Two more Ibiza models have born ever since the new Ibiza range debuted six months ago. The Ibiza Cupra and the Ibiza Ecomotive will make their official debut at the 2008 Paris Motor Show.The SEAT Cupra is the fuel-guzzler among the two, and the SEAT EcoMotive is the eco-warrior.

SEAT Ibiza EcoMotive for Paris Motor Show 2008

The Ibiza Cupra is powered by a 180 hp 1.4 TSI twin-turbo engine and sports a seven-speed DSG gearbox with steering wheel shift-paddles. The 1.4 TSI twin-turbo engine is said to provide good reduction in emission levels and fuel consumption thanks to its small cylinder capacity. Meanwhile, the good looking Ibiza Ecomotive is being dubbed as the most eco-friendly vehicle in its segment going by commendable CO2 emissions reductions .

The SEAT Cupra car sports a newly-designed bumper, featuring the air intake vents surrounding the central grille, and also is good looking with athletic looks.

More dope on the engine proves that the combination of the 1.4 TSI twin-turbo engine and the DSG gearbox has all in it to give a superb drivng experience. Other features include ABS, driver and passenger airbag, head airbag, Hill Hold Control, tyre pressure loss warning light, twin chrome headlights, fog lamps with cornering function, easy entry system on the passenger seat, Cupra suspension, Cupra sports seats and aluminium pedals.

Meanwhile, the Ibiza Ecomotive, another model that has arrived along with the Cupra Ibiza, comes with a revamped styling and the reputation of being the most ecological car of its segment, by placing the CO2 emissions level at only 99 g per km. The car is available in five-door and SportCoupe versions and is powered by a 80 hp 1.4 TDI with DPF particulate filter that allows reduction in emissions and fuel economy.

Updated engine software in the SEAT EcoMotive is a large factor in contributing to achieving these results, as well as improvements to the gearbox and the gear ratios, the new 175/70 R14 tyres, the 14” wheels with hubcaps. The new closed front grille and new rear spoiler create more aerodynamic efficiency, and add to the eco-friendliness of the EcoMotive.
