This is basically the next-generation Ibiza, SEAT’s answer to the Ford Fiesta, Fiat Grande Punto, and Opel Corsa. SEAT’s brand positioning is sportier than most of its competitors, and the Bocanegra’s blacked-out front end looks as if it could swallow enough air to feed, say, an Audi V-12 TDI. But since that would go beyond the scope of the brand, the Bocanegra is powered by a far smaller engine: VW’s 1.4-liter four-cylinder TSI (direct-injection) twin-turbocharged engine mated to the recently introduced seven-speed “dry” dual-clutch transmission.

The Q5 will ride on the A4/S5’s longitudinal-engine, “transmission-forward” platform. Concept engine is a 240-horsepower, 369 pound-foot longitudinally mounted six-cylinder turbodiesel with an ultra-low emission system that Audi says will meet the European Union’s 2014 standards. U.S.-spec Q5s will probably launch with the 3.2-liter V-6.
The Cross Cab is shown with a full-time quattro system and electronic ride adjustment. At 181.2 inches long and 75.2 inches wide, it’s about the size of the A5/S5 coupe.
Overall height of the concept is 64.2 inches, on the low side of small crossover ride heights. Gee-whiz features include Google Earth software for the navigation system, which has a high-resolution display and 3-dimensional maps. It comes with an internet connection so that drivers can tune in on traffic, weather and air-quality information.
