Is the Seat Leon Ecomotive ultra-efficient?

That's a good question ...... and the last time I check I found that the SEAT Leon Ecomotive is ultra efficient.

Seat launched its first production Green car, the Seat Ibiza last year, and has applied the same technology to its five-door family hatchback to create the Seat Leon Ecomotive.

Electricity, bioethanol and hydrogen are just three of the alternative fuel sources manufacturers are developing as an alternative to the big two energy sources – diesel and petrol.

But some car makers believe there is life in the old combustion engine yet and that increasing efficiencies in conjunction with other measures, can form the basis for pleasurable, economical and environmentally-friendly motoring.

Last year the Volkswagen Polo Bluemotion was launched amid a fanfare of publicity heralding its impressively frugal fuel consumption – quickly followed by a Golf model, and we can also expect to see the Ford Focus Econetic advance environmentally-friendly motoring for Britain’s best-selling car.
