In the Spanish market, the Ibiza Van is available with two engine choices, a 1.2-liter three-cylinder unit with 70 horsepower or a 1.2-liter TDI CR with 75 hp. The diesel is especially frugal, consuming only 3.8 liters of fuel every 100 kilometers (61 mpg US) on the combined cycle. The engine also comes with green credentials, as it only emits 99 grams of CO2 every kilometer.
The Van version of the Ibiza disposes of the rear glass and rear seats and adds a partition, which separates the cabin from the rear cargo area. This car offers the impressive load capacity of 930 liters.
Standard equipment includes power steering, bumpers painted in the same color as the body, air conditioning, ABS, EBD, MP3 CD radio, electric windows, remote central locking, dual airbags, adjustable driver's seat, covered loading area, and mirrors that are adjustable from the inside.
The standard version comes with steel wheels, but you can spec optional alloys for €337 ($462). The Confortdrive Pack adds foglights, cruise control and heated mirrors for €342 ($469), while the Winter Pack comes with heated seats, heated nozzles, headlight washers and costs €317 extra.
SEAT is asking €12,635 ($17,329) for the petrol version that comes with a 70 hp 1.2. The diesel costs a bit more at €14,760 ($14,760).
This type of vehicle could be appealing in some European countries, like France or Italy, two of the most likely markets to bring high sales. Between 1996 and 2003, the carmaker sold the Inca panel van which was also based on the Ibiza.
