The Ibiza and Arona receive design and technology updates

“The SEAT Ibiza has been a cornerstone of the brand’s success, with close to six million vehicles sold over its five generations, while the SEAT Arona is a clear pillar in the range, being the second most sold SEAT model last year,” said Wayne Griffiths, President of SEAT and CUPRA. “The updated models add to the vehicles’ incredible attributes to deliver an even more complete offering whilst refreshing the cars’ design.”

Our new SEAT Ibiza and Arona models have been unveiled with their new facelift. The Ibiza has been a key pillar of the brand's success since it was first introduced in 1984. After 37 years, five generations and nearly six million sales, it’s SEAT’s most successful vehicle to ever roll off the production line.

The SEAT Arona was introduced by the brand in 2017, since then the urban SUV has sold more than 350,000 vehicles globally and established itself as a key pillar in the brand's range.

Apple Carplay is now wireless in both models, quality improvements include the introduction of Nappa leather steering wheels and soft dashboards as standard. One new feature that does stand out is the vibrant colours that now surround the air vents with illumination on FR, XCELLENCE and XPERIENCE trims. Each trim has its own colour, which adds character into the interior.
