Seat Ibiza
Seat has just unveiled the most important new model in the Spanish carmaker's recent history: the all-new Ibiza five-door supermini. The newcomer marks the start of a major product offensive from the ambitious Spanish brand which will also see the debut of further Ibiza variants, as well as new sedan and wagon variants in the upper medium segment.
Designed by renowned ex-Lamborghini stylist Luc Donckerwolke, the new car is longer than the current model, measuring 4.05m versus the existing car's 3.97m, The new model is also claimed to be more capacious too, with improved rear seat legroom and a larger 292-liter trunk with the rear seats in place. Built on a new version of Seat's 'agile chassis' its front and rear tracks are 30mm and 33mm wider respectively, giving the car a more assuredly 'planted' look.
The Ibiza five-door will initially be offered with three petrol engine options: a 1.2-liter three cylinder; 1.4-litre four-cylinder or 1.6-liter four-cylinder. A direct-injection TDI Ibiza will join the range at a later date.
