Fold the seats down and the boot floor is nearly completely flat. It's more spacious than the Ford Fiesta’s and has a large square opening so it’s fairly easy to load large items. The Ibiza’s boot is an impressive size for a small car. The SEAT Ibiza is not perfect but it’s a really good small car with a neat, tidy interior and a decent boot The SEAT Ibiza is pretty spacious for a small car – there’s a fair amount of legroom and even six-footers will have headroom to spare. You won’t hear too many complaints from those in the back. Mid-range cars and above receive a chunky 9.2-inch touchscreen that also brings sat nav, while top models finally bring fully digital instruments to the Ibiza range.

The front seats come with a decent range of adjustment as standard, but no models are offered with the option of lumbar support to ease backache on long drives, and you only get a front centre armrest in high-spec models.Įntry-level cars ditch the previously tiny centre information screen – it was so small it looked like a mid-2000s phone – and get a proper 8.0-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, DAB Radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to connect your smartphone and mirror its apps on the screen. It’s a shame the door trim is still so plasticky, though. It doesn’t sound like much, but it does liven things up quite a bit inside, while surfaces feel nicer to the touch. There’s a big strip of silver dash trim, which combines with some coloured air vents, a soft-touch upper dash, new infotainment screens and a new steering wheel. However, where the old car’s pretty body was cashing cheques its dull cabin couldn’t cash, the revised one has more substance inside as well. It’s so pleasing on the eye, in fact, that an update in 2021 saw very little change on the outside. In the world of small hatchbacks, the SEAT Ibiza is undeniably attractive, with its chiselled design and perfect proportions.
