Updated exterior design

The new SEAT Ibiza and SEAT Arona introduce a series of exterior upgrades that give both models a sharper and more modern appearance in comparison to previous models.  

Up front, both the Ibiza and Arona feature redesigned grilles and slimmer LED headlights for a more focused look. The new Ibiza now showcases a striking hexagonal grille with diamond-shaped mesh, while the Arona’s larger grille and revised black lower bumper accents create a more confident SUV design.

The alloy wheel designs have also been refreshed, with new 16” - 18" options in painted and machined finishes. On FR trims, new details such as laser-etched B-pillar logos, dark aluminium badging, and black mirror caps add a sportier edge compared with previous models. 

There’s also greater scope for personalisation, with eye‑catching new colours including Liminal Red, Oniric Grey, and Hypnotic Yellow, as well as contrasting roof options available on selected versions.

Interior and technology upgrades

Step inside and its clear SEAT has focused on making both cabins feel more stylish, more comfortable, and more fun to be in. Soft-touch materials, redesigned trims, and more refined finishes create a more premium feel across both models.

The new Ibiza features a black‑finished headliner, embossed textile seats, and illuminated air vents to create a sporty yet playful interior. In the Arona, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, thoughtfully designed seat textiles, and subtle LED air vent surrounds create a cabin that feels practical yet refined.

Technology has also taken a step forward. Both models feature a floating infotainment screen - available in 8.25‑inch or 9.2‑inch sizes - positioned high within the driver’s line of sight for easy access on the move. Digital displays provide crisp, clear information, with larger Digital Cockpit options available on selected trims. 

And when it comes to space, both models deliver. The Ibiza offers up to 355 litres of boot space, while the Arona ups the versatility with up to 400 litres, flexible rear seating, and a handy double boot floor. 

An upgraded driving experience

Behind the wheel, the SEAT Ibiza and SEAT Arona continue to impress with an engaging yet easy‑going driving experience. A range of efficient petrol engines deliver responsive performance alongside everyday economy, making both cars ideal for urban streets, country roads, and longer trips alike.

Both models benefit from finely tuned chassis systems that help make every journey comfortable and controlled. The Ibiza’s lower stance gives it a nimble, agile feel that’s perfect for drivers who enjoy a sporty edge, while the Arona’s raised ride height and elevated seating position provide improved visibility and added confidence. Selectable driving modes allow you to adapt steering, throttle response, and gearbox behaviour to suit your mood or the road ahead.
