Seat Ibiza, how it goes on the road

Proposta in abbinamento a quattro motorizzazioni, con potenze da 80 cavalli a 150 cavalli con cambio manuale o Dsg, la protagonista del nostro primo contatto è stata la Seat Ibiza 1.0 TSI 115 cavalli 3 cilindri con cambio DSG a 7 rapporti. Nessun stravolgimento rispetto al passato ma quella bella sensazione di guidare una macchina “vera”, una segmento B cittadina dal grande spazio a bordo che conquista per la consistenza di quello che offre e non di inutili dotazioni dall’effetto wow ma dallo scarso valore nella vita di tutti i giorni. Grazie alle modalità di guida selezionabili- Eco, Normal, Sport e Individual - è possibile personalizzare la risposta del motore, dello sterzo e, nelle versioni con cambio DSG, anche del cambio, mentre l’accoppiata sospensioni anteriori MacPherson e asse posteriore a barra di torsione ne confermano la buona reattività tra le curve. Promosso il funzionamento del pacchetto Adas. Prezzi non ancora definitivi per gli allestimenti Ibiza, Style ed FR.
