TheSEAT Ibizais asuperminicar that has been manufactured by Spanish car manufacturerSEATsince 1984. It is SEAT's best-selling car.[2]The Ibiza is named after the Spanish island ofIbizaand was the second SEAT model to be named after a Spanish location, after theSEAT Málaga.It was introduced at the 1984Paris Motor Showas the first car developed by SEAT as an independent company, although it was designed by SEAT in collaboration with well-known firms includingItaldesign,Karmann,andPorsche.[2]
From the second-generation version onwards, SEAT formed part of the Germanautomotive industryconcernVolkswagen Group.All subsequent Ibiza generations, and the rest of the SEAT model range, incorporated Volkswagen Group platforms, parts, and technologies.
The Ibiza spans five generations, among which it has debuted twice (in its second and in its fourth generations) a new platform of the Volkswagen Group. All of them were the top-selling model in SEAT's product line.
The Ibiza is now available only in five-doorhatchbackvariants; between 1993 and 2008,saloon,coupé,andestateversions were sold as theSEAT Córdoba.In 2010, an estate version, called Ibiza ST, was launched.

Introduced at the 1984Paris Motor Show,theSEAT Ibiza Mk1(codenamed021A) entered production on the 'Zona Franca' assembly lines on 27 April 1984[3]and proved to be a success for the Spanish manufacturer, as it sold 1,342,001 units prior to the launch of the second-generation Ibiza in 1993.[2]The Ibiza's sales success gave the SEAT marque a platform to build on, as it looked to increase sales in following years.
This version, while it established the now classic Ibiza shape, was advertised as having "Italian styling and German engines": its bodywork was designed byGiorgetto Giugiaro'sItaldesign,[4]and it was prepared for industrialisation by the German manufacturerKarmann.[3]It was based on theSEAT Ronda,asmall family car,which in turn was based on theFiat Ritmo.The gearbox andpowertrainwere developed in collaboration withPorsche,thus named under licenceSystem Porsche.Despite Porsche's direct involvement in the Ibiza's engines, it was only after paying a royalty of seven German marks per car sold back to Porsche that SEAT gained the right to put the 'System Porsche' inscription on the engine blocks.[5]
By the time Giugiaro was assigned to the Ibiza project, his previous proposal for the second generation of theVolkswagen Golfhad been rejected byVolkswagen.So when SEAT approached him with the proposal for a spacious supermini-class contender, that particular project was reincarnated as the first generation of the SEAT Ibiza.[6]
Using acompact caras a basis, it was larger than mostsuperminislike theFord FiestaandOpel Corsa/Vauxhall Nova,but smaller than small family cars such as theFord EscortandOpel Kadett/Vauxhall Astra.The luggage capacity started from 320 litres, or 1,200 litres after folding rear seats.
It was launched in theUnited Kingdommarket in September 1985, along with the Málaga saloon. It largely competed with budget offerings like theHyundai Pony,and gave budget buyers a more modern alternative to the outdated offerings fromLada,Škoda,Yugo,andFSO.After a slow start, sales picked up and reached the 10,000-per-year milestone by the end of the decade.
The interior space was good[according to whom?]but the styling was fairly unimaginative even though it was known for having a rather quirky interior instrument layout, marked by a lack of control stalks. The indicators were operated by arocker-switch,and the headlights by a sliding switch. It had three principal trim levels (L, GL, and GLX) with body styles of 3 and 5 doors and several versions including Base, Special, Disco, Chrono, Designer, Fashion, and SXi.[6]As power outputs dropped due to more stringent emissions requirements, a 1.7-litre version of the engine was developed for the Sportline version. For the same reason, a 109 PS (80 kW) turbocharged version of the 1.5-litre engine was developed for the Swiss market and presented in March 1989.[7]
In the meantime, SEAT had already signed a cooperation agreement with Volkswagen (1982), and in 1986, the German car maker became SEAT's major shareholder. The Ibiza Mark 1 received a very light restyling in early 1989 with a moderate exterior face lift, an entirely new, less radical interior, and many mechanical modifications.[8]This is referred to as the second series, although it can be hard to distinguish from the original. Most obvious is the shift from a black plastic grille with seven bars to one with four body-coloured ones, with some models receiving new side moldings. The interior was all new, with new seats and a new steering wheel, while the gearbox was thoroughly redesigned, and the brakes and steering improved.[9]At the time, the Ibiza was being produced at a rate of 1,100 cars per day, and the cumulative production had reached a half million.[8]
A more thorough restyling was launched in 1991 under the nameNew style,although by now an all-new Ibiza was being developed.
The following year, in February 1992, SEAT launched the Ibiza "Serie Olímpica" to celebrate SEAT's participation in the1992 Olympic GamesinBarcelonaas a sponsor, and the SEAT Ibiza Mk1 along with the SEAT Toledo Mk1 became the official cars of the Games.

