Seat presented officially the fifth generation of the Ibiza, which adopts a more intense design. The new Ibiza is based on the new MQB A0 platform that the future generations of the Polo, A1 and Fabia will also use. The width of the car has grown by 87 mm, while its wheelbase is bigger by 95 mm.

The new Ibiza is offered solely as a five-door hatchback in four trim levels (Reference, Style, FR and XCelence). The FR version has a sportier character with slightly more aggressive bumpers and a sporty suspension, with the XCelence to be more luxurious.

It is available with a 1.0-liter turbo gasoline engine producing 95 and 115 hp in different versions and a new 1.5-liter TSI producing 150 hp.

In terms of diesel engines, it will be offered with a 1.6-liter TDI producing 80, 95 and 115 hp. The engines are available with manual 5-speed and 6-speed gearboxes and with a 7-speed DSG.
