The first-generation Córdoba was presented at the 1993Frankfurt Motor Show and launched that summer. Designed by ItalianGiorgetto Giugiaro, it was based on the chassis of the SEAT Ibiza Mk2. Its 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0-litre petrol engines were also found in the Volkswagen Polo and Ibiza, as was the 1.9TDI.[citation needed]
The vehicle featured a boot space of 455 litres (16.1 cu ft), which could be extended up to 762 litres (26.9 cu ft) by folding rear seats.[5]
In 1996, the Córdoba range was extended with acoupé (Córdoba SX) and anestate (Córdoba Vario).[6]
The Córdoba SX was a two-door coupé version of the Córdoba. It came with five engine variants: 1.6 litre 100 PS (74 kW); 1.9 litreturbodiesel; 1.8 litre, 16 valve; 2.0 litre, 8 valve (which was also used in the Córdoba GTi); and a 2.0 litre, 16 valve.[6] The top of the range engine delivers 150 PS (110 kW). The2.0 litre ABF engine in this model was also used in the third-generationGolf GTi and the firstIbiza Cupra.[citation needed]

The Córdoba was facelifted in 1999, with changes focusing on the bumpers, headlights, taillights and front grille,[6] as well as in the interior, with new materials and upholstery.[citation needed] In the engine range, the 16-valve ABF engine was replaced with a 1.8-litre 156 PS (115 kW) turbocharged, 20-valve engine and joined the Cupra range.[6]
The SX was no longer available in theUnited Kingdom, and limited numbers are known to exist in theRepublic of Ireland inRHD format.[clarification needed] The "Córdoba Vario" estate variant dropped the "Cordóba" and became simply the "Vario".[citation needed]
TheCórdoba WRC was SEAT's rally car in theWorld Rally Championship from1998 to2000. It featured a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine and achieved a total of three podium finishes.[7]
A Córdoba has also been used in theFIA World Rallycross Championship. Danish driverDennis Rømer contested the2014 World RX of Germany, finishing 40th out of 41 entrants in the heat stage. To date this is, and most likely will remain, the only time a Córdoba has been used in World Championshiprallycross. However, theSEAT Ibiza has been used as a manufacturer entry.
The contemporary Volkswagen Polo Classic (saloon) and estate variant wererebadged versions of the SEAT Córdoba Mk1 and Córdoba Vario respectively, and were not based on theVolkswagen Polo hatchback.[citation needed]
FAW-Volkswagen, Volkswagen's partner in China, manufactured the Córdoba Mk1 under the Volkswagen Citi Golf name between 1994[8] and 2001. The Citi Golf had the same exterior as the pre-facelift Córdoba and the 1.4-litreABD engine was standard paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. When it was new in 1995, pricing was 240,000 yuan (US$35,640 - October 2020 exchange rate).[9]
In Mexico it was rebadged as the Volkswagen Derby. In 1995, it was imported from Spain,[citation needed] but the 1996 model was assembled in the Volkswagen de México assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico.[citation needed] In 1998, the Spanish-madePolo Classic was introduced in Mexico as the new Volkswagen Derby.[citation needed]
The Volkswagen Polo Classic was also sold in the Philippines from 1996 to 1999, and in South Africa from 1996 to 2002.
