The new Seat Ibiza is one of the supermini segment. It was the first car of the Volkswagen group, which was developed on a platform developed specifically for this segment. Ibiza is SEAT's flagship offering in the supermini segment. It is produced in a factory in Martorell, near Barcelona, Spain. As a manufacturer boasts a new Seat jes fourth and most impressive generation of this car. Why? I decided to look at this.

Let's start with the environment. 95% of the car is recyclable, and the level of CO2 for gasoline is less than 120 g / km, and with diesel 160 g / km. Frankly, these values do not impress, and are simply a response to the demands placed on producers by the standard clean exhaust Euro.

The appearance of the car.

The new generation Ibiza was designed under the direction of gap Donckerwolke, author m.in Lamborhini such cars as the Murcielago and Gallardo. I can not say, the new look is impressive. Seat has a predatory figure. A manifestation of the evolution of the vehicle line is primarily a newly designed front and a new interpretation of "dynamic line". The new SEAT concept, called. "Design shots," involved the transfer of headlights and grille on the bonnet line, in order to create the original contour of the tip. "Dynamic Line" was often more exposed along the sides of the vehicle. What I like least in Ibiza is "muscular rear fenders and clearly marked wheel arches.

The car has grown

Dimensions Ibiza built on the new platform include: 4,052 mm long, 1693 mm wide and 1445 mm in height. The wheelbase is 2,469 mm and 7 mm greater than the previous generation model. Bigger is not only the passenger compartment. Car trunk has grown to 25 liters a whole, making the new Ibiza is the undisputed leader in its segment, offering 292 liters of luggage space (with rear seats spaced).

Safety Equipment

Actually, no revelations here. Enhancing active safety solutions already known from other SEAT models, such as ABS with electronic brake-force Distribution EBD and EBA emergency brake assist and electronic stability program ESP and traction control system, is now available in all versions of motor Ibiza.

Engines

Range of engines available in the new Ibiza covers six units, including three petrol and three diesel engines. Supporters of petrol engines have the choice: 70 hp 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 85 hp 105 hp. Each of them works with the standard five-speed manual transmission.

In turn, significant changes in diesel engines has contributed substantially to improving performance and increasing the maximum torque. Engine power 1.4 TDI (80 hp) has not changed, but 1.9 TDI unit fitted to the new Ibiza can develop the power of 90 or 105 hp. Like the gasoline versions, including all versions of cars with diesel engines are mounted on a five-gear manual.

The new SEAT Ibiza five-door version will be available in three typical brand trim levels – Reference, Stylance and Sport – characterized by a wealth of equipment regardless of the version. Even the basic version of the Reference equipment includes ABS, front airbags, side airbags protect the chest, electric windows and central locking with remote control.

A new generation of SEAT, however I am not impressed. I have not found anything in it which is not in competition. However, this model is better than the previous one, and it requires no explanation. It is unfortunate that Seat had not gone a step further, though, and so all I would recommend this model, he drove an older version of that model and I am very happy with it.

Recently, we presented you the sedan and coupe versions. So it's time for the last vehicle of the E-class in the latest edition. Cars could be caught virtually no camouflage. The car looks very elegant – long body with a slightly sloping roof gives the impression of a delicate and slender.

The main objective is to create an exclusive Mercedes-Benz car, which will offer customers the best standard in its class and a large storage space. This vehicle is to be a bit longer than his older brother, and also wider.

Estate Sale version would have to begin by the end of this year.

As we have seen, changes in the appearance of the front bumper cover, replacement lamps, and the grille is more pointed. Rear of the car was not very modified – minor fixes in the bumper and slightly inflected light.

The real novelty of what is to be hidden under the hood. Indeed, the car will be powered by diesel-label Blutec. Apparently in the near future is to win Class A hybrid version.

I do not know you, but I "resurrected" the Camaro with the release of a 2010 model accounted for my taste. The car has a clutch and is not afraid to show it on the road. Acute and shapes to fulfill the sight of predatory headlights that seem to "devour" anything that obstructs their path. Definitely a car worth attention and I hope that (maybe thanks to him), the company manages to survive the crisis, because as you can see their good ideas are not lacking.

Audi number for this year nowostek technology to be implemented this year. Most of them – what we can indeed predict – will be targeted at lower fuel consumption, and ecology. These include the start-stop system (which is no longer a novelty) and energy recovery system.

We all probably already heard about the system start-stop. It disables the engine when the car stops when I throw, "the backlash" and puścimy clutch pedal. When the clutch is pressed again, the engine automatically starts up. The system reportedly reduces fuel consumption by 0.2 l/100 km and carbon dioxide emissions by about 5 g / km. It's something. For the first time you use it in an Audi A3 1.4 TFSI with manual transmission and in the A4 and A5 with a 2-liter engines, but not only.

Kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) converts energy from braking into electricity. That preserved the use of acceleration, saving fuel. It is already standard on the A3 1.4 TFSI, A4 and A5 coupe, the A5 Cabrio, A6, Q5 and Q7.

These technologies are now probably all known, however, have increased the economy and the ecology of the current models by 20 percent compared to 2007.
