西亚特将很快推出一款紧凑型跨界车，最近谍照记者首次拍到了量产版照片。这表明车厂希望能最大限度保持该车的秘密，因此选择在夜间进行测试，而且车身进行了重度伪装。虽然无法看清细节，但车身整体线条扔可看出。令人惊讶的是，该车的车身位置很低。除非悬挂获得升级，否则该车将成为同级车型中越野能力最低的跨界车。这款基于伊比萨的紧凑型跨界车在西亚特家族中的定位低于Ateca。不仅如此，该车设计风格也取自新一代伊比萨，后者将在明年日内瓦车展亮相。而这款车将在明年的法兰克福车展亮相。这款车采用了缩短后的大众MQB平台，标配前轮驱动，但据传搭载动力更强引擎的车型可选装全轮驱动系统。未来，车厂还将增加Cupra运动版车型。

Seat compact crossover spied for the first time

Seat confirms that it has a compact crossover on the imminent horizon, and these spy shots are our first chance to see the production version’s development. The company clearly wants to keep the design a secret for now because the small CUV is testing at night and under heavy camouflage.

The obfuscation makes it very difficult to discern anything but the model’s general outline. It’s surprising that the Seat appears to sit rather low in these spy shots. Unless the suspension gets a boost, the model would only be ready for the very lightest off-roading – that’s the case for most vehicles in this segment, though.

Based on the Ibiza, Seat’s compact crossover would sit below the Ateca in the brand’s lineup. We also expect the CUV to take design cues from the new Ibiza, which could arrive at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. This model would arrive on the scene a few months later, possibly at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The Seat compact CUV uses the short version of Volkswagen Group’s MQB platform. Front-wheel drive would be standard, but rumors suggest the more powerful engines might have all-wheel drive as an option. There could even be a sporty Cupra trim for the little crossover in the future. We hope next time Seat tests it, the engineers give us a better look.
