Seat has revealed a facelifted version of its Ibiza supermini with new engines, which will include an 88g/km diesel model. Prices are yet to be announced, but it will go on sale in the autumn.
It is powered by a new generation of petrol and diesel engines. The most frugal is the 1.4-litre 75hp diesel, which emits 88g/km of CO2 and returns 83.1 mpg.
By comparison, Seat's most efficient model is the Leon which is powered by a 110hp 1.6-litre diesel engine which emits 87g/km of CO2 and returns 85.6mpg.
Other diesel models include a 95hp three-pot diesel, which returns 68.9 mpg and emits 94g/km of CO2. More powerful options will be offered, in 90hp and 105hp guises. Seat said both models would achieve 74.3 mpg or more.
Petrol-wise, the entry-level engine is a 1.0-litre with 75hp in naturally aspirated format and 95hp and 110hp in turbocharged guises. A 1.4-litre 150hp model will also be offered. Efficiency figures have not yet been revealed for the petrol models.
Seat said it has concentrated on upgrading the interior of the facelifted Ibiza instead of the exterior. It now features the second-generation of the firm's Easy Connect infotainment system, which includes the MirrorLink function.
The Ibiza is also introducing the Spanish company's Tiredness Recognition system. It recognises diminishing driver concentration based on steering characteristics and provides a warning to the driver, while Multi-Collision Brake automatically slows down the vehicle after a serious impact to dissipate the remaining energy.
"With the Ibiza, we are opening up a new chapter of connectivity. Our customers can continue their digital lifestyle, even when on the road. However, the key issue for us is always the safest and most intuitive operation of the functions," said Dr. Matthias Rabe, Seat vice president for research and development. "With its new engines, it's considerably more comfortable. Thanks to its dynamic and agile suspension and new assistance systems, the Ibiza is one of the most modern and attractive offerings on the market."
