The Ibiza is SEAT’s most compact hatchback, sitting behind the larger Leon and the Arona crossover in the manufacturer’s range. And with an energetic, youthful exterior, as well as punchy three-cylinder petrol engines, the SEAT Ibiza is a major rival to other small hatches like the Volkswagen Polo, Skoda Fabia, Vauxhall Corsa, and Renault Clio.

Seat Ibiza Hatchback review

It was only a couple of years ago that strong rumours were circulating suggesting the SEAT brand’s days were numbered . But fast forward to October 2025, and SEAT has hit back with a long-term plan that sees modifications to the Ibiza and Arona models, along with mild hybrid versions arriving in 2027, a full-hybrid Leon in 2028 and a complete refresh to the Leon line-up in 2029.

So, it would seem SEAT has its future mapped out, although there was no mention or answers to any questions regarding the Ateca SUV. Time will tell if it will be continued or if SEAT will let other big-hitters within the VW Group cover that sector.

We jetted off to Ibiza, of course, to test out the latest 2026 Ibiza which has been given a mild makeover, for the second time, in an attempt to freshen up the fifth-generation model launched back in 2017.

Prices have not been completely finalised yet, but are unlikely to rise significantly and customers have a choice of powertrains and trims to choose from. The car is expected to cost from £20,995 and the Ibiza features a three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine with differing power outputs of 80PS, 95PS or 115PS, and it can be matched to a manual or automatic gearbox. Elsewhere in Europe, there is a 1.5-litre option, but that’s not coming to the UK.

Trim-wise, there is the choice of SE, SE Tech, FR First Edition and FR Sport. We opted for the Ibiza First Edition with the more powerful 115PS direct injection engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission. But did it put us in the mood to party or leave us feeling rather flat?

I had a great experience and good customer service from Garry Rahman, from the moment I enquired for a car quotation to delivery. He is professional, respectful and answered all my questions very patiently. There was no pressure to take a decision in haste which I really liked. He explained all my options clearly and made the entire car buying experience smooth and hassle free. I definitely recommend Garry to anyone who is looking to buy a car. Thank you Garry.

This is the third lease company I’ve used, but in terms of the ordering process, the communication, the documentation and the speed of delivery I would have to place Select first for customer service. I also secured a great price (for a Hyundai Tucson) as well as having the flexibility of not needing to pay a deposit, which made the deal very attractive. However, I’m fully aware that you can’t truly judge a car leasing company until the end of the contract when the car is being returned, as that is what genuinely separates one leasing company from another. On that basis, my rating is based on the relationship to date. The delivery of the car itself was one area where I have experienced a superior service from another lease company. The company in question would deliver their cars on a transporter so the cars were delivered to my house in immaculate condition with something like 20 miles on the clock. The car I received a few days ago was driven about 100 miles to my home, on a rainy day in December, so it was handed over to me dirty. A relatively minor point.
