Ecomotive

The new SEAT seven-seat Alhambra MPV is about to be launched in the UK with a “green version” available and to coincide with this, SEAT has just launched a new badging to further recognise their Ecomotive range of cars. The Ecomotive range offers very low CO2 emissions and superb combined mpg, with the new Ibiza Ecomotive emitting just 92g/km of CO2 for example.

The new badging includes the letter “E” in addition to existing name, which appears in green just above the boot-lid. SEAT’s range of cars including the Ibiza SC, Ibiza 5dr, Ibiza ST, Leon, Altea, Altea XL and the new Alhambra, all offer an Ecomotive version.

Andy Medcraft, SEAT UK Product Marketing Manager, said,”The growing number of Ecomotives on our roads clearly shows how popular these frugal yet sporty cars are becoming. I think the arrival of this new badging structure will only serve to underline our cars’ emergence as a leader in the field of environmentally responsible motoring”. The full range of SEAT cars including all Ecomotive models is available now on SEAT business car leasing.

SEAT Ecomotive

SEAT will be launching next week, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, low CO2 versions of the Altea, Altea XL and Leon cars. All three new models feature significant improvements to offer better fuel consumption and to reduce harmful emissions.

The three newcomers feature the latest 105PS 1.6-litre TDI CR engine which incorporates a DPF particulate filter as well as cutting edge common rail diesel technology as standard.

Both versions of the Altea offer 119g/km Co2 emissions while the Leon comes in at 99g/km – a significant improvement on the old model.

Other features in the cars include Auto Start/Stop technology, energy recuperation, modifications to the five-speed gearbox, featuring a handy gear indicator device, which recommends the best gear to be driving in. The trio of SEAT Ecomotive models will be available in early 2010 however car leasing prices on other SEAT models are available now.
