There is a 50 year difference between the #seat 850 and the new Ibiza. Five decades have gone by from the car that was made as an improvement to the #seat 600 and the brand’s highly iconic car, of which nearly five and a half million have been sold after being on the market continuously for more than 32 years. After all this time, cars have evolved in many ways:
Boot space: when only two small suitcases would fit
The #seat Ibiza has up to 430 litres of boot capacity. The boot on the 850, however, only holds 175 litres, leaving barely enough room for two small suitcases. In addition, it is located at the front of the vehicle. Boots are currently positioned at the rear, which is better suited “for comfort as well as for safety”, says Isidre López, head of the #seat Historic Car collection.
Car body: from being able to touch the passenger #seat window with an outstretched arm to not even coming close
A common characteristic of today’s cars is a very resistant car body to protect the occupants. “It deforms so that the least possible amount of energy from an impact reaches the passenger compartment”. The interior space is also important. “On the 850, you can touch the passenger side window from the driver’s #seat with an outstretched arm”. The Ibiza, on the other hand, is 18 centimetres wider, which increases the sense of safety.
