Seat has introduced an updated version of the Ibiza hatchback and its crossover sibling, the Arona. The most noticeable changes to the model have been made to the exterior and equipment.

The new hexagonal grille, updated full LED headlights and a revised front bumper transform the car's appearance. A new rear bumper, contrasting diffuser and dark lettering emphasize its width. Three new body color options – Liminal, Oniric and Hypnotic – expand the color palette. The updates are complemented by new wheel designs ranging from 15 to 18 inches.

The interior is distinguished by new materials and an updated design. A panoramic sunroof is available as an option. The multifunctional steering wheel is wrapped in perforated leather, and the FR trim features bucket seats with improved side support. Air vent surrounds are finished in contrasting colors.

The standard infotainment system includes an 8.25-inch display, while a 9.2-inch version is available as an option. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support wireless connectivity. Voice control, activated by the phrase "Hola, Hola," responds to simple commands. A 15W wireless charging feature with integrated cooling is supported, along with two USB-C ports. An audio system with a subwoofer and amplifier is available as an option.

Ibiza retains its lineup of petrol engines. Five versions are available, ranging from 59 kW (80 hp) to 110 kW (150 hp). Depending on the configuration, a five- or six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is offered. Rumor has it that a fully hybrid version will be added to the lineup in 2027. The suspension configuration remains unchanged: MacPherson struts at the front, and a torsion beam is used at the rear.

Seat Ibiza FR

The model is offered in three trims: Ibiza, Style, and FR. They differ in design, finishing materials, and standard equipment. The FR version features sporty elements, such as bucket seats, tinted windows, and optional 18-inch alloy wheels.

The prices for the updated Seat Ibiza and Arona have not yet been announced.
