SEAT Ibiza hatchback 2015 pictures

It's been on sale since 2008, but a series of updates have kept it fresh and competitive

The Ibiza is available with peppy petrol and efficient diesel engines

Mechanical underpinnings are shared with the VW Polo, Skoda Fabia and Audi A1

LED running lights and foglights are featured from the SE trim level up

The Ibiza's interior is starting to lag behind more modern rivals, but it's still solid and well laid-out

The Connect model comes with a good amount of in-car technology

Both manual and DSG twin-clutch automatic gearboxes are offered for the Ibiza
