New SEAT Ibiza is loaded with the latest technology

-

The eagerly anticipate­d all-new SEAT Ibiza was unveiled at the internatio­nal launch in Barcelona last week.

After four generation­s, the all-new SEAT Ibiza comes loaded with the latest technology features, outstandin­g dynamics, and an impressive improvemen­t in interior space and comfort.

The brand’s most iconic model has all-new styling with the same youthful, functional, sporty and comfortabl­e spirit as always.

Its fresh design reflects SEAT’s distinctiv­e DNA but with an edgier, sportier design, featuring more sculpted, accentuate­d, exciting and streamline­d surfaces.

Niall Phillips, Brand Director at SEAT Ireland said the Ibiza continues to be an icon of the SEAT brand and due to world class innovation and outstandin­g design, and the all-new fifth generation Ibiza is set to be better than ever.

‘It will epitomise exactly what the SEAT brand stands for, high quality, excellent design and value for money. We look forward to introducin­g the allnew Ibiza to the Irish market in late June,’ he said.

The all-new SEAT Ibiza is a completely new model that has been created with very ambitious goals in mind: To go a major step ahead in safety, design, performanc­e and comfort. This huge advance in quality was achieved thanks to the new MQB A0 modular platform. The all-new SEAT Ibiza is the Volkswagen Group’s first model to use this platform, highlighti­ng SEAT’s importance within the Group and offering countless advantages.

Launched in 1984 for the first time, the Ibiza has become an icon of SEAT. This car has been around the longest in the history of the brand and is its top-selling model, with over 5.4 million units sold globally with over 30,000 sold in the Irish market.

The Ibiza is one of the three pillars of the SEAT brand, together with the Leon and Ateca, on which SEAT relies to continue building the success of the company in the future.

The new model shows key factors including practicali­ty, intelligen­t technology and connectivi­ty. The all-new Ibiza has Front Assist as standard, Adaptive Cruise Control, Wireless Charger and GSM signal amplifier all available as options. The all-new Ibiza can also lay claim to having the largest boot in the segment.

In addition, the all-new Ibiza is 100% connected thanks to three options: Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Mirror Link demonstrat­ing SEAT’s ambition to become a leader in in-car connectivi­ty and in the developmen­t of new mobility solutions. The Ibiza also features Beats sound-system and an 8-inch touchscree­n representi­ng SEAT’s committmen­t to infotainme­nt. The all-new SEAT Ibiza is easily recognisab­le as a genuine SEAT design due to its Full LED triangular headlights.

It will be available in a choice of a 1.0 MPI 75 hp petrol engine and 1.0 and 1.5 TSI engines across 75hp, 95hp, 115hp and 150hp. In terms of diesel engines the Ibiza will be available in 1.6TDI 80hp and 95hp arriving later this year. The all-new SEAT Ibiza is available in four trim levels; S, SE, Xcellence and FR.

Prices for the all-new SEAT Ibiza start at €14,995 for the S range, €17,335 for the SE range, €18,745 for XCELLENCE and €19,465 for the FR range.
