EuroNcap: safety tests on seven new arrivals
EuroNcap has again put to the test some of the latest models of the last few months. Testing was carried out on seven of the cars most suited to families: Audi A4, Skoda Superb, Citroen Berlingo, Ford Kuga, the VW T5 Caravelle and the two smaller ones, the Hyundai i10 and the Seat Ibiza. All the cars did well in the test on child safety, gaining four stars which is currently the highest protection available on the market for passengers from 18 months to three years of age.
From recent research users have understood the importance of using the correct accessories for child safety during travel. However, latest studies show that 60 percent of car users still don’t correctly use such equipment. Among the most frequent cases, wrong instalment of baby seats or the wrong choice is the highest instance. EuroNcap believes these errors are caused by limited available information on the correct use of car seats, while stating that the best way of fixing a baby seat in the car is the ISOFIX system which should be offered by companies at no extra cost.

Seat Ibiza: details and German pricing
The debut of the five doorSeat Ibiza will happen next June 14. For three door model, that as we expected will be called Sportcoupè you’ll have to wait from anywhere between August and September, when what seems to be the true heir of the Geneva Bocanegra will arrive in showrooms.
In Germany the five door “base”, equipped with a 1.2 70 hp, will cost around 12,190 euros while other petrol models, from 86 to 105 hp will be around 13,390 and 15,760 euros respectively. Diesel models are from 14,790 for the 1.4 TDI 80 hp, and reach 15,390 for the 1.9 TDI 90 hp, with the 105 hp selling at 17,660 euros.
All versions have the ESP series and four airbags, while amongst the optional extras you can choose from further airbags, adaptable headlights and the new seven gear DSG. The increase in size has done well for room and boot size (now at 292 litres), but hasn’t added anything to weight, in addition cutting consumption and emissions by ten percent compared to the previous model.
Seat Ibiza: three doors in November and the Cupra in 2009
Confirmation of the production of the Seat Bocanegra Concept revealed at Ginevra has arrived. The prototype seen at the show previews the aspects of the next three-door Ibiza, expected for November with the name Sportcoupè: but especially it will have the black nose reflecting the mean look of the Cupra, 2009, which as a showcar makes itself noticed for its chrome finish.
The good news is that the Cupra will maintain most aspects of the Bocanegra such as the front air vent design. Designer Luc Donckerwolke, ex-Lamborghini, has declared that given the success won for the prototype, it would be unthinkable to change the series’ version.
The Cupra will be equipped with a 1.4 TFSI at 180 hp and the new DSG seven gears and together with the new Toledo will be the most important news in 2009. The Toledo will be based on the old Audi A4 series but dressed up in Seat style.
