a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox, the SEAT Ibiza Cupra was a rapid entrant into the competitive hot hatch market of the 2010s. The Cupra had more flair than the Polo GTI and more street cred than the Skoda Fabia with which it shared its underpinnings.
