Quick Summary

The Seat Ibiza is a stylish and practical five-door supermini, now in its fifth generation since 2017. Despite its long production run, it remains competitive thanks to sharp styling, keen pricing, generous equipment, and an engaging driving experience. A facelift at the end of 2025 brought revised exterior styling, upgraded interior materials, and an improved infotainment system, ensuring its continued relevance in the market.

It's renowned for its balanced driving dynamics, feeling stable on motorways yet responsive on country lanes, primarily powered by economical 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engines. Running costs are low due to efficient engines, low insurance groups, and affordable servicing, making it a compelling choice for those seeking good value.

Best for: Drivers seeking a stylish, practical, and economical supermini; those who value sharp styling and an engaging driving experience; buyers looking for good value and low running costs.
