Eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-30 kamuva, i-Ibiza ikhona lapho ijika khona. Futhi SEAT futhi. Ngo-2016, inkampani yazuza imiphumela engcono kakhulu yezezimali emlandweni wayo, ngenzuzo yokusebenza ye-143 million euros. Futhi singakhomba umunwe kwabanye «abanecala» ngale miphumela… isizukulwane esisha sika-Leon kanye ne-Ateca entsha. Ukufika kwesizukulwane esisha se-SEAT Ibiza kufanele kusize ukuhlanganisa lokhu kukhula.
I-SEAT Ibiza entsha inokudingeka ukuze uhlale uyimpumelelo yokuthengisa. Kungani? Yilokho esizozama ukukuthola emigqeni embalwa elandelayo.
Ingabe sizoyibheka?
Ngaphambi kokuthi ngikutshele ukuthi imizwa yokuqala yayiyini ngemuva kwesondo le-SEAT Ibiza entsha, kufanelekile ukuyibhekisisa. Kuyi-Ibiza, akungabazeki ngakho. I-"DNA" yomkhiqizo ibonakala kakhulu kuzo zonke izindawo. Ngaphambili, amalambu angunxantathu e-Full LED namalambu agqamile emini enza i-Ibiza entsha ibonakale ngokushesha. Ibhonethi kanye ne-chrome grille kukhumbuza u-Leon - hhayi okungenani ngoba, njengoba sizobona kamuva, i-Ibiza "isikhulile" futhi isisondele kubukhulu "bomfowabo omdala". Ukufana no-Leon kungase kungafaneli wonke umuntu.
Uma ubheka iphrofayili ye-Ibiza, amasondo amane abekwe emaphethelweni omzimba agqamile, okwenza ukubukeka kwawo kube namandla futhi ezemidlalo. I-wheelbase emide kanye nomugqa ocwebezelayo ongaphezulu ugqamisa ubukhulu bemodeli, kuyilapho ukhalo olunwetshiwe olugijima bonke ubude bomsebenzi womzimba - okuhlanganisa imigqa ecijile nezindawo ezibushelelezi - kunikeza ubukhona obumangalisayo nobuthathu kulo lonke.
Ingxenye yomzimba wangemuva iseduze nesizukulwane sangaphambilini. Amalambu angemuva anomzimba owodwa azungeza imoto, ahlanganisa ukunwebeka kwama-mudguards, kanti imigqa eshayayo ye-trunk nobhampa iyenza ibonakale iqine kakhudlwana. Inguqulo ye-FR iletha imininingwane edwebela umlingisi wezemidlalo, njengamapayipi amabili angemuva ahlanganiswe ku-diffuser noma i-sporty grille yangaphambili. Ileveli ye-XCelence, yona, ithola imininingwane ye-chrome egcizelela ubukhona obucwengeke kakhudlwana nobuyinkimbinkimbi.
Masingene.
Ngaphakathi, umbono omuhle uhlala. I-SEAT Ibiza entsha inkulu, isikhala esiningi futhi ikhwalithi yokwakha nayo ithuthukile.
Nakuba uhlobo luhlala luqondise izethameli ezincane, ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ubukhulu bale Ibiza buzoyivumela ukuthi ithathe imisebenzi yomndeni. Epotimendeni le-Barcelona yayingekho indawo yesihlalo somntwana, kodwa lapho ngizama ePortugal ngithembisa ukuthatha isivivinyo (ngikhumbule, ngicela!). Ububanzi endaweni yabagibeli, isibonelo, bukhule bungama-55 mm kumshayeli kanye no-16 mm kumgibeli, kanti esihlalweni esingemuva bukhule ngo-35 mm nasekhanda ngo-17 mm. Izihlalo manje sezibanzi ngo-42mm.
Kulungile, ake siye ezinombolweni ezincane ezingabonakali… uma ngaphambi kokuthi umgibeli onamamitha angu-1.75 ethokomele kancane esihlalweni esingemuva, manje, e-Ibiza entsha, angahamba ngokukhululeka. Ngithathe isivivinyo (ngingu-1.74m), futhi kufakazelwa. Awukwazi ukweqa imilenze yakho uvule iphephandaba, kodwa kukhona indawo yokuthatha uhambo olude ngokunethezeka futhi okubaluleke nakakhulu… ngaphandle kokuhlala umile kulezo zitolo zemigwaqo emikhulu ezibizayo. “I-croquette nekhofi? Ngicela, ngu-€3.60.” Awu!?!?!
