谍照记者在奥地利阿尔卑斯山拍到了正在进行底盘测试的2016款西亚特跨界车照片。该车将于2016年上市，其造型风格预计将与IBX概念车很接近。这款车为了掩人耳目采用了加长后的Leon车身，它的内部也与Leon共享大众的MQB平台。不过，这款跨界车与Leon的车身尺寸不同，同时也将增加动力更强劲的Cupra版本。西亚特设计总监Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos已经宣布该车的最终设计已经完成，他表示，“这对于西亚特来说是一大进步，这款车更像是Leon的大哥。”该车将由斯柯达在捷克投产，很有可能会在明年的法兰克福车展亮相，随后将于明年初上市。

2016 SEAT crossover mule spied in the Alps

A chassis testing mule of the 2016 SEAT crossover has been spied once again undergoing testing in the Austrian Alps.

Spanish marque SEAT is cooking up its first ever crossover which has been confirmed for a 2016 launch and will likely take styling cues from the IBX concept. Seen here is a chassis testing mule wearing a fully camouflaged Leon body stretching out in the beautiful scenery provided by the Austrian Alps. Set to use the MQB platform from the Leon, Seat will adopt a different designation for the crossover which is also bound to get a more powerful Cupra variant.

SEAT design chief Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos has already announced the vehicle's final design has been completed and will be "a big step for SEAT - the car is like a big brother to the Leon." The crossover will actually be produced in Czech Republic by sister brand Skoda and will likely be shown in production guise at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show scheduled for next September, with sales commencing early 2016.
