The Seat Ibiza ECOMOTIVE achieved a major triumph in the 10th Eco Tour, a recent cross-Europe, tough, fuel-efficient challenge. The 1.4-litre diesel powered Ibiza not only finished first place in the "small diesel" class but was also the overall winner with average fuel consumption of 3.8l/100km.

The new Seat Ibiza ECOMOTIVE was rated the most efficient car in a recent Eco Tour economy challenge across Europe.

The Volkswagen Passat with a 1.9 TDI Blue Motion engine was in a close second position, followed by the Audi A3 with a similar engine.

A total of 42 teams from 14 different countries took part in the Eco Tour 2008. The event aims to demonstrate the advantages of fuel-efficient driving, which, in addition to reducing fuel costs, also has less of an environmental impact.

The 20 participating vehicles were divided into six categories: 'small vehicles', 'compact vehicles' and 'family vehicles' with diesel and petrol engines. The teams switched cars within their category every day and covered distances of up to 400km a day.

The Ibiza ECOMOTIVE's performance was impressive. The car has been launched to the public at this week's Paris Motor Show.
