Seat have started taking orders for the new
generation Ibiza. The new Spanish supermini will be available
in four trim levels: Reference, Style, FR, and Xcellence, aiming to rival
models like the Renault Clio, Ford Fiesta and Opel/Vauxhall Corsa among others.
Thanks to the adoption of the new MWB A0 platform,
it's also more spacious than its predecessor, featuring a 95 mm longer wheelbase
and 355 liters of luggage space.
The 2017 Seat Ibiza is also tech friendly and comes
packed with either a 5-inch or an 8-inch touchscreen display, smartphone
integration with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink, wireless charger
and a Beats 300W premium sound system, in addition to a wide list of driver
assistance systems.
As far as the engine lineup goes, the new Seat Ibiza
can be had with an entry-level 75 PS MPI engine, or with a 1.0-liter
3-cylinder TSI with 95 PS or 115 PS. Seat plans to offer a 90
PS version powered by compressed natural gas and a 1.5-liter TSI
version with 150 PS later down the line.
Diesel lovers are offered the 1.6-liter TDI in three
different power outputs: 80 PS, 95 PS and 115 PS,
which in turn can be had with either a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual or
7-speed DSG automatic transmission.
Despite announcing the opening of the order books
for the all-new Ibiza, Seat has yet to reveal any pricing info, with pre-sales
said to start progressively in selected markets next week and the first
deliveries taking place in June.
