SEAT Young Driver offers invaluable driving lessons to youngsters aged 11 to 17 years old, at nine venues throughout the UK.
The lessons involve tuition in the latest dual control SEAT Ibiza Ecomotive. Accompanied by a qualified driving instructor, the session includes starting, driving, steering, maneuvering and braking, all on a purpose built simulated road system.
Learning in one of the latest ultra-green SEAT cars means experiencing the common-rail TDI engine, Start/Stop system and Brake Energy Recovery System, all of which make the Ibiza Ecomotive among the very lowest-polluting new cars on the road. Its CO2 emissions are just 92g/km.

Steve Robertson, Head of Marketing for SEAT UK, said:
"Responsible parents are interested in the safety of their youngsters on the road and young people in particular are very aware of environmental concerns. The Ibiza Ecomotive is a great opportunity for SEAT Young Driver to demonstrate the cars of the future to tomorrow's motorists."
Kim Stanton, spokesperson for SEAT Young Driver, said:
"Research from Sweden shows that accidents are reduced by 40% through providing under 17s with driver training. With one in five UK youngsters crashing within six months of passing their test, we set out to establish the first nationwide network of sites to offer driving experience to those from 11 to 16. These new SEAT Ibiza Ecomotives enable us to show environmental responsibility as well as teach responsible road use."
Motoring commentator Quentin Willson has described the SEAT Young Driver as "a road safety revolution in the making" after his son, Max, attended a series of lessons.
