Seat releases the first official images of the Ibiza hatchback after its mid-life restyling. The front-end is the area that shows the most significant changes, with completely redesigned front bumper, grill and head lights (now with integrated LED day running lights). The rear end instead has been subjected to just some subtle change, something that can be said about the cabin as well, with the exception of a new instrumentation cluster and the addition of some new color option. It is safe to say that the design of new Ibiza has been heavily influenced by the latest Seat concept cars, namely the compact crossover IBX and the coupe IBe.

As for the the engine range, we have a 1.2-litre TSI engine available in power steps of 60 and 105 hp, and 1.4-litre TSI delivering 150 hp and capable of pushing the little Spanish/German hatch from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7,8 seconds, achieving a maximum speed of 212 km/h (132 mph). Completing the range there are a 75hp 1.2 E-Ecomotive unit and a 2.0 litre TDI producing 143 hp. The restyled Seat Ibiza is scheduled to make its debut in March at the Geneva Motor Show.
