The SEAT Proto C was presented at the 1990Paris Motor Show as the preview of the 1993SEAT Ibiza Mark II, which was also under development at the time by Italdesign. The designation of C in its name was referencing its likely positioning in theC Segment, with one mix of the spacious monovolume body size and the hatchback configuration.[5][6]
The predominant characteristic was its rounded shape compared to the 1984SEAT Ibiza Mark I, which was also styled by Italdesign, and the large glass surfaces that extended to the roof and the side windows. This three-door prototype had thedrag coefficient of 0.25 and was based on aVolkswagen Group platform.[7]
