Fans of the UEFA Europa League can now enjoy the thrills of being a top team manager thanks to a new fantasy football online game – with the ultimate prize being not a trophy but a brand new SEAT Ibiza ECOMOTIVE, the greenest car in its class.

SEAT, Presenting Sponsor of the UEFA Europa League, is sponsoring the ‘UEFA Europa League Fantasy Football’ online game.  Aside from the grand prize of the dynamic Ibiza ECOMOTIVE – whose CO2 emissions of just 98 g/km are among the lowest of any production car on sale today – there are two tickets to the UEFA Europa League final and 15 Official UEFA Europa League footballs to be won.

The game, which can be found at uefa.com, is quite simple: competitors choose 15 players from across the UEFA Europa League using a fixed budget.  Points are then awarded following each player’s performance in the actual league matches (full details at http://en.uelfantasy.uefa.com). 

SEAT is awarding the Ibiza ECOMOTIVE to the player with the highest scoring team between the first leg ties of the Round of 32 in February and the final on 12 May 2010.

A second player, who successfully steers a team through the group phase and to the top of the table after the semi-finals, will win two tickets and hospitality, as well as travel and accommodation, to the final of the UEFA Europa League in Hamburg – courtesy of SEAT.

There are also 15 matchday prizes up for grabs this season. An official UEFA Europa League match ball will go to the highest scoring player each matchday. This high quality football was developed especially for the new competition.

These prizes will only be attributed to participants with legal residence/domicile in a country whose national football association is a member of UEFA.

SEAT is the Presenting Sponsor of the UEFA Europa League for three seasons since early September 2009 until 2012. The contract includes an array of association, event, promotional, new media and media rights that will help build a strong connection between SEAT and football supporters from across Europe.

1. The Ibiza ECOMOTIVE sets a new fuel-saving record of 2.34 l/100 km

• Driving across 12 European states on a single tank to set a new record
• Only 44.81 litres of fuel were needed to cover the distance of 1,910 km
• Austrian long-haul specialist Gerhard Plattner set the new record with the Spanish car

Once again, the SEAT Ibiza ECOMOTIVE has proven its ecological merits and driving efficiency by covering no less than a distance of 1,910 km on a single tank of fuel, resulting in an average consumption figure of 2.34 l/100 km. This incredible repeat performance was carried out magnificently by Austrian Gerhard Plattner, a well-known champion of fuel-saving tests, who got the most out of the Ibiza ECOMOTIVE’s qualities.

The first time Plattner teamed up with the Ibiza ECOMOTIVE was in late April, when the dynamic duo drove from SEAT factory installations in Martorell to Göttingen, Germany, with an average fuel consumption of 2.9 litres for every 100 km.

For the current record, Plattner set out from Cieszyn, Poland, on 23 September, immediately after the IPMC (International Police Motor Corporation) sealed the car’s bonnet and fuel tank filling mouth.

The route included a total of 12 European states, and 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).

When he switched off the engine for the last time, the seal on the fuel tank was still intact and the new fuel-saving record of SEAT’s Ibiza ECOMOTIVE was certified for its segment. The excellent final figure result corroborates 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.

• Family version to complete Ibiza range
• Standard car scheduled for mid-2010 market presence
• Altea Ecomotive, Altea XL Ecomotive and León Ecomotive, most eco-friendly in respective segments

The Spanish car manufacturer SEAT is to broaden the scope of both its highly successful Ibiza family and the Ecomotive range.

At the Frankfurt International Motor Show SEAT’s Chairman James Muir presented the IBZ concept, a term the Spanish brand uses to describe the new family-version Ibiza. The standard version of the car is scheduled to hit the markets mid-2010. “The Ibiza is already SEAT’s most successful car, and the IBZ will be the perfect addition to the Ibiza family, enabling us to harness better our potential in the growing A0 segment.” stated SEAT’s Chairman. The brand is targeting active and sporty customers as well as young families. James Muir added “The new Ibiza brings together all the advantages of a roomy station wagon with characteristic design and an elegant interior”.

