Cleaner Car, Cleaner Conscience The new Ibiza Ecomotive sets a new benchmark for ecologically-friendly cars by reducing the CO2 emissions to a minimum. Thanks to new on board software and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), CO2 emissions have been slashed to a meagre 99 g/km, without any compromise on power or performance, boasting a beefy 1.4 TDI/ 80PS and a top speed of 109MPH. The result is a clean, fast response in acceleration and responsible power management. The DPF filters the soot particles given off by any diesel engine to reduce the amount of potentially harmful emissions into our environment. This has also lowered the weighted average of consumption to 74.3mpg. Meaning driving with a cleaner car... and a cleaner conscience. Likewise, the weight of the new Ibiza Ecomotive has also been reduced from 1.106 Kg to 1.084 Kg, not an easy task, as SEAT's starting point was the Ibiza 1.4 TDI/ 80hp Reference, already boasting a lighter weight. The reduced weight secures fewer emissions and lower fuel consumption, while being dependably light and with enough room for standard and optional features - Mission accomplished. The aerodynamics of the car has also been modified. A sleeker, more agile design means less resistance and in turn less power needed to propel the car. The engineers of the Technical Centre of SEAT have been able to optimise the aerodynamic coefficient of the new Ibiza Ecomotive to a Cx of 0.3. The wheels have also seen a change with the Dunlop SP10 165/ 70 R14 now being fitted complete with higher pressure (2,9 and 2,7 on front and rear wheel respectively), a thinner tyre that improves efficiency and aerodynamics of the car, while the rims have a steel, closed-design hubcap, allowing a reduction in the diameter in the wheel giving greater aerodynamic efficiency. Lowering Emissions Not Emotions Moreover, the levels of comfort and safety have not been compromised. The new Ibiza Ecomotive comes standard with air conditioning, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), 3 height-adjustable rear headrests, passenger airbag disconnection, central power lock and power front windows. Also available is optional Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), curtain airbags and cruise control, among others. All this without surpassing the maximum weight permitted to set the emissions levels of the New Ibiza Ecomotive at 99 g/km. In fact, respecting the environment is not at odds with power, security and comfort. The New Ibiza Ecomotive embodies this concept to perfection. For more information take a further look through the Ibiza Ecomotive pages. The spirit of competition comes with a price: responsibility. With this in mind at SEAT we have designed one of the most eco-friendly cars on the market today, without compromising on performance. The New Ibiza Ecomotive, lowering emissions not emotions.
