Step into a world where cars don’t cost as much as a second home. Seat gets that perfectly with the refreshed Ibiza and Arona for 2025. No earth-shattering revolution, just a clever spruce-up that sharpens these two urban heroes. Let’s dive into what these Spaniards bring to the table, no nonsense.
Start with the Ibiza, the hatchback that’s been owning the streets for years – in the best way. The facelift focuses up front: slimmer grille, beefy air intakes, and headlights with a cheeky kink. Result? A familiar snout that feels fresh. At the rear, it’s business as usual, with a bit more black plastic for that rugged vibe. Inside? Loads of physical buttons, because who enjoys finger-painting on a screen?
Engines stick to what works. Go for the tame 1.0-litre with 80 hp and manual for thrifty runs, a 1.0 TSI with 95 or 110 hp for more grunt (DSG optional), or splash out on the 1.5 TSI with 150 hp, always auto. No more diesel, and that’s fine these days. The real killer? Price: from €19,950. That’s five grand cheaper than its cousin, the Volkswagen Polo. Orders open in December, and your wallet stays happy.
Now the Arona, the taller sibling with SUV swagger. Same front makeover: hexagonal grille and those kinked lights, but with extra black for crossover cred. Rear? Nothing new under the sun. Interior tweaks are subtle – you’ll need a magnifying glass. Engines mirror the Ibiza: 95 hp base, 110 hp with gearbox choices, and 150 hp FR topper with DSG. Front-wheel drive all round, no four-wheel fuss.
Price from €22,890 – still a bargain next to the VW T-Cross. This Arona banks on looks and a low entry ticket, and it works. Perfect for anyone who wants to sit higher without bankrupting themselves.
What makes this pair so appealing? Solid VW-group tech, razor-sharp pricing, and design that doesn’t try too hard. They’re no rockets, but playful enough for daily fun. In a market stuffed with overpriced gadgets, they’re a breath of fresh air.
Still, if you really want to think ahead, there’s a smarter path. Electric driving isn’t future music anymore – it’s here, silent, punchy, and dirt-cheap to run. With us, you’ll find tomorrow.