Indawo yokushayela ilungile, izihlalo zikhululekile futhi zisekelwe kahle. Angizange ngiyithande nje i-wheel rim diameter - ekugcineni kuzobe sekuwumkhuba.
Isiqu siphinde sakhula amalitha angama-63, safinyelela umthamo ophelele wamalitha angama-355 - okuyisilinganiso ekilasini. Indiza elayishayo nayo iphansi futhi kufanele sehlise izigqoko zethu enkampanini ngalokho. Akulula ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuhlanganisa izixazululo zokuklama nezici ezingokoqobo. I-SEAT ikwenzile.
Futhi ikhwalithi yokwakha? Okuqinile, akungabazeki. Ngaphakathi kwengxenye, i-SEAT Ibiza entsha ingenye yamamodeli asebenzisa izinto ezingcono kakhulu futhi umhlangano awunalutho, ngisho namamodeli avela engxenyeni engenhla. Qaphela Leon...
Ngiphinde ngathanda ukuma kwazo zonke izilawuli nezinsimbi, eziqondiswe kumshayeli futhi ngaphandle kokudinga ukuthi sisuse amehlo ethu emgwaqeni ukuze silawule imisebenzi eyisisekelo njengesiphephetha-moya. Enye imininingwane engiyithandile (ngize ngathi ngiyabonga ngokuzwakalayo!) Kwaba khona izinkinobho zomzimba zokulawula umsakazo - kukhona amamodeli enza ihaba imisebenzi yesikrini sokuthinta, akunjalo. Futhi uma sikhuluma ngohlelo lokuxhuma lwe-Full Link (enesikrini esingu-8-intshi), kufanele kushiwo ukuthi uhlelo lulula kakhulu futhi lusebenziseka kalula.
Ukuhlanganiswa nama-smartphones kuqinisekiswa kuzo zonke izinguqulo - ezinguqulweni ezihlome kakhudlwana kukhona ngisho “nokhaphethi” wokushaja okungenantambo, okuthi ngenxa yesistimu yokushaja yokungeniswa kuqede izintambo esihlala sizilahlekela (akufanele sibe sodwa kulokhu…). Ngokuqhubeka nendikimba yokuxhumana, i-SEAT izimisele ngokuba ngolunye lwemikhiqizo ehamba phambili kulolu daba nasekuthuthukisweni kwezixazululo ezintsha zokuhamba ngomqondo we-Connected Car. I-SEAT Ibiza entsha ingesinye isinyathelo kule ndlela.
Esondweni
Indawo yokushayela ilungile, izihlalo zikhululekile futhi zisekelwe kahle. Angizange ngithande ukujula kwerimu lesiteringi – ekugcineni kuzogcina sekuwumkhuba. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, umuzwa wesiteringi, u-gearbox (ezinguqulweni ezino-gearbox oshintshwayo) nama-pedals ulungile.
Kufanele sikhulume "ngendlovu ekamelweni": ngeke kube khona inguqulo ye-Cupra.
Iqiniso liwukuthi bengingeke ngiqale ukushintsha kwami kokushayela ngenguqulo engcono ukuze ngihlole amandla e-Ibiza entsha “ngokugcwele”. Ngokwemvelo ngikhuluma nge-150hp SEAT Ibiza FR 1.5 TSI entsha enebhokisi le-DSG7. Namanje ngaphakathi kwedolobha lase-Barcelona futhi esimweni esizolile, kwase kwenzeka kakade ukuqaphela izinsizakalo ze-platform entsha ye-MQB A0 - i-Ibiza yayinelungelo lokukhipha lesi sigcawu esisha seVolkswagen Group. I-Ibiza entsha izizwa iqinile ngendlela ebhekana ngayo nazo zonke izinhlobo zamaphansi. Futhi kungenxa yala mandla esakhiwo ukuthi i-suspension ikwazi ukudlala indima yayo kahle.
Elinye iphuzu elibalulekile uhlelo lokuqondisa lwe-C-EPS (Column Electric Power System) olunosizo lwe-electromechanical, oludlala indima yalo ngokuziqhenya ekudluliseleni impendulo kumshayeli. I-suspension ngaphambili iwuhlobo lweMcPherson kanti ngemuva i-semi-rigid axle. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinguqulo ze-FR zinikeza inketho yesethi ye-shock absorbers enokulawula kwe-elekthronikhi evumela ukukhethwa kwezilungiselelo ezimbili kusuka ku-cabin (Ejwayelekile Nezemidlalo). Ngeluleka ngokuqinile le nketho uma ukhetha inguqulo ye-FR.