Motorsport
[edit]The SEAT Ibiza Mk1 took part in several rally events and formed the basis on which the Campeonato SEAT Ibiza de Rallies was organised by theSEAT Sportdivision in 1985,[14]however its most notable rally version has been the all-wheel-driveIbiza Bimotor,manufactured in 1986 and equipped with two engines, each delivering power to one axle.[15]
Rebadges
[edit]In 1997, the Ibiza Mk1 design license was bought by a joint venture between Chinese automakerNanjing Automobile Groupand Malaysia'sLion Group.In June 1999, it entered production as the Eagle, and was redeveloped andrebadgedinto theNanjing Yuejin Soyatin the late 2003.[16]Chinese Ibiza production came to a final end in 2008, after another facelift in 2007.
Derivatives
[edit]The Spanish companyEmelbaproduced two derivatives of the SEAT Ibiza Mk1: a pickup truck version, and the Emelba Siete, a 7-seat MPV derivative.

TheIbiza Mk2(Typ6K) was the first Ibiza generation fully developed and produced underVolkswagen Groupownership. Its platform variant was based on theVolkswagen Polo 6NandVolkswagen Golf Mk3.In the interior, the pre-facelift Ibiza 6K shared its dashboard with many other models from SEAT and Volkswagen, such as the SEAT Córdoba Mk1, the Volkswagen Polo Classic, theSEAT Inca,theVolkswagen Polo Mk3,and others.
This Ibiza was available in three- and five-doormodels; thesaloon/coupévariant was known as theSEAT Córdoba,and theestatewas known as the SEAT Córdoba Vario. The Ibiza was regularly the best-selling car in Spain and sold relatively well in the rest of Europe, helping SEAT increase its sales figures significantly from 1993 onwards.
Before the facelift, the trim levels were i, CL, CLX, GLX, Pasion, S, and GTI.

1999 facelift
[edit]The 1999 Ibiza Mk2 facelift (Typ6K2,also known as6K GP01,and sometimes referred to in the UK as the Mk3) was the second Ibiza to be produced underVolkswagen Groupmanagement. In addition to a revised front and rear end, new styling cues were added, such as the tailgate-mounted SEAT badge that doubled as a boot release switch when pushed. In the interior, the changes included a newly designed dashboard along with new door panels. The launch of the Cupra models, along with success inrallying,gave it a much stronger, sporty image, which helped align SEAT vis-à-vis the Volkswagen Group's recently acquired budget brandŠkoda Auto.
The Ibiza's 1.05-, 1.4-, 1.6-, and 1.8-litrepetrol,and 1.9-litreTurbocharged Direct Injection(TDI) andSuction Diesel Injection(SDI)diesel engineswere the same as those used in the Volkswagen Polo. The Ibiza'spowertrainand running gear were also used in theSEAT Córdobasaloon, estate, and coupé.
Under Volkswagen's ownership, SEAT was marketed as a sporty and youthful brand whose cars were sold at competitive prices. The available trim levels were Entry, S, SE, SX, Award, Stella, Signo, Sport (1.8T 20V 156 PS), Cupra, and Cupra R.
SEAT later introduced a morepowerfulhot hatch,dubbed Cupra, equipped with aturbocharged1.8-litre engine, followed by the Cupra R, of which only 200 units were produced.[citation needed]The main difference between the two weresuspension,Brembofour-opposed piston frontdisc brakecalipers, and a power upgrade from 156 PS (115 kW; 154 bhp) to 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) on the Cupra R model.
By the time production of the second generation Ibiza/Córdoba ceased during 2002, the range had established itself as one of the most popular superminis in Europe of the past decade, having sold 1,522,607 cars from 1993 to 2002.

