The new generation of the Seat Ibiza -the Quinta- is one of the notable developments in 2017. A few weeks ago, and tried their versions ACT 1.5 TSi 150 TSi CV and the aforementioned 115 hp 1.0, we will focus on the latter comparing it with the new version we tested, the 95 hp 1.0 TSi. From a mechanical point of view, both are similar and tried to put on the table the data to try to clear doubts once the potential buyer is at the dealership.

He Seat Ibiza 1.0 TSi new 95 CV differs more than a priori can be expected. As chassis, the front brakes 115 hp version have a diameter of 276mm, while our protagonist mounts a smaller disks 252 mm, ventilated in both cases. At the rear the solid discs of 230 mm are the most powerful version substituted drums, the reason? Under our appreciation is none other than the costs. The team also varies wheels, which is normal because the prestacional level is lower. The new Seat Ibiza 1.0 TSi 95 hp Falken tires mounted a novel Ze ZIEX 914 A 195/55 R16 in action against Michelin Primacy 3 215/45 R17 from his older brother. An appreciation we have been noticing for some time is that brands have begun to not ride premium tires, especially in versions of Access. Although our scales also reflect differences testimonial: 1,122 kg New Seat Ibiza 1.0 TSi 95 hp against the 1,135 kg 115 hp.

In mechanical there are also changes the engine far as we know is the same but with different electronics, but the engine code itself varies (CHZL for 95 hp and CHZJ for 115 hp). The most important difference is in the gearbox: 6-speed version for more powerful while our protagonist is content with 5-speed. On one hand, the torque is lower and a slower speed generates more friction, hence the decision to set up a 5-speed.

In our regular tours the new Seat Ibiza 1.0 TSi 95 hp holds the last speed smoothly and only if the gap is accused have to put 4th (a driver of 70 kg. without baggage and without the A / A connected). 11.28 liters were required for the new route of 217 kilometers, or what is the same 5,2 l / 100 km It is the result, below which marked the computer (5.4 l 100 / km) and the result was in town 6.07 l / 100 km. Compared to the 115 hp we see that spends two tenths road, and that as we have said on occasion, more than an electronically limited version with less official consumption, in real life is not equal and the absence of CV and torque translates into stepping on the accelerator or what is the same, more fuel consumption.

A negative point is that the new Seat Ibiza in all versions tested has lost the valve was in the mouth of the fuel tank and served to remove air from the tank still is not dramatic and about 7 or 8 minutes can have a reliable filling.
