SEAT Ibiza ECOMOTIVE set a new extraordinary fuel-saving record by covering the distance of 1,910 km on a single tank of fuel with an average consumption figure of 2.34 l/100 km. Behind the Ibiza ECOMOTIVE's steering-wheel was the Austrian Gerhard Plattner, a well-known champion of fuel-saving tests, who got the most out of the Ibiza ECOMOTIVE's qualities.

The new fuel-saving record route started from Cieszyn, Poland, on 23 September and included a total of 12 European states. Plattner drove through the cities of Mosty (Czech Republic), Bratislava (Slovaquia), Hegyeshalom (Hungary), Graz (Austria), Varazdin (Croatia), Maribor (Slovenia), Toblach (Italy), Innsbruck (Austria), Schaan (Principality of Liechtenstein), Zurich (Switzerland) and Saint-Louis (France) to finish off in Frankfurt (Germany).

This magnificent final result proves the reduced consumption and emissions levels characteristic of the ECOMOTIVE range, whose new Altea and Altea XL ECOMOTIVE additions were exhibited at the Frankfurt Motor show.
