This Ibiza was the test bed: the first Volkswagen Group car built on the MQB A0 platform, ahead of the Polo.
The 6J Ibiza Cupra squeezed 180 PS from 1.4 litres by using a turbocharger and a supercharger together, paired with a seven-speed DSG.
The budget-brand Ibiza beat Volkswagen and Audi to the punch: this generation was first in the VW Group to ride on the new PQ25 supermini platform.
The 6L Ibiza Cupra filled a gap in the VW family: its Polo sibling had no hot hatch until the Polo GTI arrived in 2006.
VW didn't launch a Polo GTI until 2006 — so for years, SEAT's Ibiza FR and Cupra were the only Group hot hatches on this platform, and What Car? called the Ibiza its 2003 Car of the Year.
The first Ibiza Cupra borrowed its 2.0-litre 16-valve ABF engine from the third-generation Golf GTI.
The 90s Ibiza wasn't as unique inside as it looked — its dashboard was shared wholesale with the SEAT Córdoba, SEAT Inca, and Volkswagen Polo Mk3.
Porsche engineered the Mk1 Ibiza's gearbox and powertrain — but SEAT still had to pay Porsche seven German marks per car before it was allowed to stamp "System Porsche" on the engine.
