Comments

The Ibiza impresses with incredibly low particle emissions, especially for a direct injection petrol engine. In a couple of tests, the values even come close to Green NCAP's lower threshold and demonstrate how well the particulate filter is working. Pollutants control is generally good, but unfortunately an excess of carbon monoxide in the BAB130 cycle sets the Highway test score to zero. Here, the high power demand acceleration phases push the emissions of CO and ammonia (NH3) above the upper thresholds and the emissions control loses robustness.

The SEAT's fuel consumption values represent standard figures for petrol vehicles of that size and mass. In the Cold laboratory test at 23°C and cold engine start, 6 liters are needed per 100 km. In the Highway test, the value increases to 7 l/100 km, similar to the measured value for the standard on-road drive. Short urban trips would, however, require more than 9 l/100 km. With 5.1/10, the vehicle's Energy Efficiency Index does not hold any surprises.

Comments

The Greenhouse Gas Index is based on a Well-to-Wheel+ approach. The test vehicle emits about 130 g CO2/km in the Cold and Warm laboratory WLTC+ tests and closely matches the value declared by the manufacturer. 156 g CO2/km are emitted on the tailpipe in the BAB130 Highway test. With upstream greenhouse gas emissions of around 35 - 40 g CO2-eq./km on top, these figures lead to a mediocre result of 3.7/10. The emissions of N2O and CH4 are barely measurable and grant the vehicle bonus points for robust control.

Our verdict

The new SEAT Ibiza, equipped with a 1 liter direct injection turbo engine, demonstrates what is possible in terms of control of pollutants output and impresses with very low particle emissions. However, the vehicle lacks robustness under more challenging conditions, and that leaves the car with what is an average result for the Clean Air Index. Measures to increase robustness would boost the car's score. In terms of energy efficiency, the SEAT delivers standard values and leaves room for improvement. Directly coupled to the consumption figures is the Greenhouse Gas index, which is additionally pushed down by the upstream greenhouse gas emissions associated with petrol fuel production. On the plus side, the emissions of the strong greenhouse gases N2O (laughing gas) and CH4 (methane) are fairly low. The Ibiza scores total 4.8 out of 10 points and receives 2½ Green stars.
