The SEAT IBE is an electric concept car that was first presented by the Spanish brand SEAT at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, with a second version being introduced a few months later at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. Though it is primarily developed for urban mobility, this compact electric coupé car targets both style and driving dynamics.[1]

The SEAT's IBE is 25 centimetres shorter than a SEAT Ibiza, totalizing 3.78 metres of length. It is 1.80 metres large and 1.22 metres high. The low bonnet and the long roof line also aim to lend the two-door vehicle a sporty image.
The front end features new design full-LED headlamps, but still maintains the characteristic V-shaped lines of SEAT’s “arrow designâ€. The rear has been inspired on the work done at the front, while the rear light clusters feature the LED light guide technology and show the “arrow†thematic with a hint of a diffuser beneath the rear bumper area that reflects the visual of the front air intakes.
Powertrain
The IBE concept car is an all-electric zero emission vehicle powered by an electric engine located together with the power electronics beneath the bonnet. The battery is placed in the car's rear. With a maximum output of 75 kW and 200 Nm of torque the IBE is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.4 seconds and to reach a top speed of 160 km/h.
According to SEAT, the battery, with a capacity of 18 kWh, has enough range “to cover all the daily mobility requirements of city lifeâ€.
Other Information
The SEAT IBE makes part of a Spanish project for the promotion and development of electric mobility in Spain. The IBE is a first step in this research supported by the Spanish Ministry for Science and Innovation (CDTI).
