Used SEAT Ibiza for sale

What types of used SEAT Ibiza cars are there?

The SEAT Ibiza arrived on the scene back in 1984 and has seen some incredible upgrades and improvements since then.   

Its major upgrade was in 2015 when it received sharper overall looks and a high-quality interior. Since then, the Ibiza has gone on to rival the Volkswagen Polo and Ford Fiesta.    

Named after the Spanish party island, the Ibiza is an incredibly fun and youthful hatchback that offers a solid driving experience, a well-thought-out interior and decent boot space for its size.

What features does the SEAT Ibiza have?

The used SEAT Ibiza isn’t short of technology and comfort. All models come with a spacious interior offering plenty of legroom for rear passengers and decent roof height for taller passengers.    

In the standard SE models, you can expect to find an 8.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.    

However, if you upgrade to a higher trim such as the FR or Xcellence, you can expect to find a larger 9.2-inch touchscreen and a digital cockpit. 

Despite its size, the Ibiza has plenty of interior storage space, and has an impressive 355 litres of boot space as well as a flap that opens revealing more space underneath the boot. If you are familiar with the Volkswagen Polo, then you will be aware of its spectacular storage space.

How much does the SEAT Ibiza cost to run?

Who is the SEAT Ibiza suitable for?
