The sporty Ibiza FR was launched alongside the Cupra and Bocanegra in June 2009.
The FR represents the entry level in the high performance range for the Ibiza model and is available for both the 5-door hatchback and the SportCoupe (SC) bodystyles. Initially equipped with Volkswagen’s twin-charged 1.4 TSI petrol engine developing 150 hp, the same output as the 1.8 20VT on the previous version, since January 2010 a new 2.0 TDI engine developing 143 hp joined the FR lineup. With discreet exterior styling, the Ibiza FR is more easily recognizable at the interior, where FR badges and exclusive trim levels give away its sporty ambitions.