Likewise, SEAT’s Chairman unveiled the new Altea Ecomotive, the most eco-friendly car in its segment, producing just 119 gm/km of CO2. Other eco-friendly front-runners in their respective classes are the Altea XL Ecomotive (119 gr/km) and the new León Ecomotive (99 gr/km).

The three vehicles are equipped with the most modern common rail diesel engines. Additionally, for the first time ever SEAT is using the Start-Stop system and energy-recovery technology. This can be seen particularly in the new León Ecomotive, which has brought down its CO2 emissions by 20 gr/km compared to the previous version.

With these three new Ecomotive versions, SEAT now offers 27 different model versions whose CO2 emissions are below the 140 gr/km mark. “Innovative and eco-friendly technologies make up an important part of our brand strategy. A passion for driving and respect for the environment go hand in hand. We shall continue to add to the Ecomotive range” highlighted James Muir.

1. SEAT to show off its new ECOMOTIVE range at the Frankfurt Motor Show

You're reading SEAT adds to Ibiza and Ecomotive range originally posted on oneighturbo.com. If you've enjoyed this article, be sure and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and YouTube.

The SEAT Ibiza ECOMOTIVE is undisputedly the most ecological vehicle in its segment after proving its driving efficiency by covering no less than a distance of 1,562 km on a single tank of fuel, resulting in an average consumption figure of 2.9 l/100 km. This incredible feat was carried out magnificently by Austrian Gerhard Plattner, a well-known champion of fuel-saving tests, who got the most out of the Ibiza ECOMOTIVE’s qualities.

• Driving across Spain, France and Germany on a single tank
• Only 45.53 litres of fuel were needed to cover the distance of 1,562 km
• Austrian long-haul specialist Gerhard Plattner set the record

Gerhard Plattner drove out of the Martorell facilities near Barcelona on board of the Ibiza ECOMOTIVE last Monday 27 April, after both the bonnet and the fuel tank filling mouth had been sealed. The trip began under supervision by the IPMC (International Police Motor Corporation), which was initially planned along a 1,345 km route from south to north on public motorways at a suitable pace.

Plattner drove the Ibiza ECOMOTIVE through Perpignan, Avignon, Lyon, Mulhouse, Freiburg, Frankfurt and finally Göttingen on his way to setting the record. At some points along the way on motorways in Spain and France, Plattner brought the Ibiza up to cruising speeds of 110 km/h.

When they made their triumphant entry in Frankfurt, the SEAT Ibiza ECOMOTIVE had already set the world fuel-saving record for a car in its category, but there was still some fuel left in the tank, so Plattner decided to continue driving until he reached Göttingen, where the chairman of the IPMC removed the seal from the filling mouth and they refuelled the car with the exact same quantity as when the car had left Martorell: 45.53 litres.

A smiling Plattner declared that ‘setting this record has been incredible. Without a doubt, it has been the most spectacular fuel-saving challenge this year. The pouring rain practically all through the night made driving difficult, but the Ibiza ECOMOTIVE performed to perfection.’

The SEAT Ibiza ECOMOTIVE is the leading car in its segment in terms of sustainability and the Spanish brand’s most ecological car, thanks to its low fuel consumption figure of only 3.7 l/100 km and CO2 emissions level of 98 g/km.

Optimised streamlining, weight reduction and modifications to the 80 hp 1.4 TDI engine’s management have given rise to one of the cleanest cars on the market today. Besides, it is the only model equipped with air-conditioning, a five-door body style and such a low emissions level.

• New Exeo ST for those seeking more space and practicality
• New SEAT León and the new Altea 2009 range
• New León ECOMOTIVE Concept, with only 99 g/km of CO2

>

This year the Geneva Motor Show is one of the most significant stages for SEAT since the Spanish brand is showcasing several novelties in its range of vehicles as part of the company’s product expansion strategy, which includes the arrival of up to ten new models in the next six months.


