Detailed analysis of the SEAT Ibiza 5p 1.4 TDI 75 CV Start&Stop Ecomotive Reference Connect (2016-2017)
General description
The 2015 SEAT Ibiza 5p 1.4 TDI 75 CV Start&Stop Ecomotive Reference Connect is a utility vehicle that, despite its compact size, offers an interesting proposition for those seeking efficiency and a touch of connectivity. With its 75 hp diesel engine, it positions itself as an economical option for daily use, ideal for the city and occasional getaways.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Ibiza with this 75 hp diesel engine feels agile in urban environments, where its size and electric power steering facilitate maneuvers. On the road, the engine's response is modest, but sufficient to maintain legal cruising speeds with truly low fuel consumption. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and torsion beam with trailing arm at the rear, offers a good balance between comfort and stability, absorbing road irregularities without sacrificing the feeling of control. The 5-speed manual gearbox is precise and contributes to a pleasant driving experience, although a sixth gear is sometimes missed for relieving the engine on long journeys. The brakes, with ventilated discs at the front and drums at the rear, perform their function correctly.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2015 SEAT Ibiza maintains the youthful and dynamic lines that characterize the model. The 5-door version offers superior practicality without sacrificing an attractive aesthetic. Its compact dimensions (4061 mm long, 1693 mm wide, and 1445 mm high) make it manageable in the city, while its 2469 mm wheelbase contributes to a reasonably spacious cabin for its segment. The trunk, with 292 liters, is suitable for daily use. The 15-inch wheels with 185/60 R15 tires complement its image.
Technology and features
Although not a technologically cutting-edge car, the 2015 Ibiza Reference Connect incorporates elements that improve the experience. The Start&Stop system is key to its efficiency, reducing consumption and emissions at stops. Connectivity, although basic by current standards, was a plus at the time, allowing smartphone integration for infotainment functions. The 75 hp 1.4 TDI engine, with common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo, and intercooler, is an example of efficient diesel engineering, with an aluminum block and cylinder head that contribute to a contained weight.
Competition
In the low-power diesel utility segment, the SEAT Ibiza competes with models such as the Volkswagen Polo, Skoda Fabia, Renault Clio, Peugeot 208, and Ford Fiesta. Compared to them, the Ibiza stands out for its balance between design, dynamic behavior, and efficiency, offering an alternative with a sportier touch than some of its direct rivals, especially those from its own group.
Conclusion
The 2015 SEAT Ibiza 5p 1.4 TDI 75 CV Start&Stop Ecomotive Reference Connect is a very sensible option for those looking for a car that is economical to maintain, with exceptionally low fuel consumption (3.4 l/100km combined) and proven reliability. Its attractive design and agile handling make it ideal for daily use, while its basic connectivity adds a plus of convenience. It is an honest car, without great pretensions, but one that more than fulfills its purpose as an urban and short-distance vehicle.