Kumodi "evamile", ukunethezeka kokushayela kuyagqama, kumodi "yezemidlalo" i-Ibiza FR ithatha uhlamvu olusha futhi sesibe uzakwethu omuhle wesigaba sezintaba.
Ubuntu obubili?
Kusuka e-Ibiza FR ngigxume ngqo "kumfowabo" u-Ibiza XCellence. Mayelana nemishini, lezi zinguqulo ezimbili ngesikhathi esisodwa zihlala phezulu kwebanga le-Ibiza.
Ku-Ibiza XCellence, ukuma kwe-sportier kwe-Ibiza FR kunikeza indlela yokuma okucwengekile. Umehluko obonakalayo ngaphandle (umklamo), ngaphakathi (izinto zokusebenza) kanye nokuma emgwaqeni (ukumiswa okulungiselelwe ukunethezeka okukhulu kanye namathayi aphezulu). Ubukhali obugobile be-XCellence buncane, kodwa umuzwa wokunethezeka ebhodini mkhulu. Singakhuluma nge-Ibiza enobuntu obukabili… kukuwe ukuthi ukhethe inguqulo ehlangabezana kangcono nezidingo zakho.
Angikholwa ukuthi ngizobhala lokhu kodwa… ngikhethe i-XCelence. Noma mhlawumbe ukusondelana kwabantu abaneminyaka engu-32 abakhuluma kakhulu. Inguqulo ye-115 hp 1.0 TSI isebenza kahle futhi ichitha kancane. Siphrinta kalula isigqi esigqwayizayo kule nguqulo. Izinguqulo ze-Diesel zisazohlolwa, okuthi, uma kubhekwa ikhono elikhulayo lezinjini ezintsha zikaphethiloli, zenza umqondo omncane. Vele wenze izibalo.
izinjini
Ngeke ngikutshele mayelana nokuzwakala kwesondo lezinhlobo zeDizili, ngoba njengoba ngishilo, ngishayela kuphela izinhlobo zikaphethiloli. Kodwa kukhona izinjini zakho konke ukunambitheka kanye nesabelomali. Ukuqala ngenjini engu-1.0 enama-75 hp ehlongozwayo ngama-euro ayi-15,355 amahle. Nakuba ngama-euro angu-600 ngaphezulu, i-SEAT iphakamisa injini ethakazelisa kakhulu, i-1.0 TSI enama-95 hp. Ngokubona kwami, i-chassis enekhono ye-Ibiza ifanelwe injini ene-"soul" eyengeziwe futhi injini ye-atmospheric engu-75 hp kufanele iphuthelwe. Umbono ongenakho ukuxhumana nemodeli emazweni asePutukezi.
Izinguqulo zikadizili ziqala kuma-euro angu-20,073 (Reference 1.6 TDI of 95hp) futhi zikhuphukele ku-23,894 euros (FR 1.6 TDI of 115hp). Ungabheka uhlu lwamanani olugcwele lapha.
Ake siye "endlovu ekamelweni"? Iqiniso. Ngeke ibe khona inguqulo ye-Cupra. Ngangivele ngizifundile lezi zindaba kwamanye amawebhusayithi ngamazwe, kodwa kwadingeka ngibhekane nezikhulu ze-SEAT ngombuzo: ingabe kuzoba ne-SEAT Ibiza Cupra entsha noma cha? Impendulo yayiwukuthi “cha” onamandla. Kwakungeyona into ethi “ake sicabange”, “ake sizindle”, akukho kulokho… kwakungumjikelezo othi “cha”. Kungani? Ngoba ngokwalabo abanesibopho se-SEAT, izinga lokusebenza lenguqulo ye-FR selivele liphezulu kakhulu. Ukwethula inguqulo ye-Cupra ye-Ibiza yamanje kuzoyiphoqa ukuthi idlule ku-200 hp. Futhi uma lokho kwenzeka, sizongena ekwenyukeni kwamanani okuthi, ngokohlobo, ambalwa amakhasimende azimisele ukukhokha.
Kuyihlazo, ngoba ikhono lenguqulo ye-FR lisishiya sicabanga: "Futhi i-Ibiza ingaba kanjani kunguqulo ye-Cupra". Ngeke siyazi impendulo...