 
SEAT will be presenting the newest, most modern and up to date range on the market, featuring the Exeo station wagon, called Exeo ST, the new SEAT León and Altea 2009 models, with a completely revamped look and the addition of common rail Diesel engines, and the León ECOMOTIVE Concept prototype, with its record-setting emissions levels of only 99 g/km of CO2.
 
This morning, SEAT president Erich Schmitt stressed the importance the arrival of new models has for the brand, stating ‘we have completely renewed our product line-up and have invested in new vehicles and technology. The result is on display today, with no less than seven vehicles showcased, including one prototype.’
 
The family size version of the Exeo arrives
 
Coinciding with the commercial launch of the sedan, SEAT is presenting the Exeo ST in Geneva, the family size version of the new model that will make its way onto the market in July, whose engine range and equipment list will be identical to those of the four-door version.
 
The new Exeo ST features outstanding practicality and functionality. Its family styling and new rear hatch increase load capabilities and comfort, with broader access and a flat cargo area. The new model features greater storage volume compared to the sedan by allowing objects to be loaded up to the ceiling. Furthermore, the Exeo ST is also equipped with an upper cargo net that increases safety by preventing objects from falling into the passenger compartment.
 
The only differences compared to the sedan lay in the length of the body, which is 4.666 metres long, and the boot volume, of 442 litres. This model will be wholly manufactured at the Martorell factory near Barcelona.
 
The mid range evolves
 
Another novelty presented by SEAT at the Geneva Motor Show is the new exterior and interior looks of the León model and the Altea range.
 
With this unmistakeable evolution, the Spanish brand’s mid-range undergoes a considerable exterior design transformation, mainly affecting the front end, with a new bumper, a newly designed grille with a smaller SEAT brand logo and a more stylish chrome surround, larger headlights and newly designed door mirrors; and a broader rear window for better visibility, a new hatch and new light clusters, among others, at the rear end.
 
On the inside, the instrument panel, central console and door panels have undergone considerable modifications, resulting in an ergonomically modern passenger compartment.
 
Customers can choose from five petrol and four Diesel engine variations, featuring common rail technology on the 170 hp 2.0 TDI unit. There are two new petrol engines to choose from – the 160 hp 1.8 TSI, now available with a 7-speed DSG gearbox, and the 211 hp 2.0 TSI, which is exclusive to the León FR and the Altea freetrack. All the models equipped with an automatic sequential DSG gearbox include steering wheel shift paddles, except the 105 hp 1.9 TDI unit.
 
The company’s new vehicles will feature an extensive equipment list in combination with the Reference, Style and Sport trim levels. The XDS system will be included for the first time, exclusive to the new León 2009, which functions as a self-blocking mechanism but achieved through an electronic device. Further elements will include hill hold control, double xenon AFS headlights with daytime driving lights, a new climate control and new audio equipment, cornering foglights, front and rear parking sensors and an optical parking system visible on the new navigation system’s display panel.
 
León ECOMOTIVE Concept: a record setter in its segment
 
SEAT is taking confident strides in its efforts to reduce its cars’ emissions levels and fuel consumption figures. At the beginning of January the company published news of its León Twin Drive Ecomotive electric car project slated for 2014, and at the Geneva Motor Show the Spanish brand is unveiling the new SEAT León Ecomotive Concept.
 
The company’s prototype features the new 105 hp 1.6 TDI engine equipped with the DPF particulate filter and common rail technology, which greatly contribute to lowering average combined fuel consumption figures and emissions levels compared to the basic version it derives from, delivering a spectacular consumption of 3.8 litres for every 100 kilometres and 99 g/km of CO2 emissions, making the León ECOMOTIVE Concept the most ecological compact car in its segment together with the VW Golf Bluemotion.
 
A total of 20 g/km has been knocked off thanks to the addition of the new Auto Start/Stop system and the energy recuperation function, two completely new functions in the SEAT range. The new ecological León will shortly join the brand’s ECOMOTIVE range, where the 98 g/km Ibiza and the 159 g/km Alhambra are the most ecological models in their respective ranges, besides the León ECOMOTIVE 2009, with emissions levels of 119 g/km.
