The new 2017 SEAT Ibiza is now available to order in the United Kingdom with a choice of five trim levels and four petrol engines, starting at just £13,130. The refreshed Ibiza comes only as a five-door hatchback featuring remarkable improvements in style, quality, performance, handling, refinement and technology over its predecessor.

The 2017 SEAT Ibiza is based on Volkswagen Group MQB A0 platform which is as good as it gets for such a car, resulting not ony in a rigid chassis that begets good handling, but also spacious interior and compact exterior. The Ibiza complements this underpinning with a sporty and edgy design that is unlike anything else in this segment, and a cool new 1.0-litre three-cylinder unit with 75, 95 or 115 PS. There is also a 150PS 1.5 EVO engine available, with a number of diesel options to be added later in the year.
