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 life”.
