2018 Seat Ibiza (render)
The replacement of the
Seat Ibiza is expected to make its debut next spring, probably during the 2017
Geneva Motor Show, and go on sale in July. The test cars
continue to keep their design carefully tucked away under a thick layer of
vinyl, but its overall design is said to mirror the design of the larger Leon.
A more premium cabin is also on the agenda, and
space is believed to be improved throughout the interior thanks to the use of
the MQB A Zero architecture, which will be eventually adopted by future
versions of the Volkswagen Polo and Skoda Fabia as well.
Some of
the engine lineup will be shared with the latter two models, and this will
include VW Group's latest four-cylinder turbocharged petrol and diesel units,
along with the 1.0-liter three-cylinder.
Seat is also getting ready to roll out a crossover
based on the new supermini. It will be known as the Arona, as the automaker
announced a couple of months ago and, in turn, it will share many parts with
the upcoming VW Polo-based SUV and take on subcompact SUVs such as the Nissan
Juke and Peugeot 2008.