Motorsport
[edit]SEAT was not involved in theWorld Rally Championshipafter the1977 season,until 1995, when, after an 18-year gap, they returned with an Ibiza 1.8-litre 16v driven by Erwin Weber in theRally of Portugal,in the two-wheel-drive category. That same year, Weber won first place in the two-wheel-drive category in theAcropolis Rally,with Antonio Rius in second place. The Copa Ibiza 16V also made its debut that year.[14]The successes of the 1995 season encouraged SEAT to participate the following year in the World Rally Championship in the 2.0-litre engine category, with the SEAT Ibiza Kit Car, a decision which proved to be successful as SEAT won the 1996FIA 2-Litre World Rally Cuptitle, becoming the first brand to win the world title in its debut year.SEAT Sportin the next two seasons reaffirmed its domination, winning 2.0-litre WRC championship titles in 1997 and 1998, with driversHarri Rovanperä,Oriol Gómez,Toni Gardemeister,Jörgen Jonasson, andGwyndaf Evans.

TheIbiza Mk3(Typ6L) was the second Ibiza generation to be fully produced underVolkswagen Groupownership. Built on the samePQ24 platformas theVolkswagen Polo Mk4(Typ9N), it was styled by the Italian designerWalter de Silvato have a sporty, performance image. The model lineup included twohot hatchvariants, the Ibiza FR and Cupra, which compensated for the lack of Polo hot hatch variants (the Polo GTI wasn't launched until 2006).
Its production was initially focused in SEAT's main plant in Martorell, Spain, however in September 2002 a decision was taken by the Volkswagen Group that a part of the production (up to 50,000 units annually) would be transferred to Volkswagen's plant in Bratislava, Slovakia.
Apart from the more aggressive styling, it was larger than the previous two generations, with room for five adults, and a spacious (if rather short) boot. The standard trim level on this model was noticeably higher than previous models. This was regarded by some magazines to be the best supermini, withWhat Car?magazine calling it "Car of the Year" in 2003, and their "Supermini of the Year" for three years in a row.[22]
The SEAT Ibiza Mk3 was also used for several purposes, from police cars to rally cars.
The Ibiza Mk3 pre-facelift model was available with the Award, S, SX, Stylance, Reference, Signo, Stella, Sport, FR, and Cupra R trim levels.
The facelifted third generation Ibiza was made from 2006 to 2008. In 2006, slight cosmetic changes were made to both the interior and exterior, but otherwise the model was very similar to the original Mk3. New trim levels were introduced in 2006 as well: Reference, Stylance, Freerider, Sportrider, Sport, DAB Sport (2006 limited edition), Formula Sport (2007 limited edition), FR, and Cupra, as well as engines with increased power (1.2-litre 12v and 1.4-litre 16v) and a new 1.4-litre TDI diesel version. The FR and Cupra R TDI versions used a 1.9-litrePumpe-Düsediesel enginewith 130 PS (96 kW; 128 bhp) and 160 PS (118 kW; 158 bhp) respectively. The top petrol versions used a 1.8-litre 20v turbo engine with 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) for the FR model and 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) for the Cupra R model. The Ibiza Cupra R TDI and Cupra R 1.8T versions were the top models of the brand, hot hatches designed to compete with rivals in the front-wheel-drive hot hatch segment. There were also two special editions of the Ibiza Cupra R. The first one was called Nürburgring Edition (2006–2007), distinguished by black painted side mirrors and a "Nürburgring" inscription on the door panels. The second was the Last Edition (2008 only) with a new interior logo on the front seats and the gear knob.

