Last week we revealed to you the first images and details of the top of the range Seat Ibiza CUPRA, now at the other end of the green spectrum we can now reveal the Ibiza ECOMOTIVE. The model will offer the lowest emissions in its segment with a figure of just 99g/km blowing much of its competition away.

The ECOMOTIVE will be available in both the SportCoupe (three-door) and five-door versions, it features an 80hp 1.4 TDI engine fitted with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) which not only helps the afore mentioned emission levels but also reduces fuel consumption as well. The ECOMOTIVE also benefits from slight modifications to the gear ratios, a set of new 14 inch wheels and similar to the previous generation, a weight saving measure that removes the spare tyre and replaces it with an antipuncture kit. Aerodynamic modifications also help contribute to the low fuel consumption with a new closed front grille and rear spoiler.

Full fuel consumption figures are yet to be announced, we are likely to have to wait until its full unveiling at the Paris Motor Show alongside the CUPRA model.

Amazing CO2 but that 3 cylinder TDI rattles like hell at idle and the sound while running is similar to a 4 cylinder running on pure industrial sand. Apart from that, it's ok...

Of course there will be trade-offs when going somewhat green. Low emissions and excellent fuel economy. What did you expect? Pro's and con's.

Why can't they put that spoiler (metal version of course) on the Cupra? Looks alright on this model too tough. I just hate those wheel covers.
