Firstly, because it demonstrates the Volkswagen Group’s latest technology, the MQB-A0 platform (Modular Quer Baukasten) which shows the importance of the SEAT brand within the Volkswagen Group, as this new platform will be featured for the first time in this segment. And secondly, because it comes full to the brim with the most advanced technology, spectacular dynamism and a notable increase in interior space.
This means a completely new model while, as always, it keeps its young spirit, dynamism, functionality and comfort. To achieve this, it gets a new, fresh and sporty design, reflecting SEAT’s unmistakable DNA. The surface language has been accentuated even more in a way that gives a more sculptured, exciting and aerodynamic look.
All of the engines available in the new SEAT Ibiza comply with the Euro6 emissions regulation and lead the way in performance, with outstanding features, high mileage and low emissions.
A new 1.5 TSI will be available in late 2017 with four cylinders and 150 PS. The TSI’s injection pressure is 250 bar for the 115 and 95 horsepower 1 litre versions, while the 1.5 TSI goes up to 350 bar. It’s also worth noting that all TSI versions come with variable inlet and outlet valve timing to improve smoothness and response to any high or low rev situation and whatever the driver may ask from it.