Chronology | |
Successor | SEAT Arona(for Ibiza ST) |
TheIbiza Mk4(Typ6J) was previewed at the2008 Geneva Motor Showin the form of theBocanegra concept car.[26]It was styled by the Belgian car designerLuc Donckerwolkewith a distinctive "arrow design", dispensing with the basic Ibiza design language that had been in place since the 1984 original. It was the first among otherVolkswagen Groupmodels (Volkswagen Polo Mk5andAudi A1) to use the latestVolkswagen Group PQ25 platformin the segment ofsupermini cars,[27][28][29][30]
The model range featured a 5-door hatchback, a 3-door version, and a 5-door estate; the latter was added in Q4 2010.
The new model first went on sale in the summer of 2008, in the 5-door format,[31]followed by a 3-door variant, marketed as the Ibiza SportCoupé or Ibiza SC. An Ibiza Ecomotive model, powered by an 80PS(59kW;79bhp), 1.4-litrediesel engineemitting 98 g/km of CO2,was launched late in 2008.[32]
High-performance Ibiza FR, Cupra, and Bocanegra models were launched in June 2009.[33]The Ibiza FR was powered by a 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) 1.4-litre TSItwincharger(turboandsupercharger) engine with a seven-speedDirect-Shift Gearbox(DSG),[34]while the Ibiza Cupra and Bocanegra have the samepowertraintuned to 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp).[35]
In January 2010, SEAT introduced, for the first time in the Volkswagen Group on the Ibiza's specific platform, the 2.0-litre TDI Diesel engine in both a SportCoupe and a five-door Ibiza FR specification. The 2.0 TDI boasts 143 PS (105 kW; 141 bhp) and an average consumption of 4.6 L/100 km (61 mpg‑imp;51 mpg‑US).[36][37]
In September 2010, the Ibiza's SportCoupe and 5-door variants were extended with the addition of the new 1.2-litre TSI 105 PS (77 kW; 104 bhp) engine.[38]
A special version of the Ibiza Mk4, called "25th anniversary", was presented at the Barcelona Motor Show in 2009, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Ibiza.[39]
There were many different trim levels for the Ibiza Mk4.[40]From 2009 onwards, the SEAT Ibiza was used exclusively by the UK-basedYoung Driver Scheme.The Young Driver Scheme uses a mixture of the SportsCoupe and 5-door variants, powered by the 1.2-litre engine.[41]
In July 2010, a revised Ibiza Ecomotive was announced, powered by a 75 PS (55 kW; 74 bhp) 1.2-litre TDIcommon raildiesel engine with CO2emissions of 89 g/km.[42]
Facelift
[edit]The facelift model was launched at the2012 Geneva Motor Show,and sales began shortly thereafter. The facelift consisted of a light exterior and interior refresh.
Ibiza ST
[edit]A 5-doorestate carvariant, the Ibiza ST, was announced in March 2010, at theGeneva Motor Show.[43]
The preview of the Ibiza ST was shown at the2009 Frankfurt Motor Showin the form of the IBZconcept car.[44]
The Ibiza ST was 4.23 m (167 in) long, which increased the boot volume to 430 litres. Two new engine options were introduced with this model, a 105 PS 1.2-litre TSI (petrol) and a 75 PS 1.2-litre TDI diesel.[45]
Ibiza CONNECT
[edit]The CONNECT model was presented at the2015 Frankfurt Motor Show[46]and was equipped with Full Link connectivity technology and the SEAT ConnectApp. This app allowed the user's smartphone to be connected to the car's infotainment system and to use connectivity features. The SEAT Ibiza CONNECT had a range of exterior body colours that allowed the mirrors and wheels to be customised.

Second facelift
[edit]The Ibiza received a second, more thorough facelift in 2015. The interior as well as the exterior were changed. According to SEAT, the interior raw materials used were higher in quality, and the overall design was more driver-focused and ergonomic. It was possible to personalise the steering wheel, gear stick, air vents, radio buttons, and door handles with a range of available colours. The centre console was more accessible and there were multiple new technology additions. It was equipped with a multifunctional steering wheel, ambient lighting, and an integrated navigation system along with Full Link technology. The Full Link technology allowed connectivity with the driver's mobile phone in a safe and easy way. Mirror Link technology, through the second-generation MIB infotainment system, also replicated the smartphone screen when a compatible device was plugged in. Full Link was also compatible with both Android and Apple smartphones.
The safety features included were: daytime full-LED lights, parking assist with audio warnings, and a rear-view camera which provides live video from the rear of the car to make the driver aware of obstacles when reversing.
Externally, the biggest difference was full LED lights. It was available as a 5-door, sport coupé, and sport tourer, as with the previous Ibiza. A range of Volkswagen Group's new 1.0-litre three-cylinder engines (MPI and TSI) were also available with the facelifted Ibiza.
