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.
