The current Ibiza has been running since 2017 and the Arona could use a little attention as well. Both models therefore receive a modest facelift. Not an earth-shattering innovation, but enough to put them back in the spotlight. This is not a bad thing, since news from SEAT is rare these days. Everything now revolves around the Cupra brand. Which is quite a shame, because the Ibiza in particular is such a fixture that it now feels like part of the street furniture.      <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-id=\"211734\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/vernieuwdeseatibiza1-1280x960.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211734\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-id=\"211739\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/new_seat_arona_style_01-1-1280x960.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211739\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s new?<\/h2>\n<p>Both models now have a slightly tighter look. The grille is now hexagonal with a kind of diamond pattern in it, the LED headlights are thinner and brighter, and the bumpers are also drawn a little sharper. Especially in the new colors, such as the deep red Liminal Red, they look quite fresh. The rims? Also new, from 15 to 18 inches.    <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"855\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/new_seat_arona_style_03-1140x855.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211740\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Backside<\/h2>\n<p>At the rear, the designers didn&#8217;t change much. The bumpers of both models have been tightened up a bit and that&#8217;s about it. The Ibiza remains recognizable as a compact, sporty hatchback and the Arona still as a small SUV with a little spice.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"856\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1920_vernieuwdeseatibiza2-1140x856.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211736\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Softer and darker<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the interior, SEAT has clearly put in more work. Some of the hard plastics have been replaced by softer materials and fabrics with relief. The whole looks just a little more mature. The FR Business Connect version has bucket seats with a bit more support, a steering wheel with perforated leather and black headliner that makes the interior a bit sportier.   <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/vernieuwdeseatibiza4-1-1140x641.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211737\"><\/figure>\n<p>Convenience has also been considered: a faster 15W wireless charger (with cooling, so your phone won&#8217;t glow) and an optional SEAT Sound System with six speakers and subwoofer. The infotainment remains uncluttered &#8211; no excess of menus or touch-sensitive sliders. Just buttons where they belong.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/vernieuwdeseatibiza3-1-1140x641.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211738\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Under the hood  <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Under the hood, Seat keeps it simple: a 1.0 TSI three-cylinder with 70 kW (95 hp) and five-speed manual transmission or a 1.0 TSI with 85 kW (115 hp), mated to a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission. Not exciting, but for a compact car like the Ibiza or Arona it is enough. In 2027 mild-hybrid variants will also arrive.  <\/p>\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/seat-leon-ehybrid-2025-review-parel-die-iedereen-over-het-hoofd-ziet\/\">SEAT Leon Sportstourer e-Hybrid (2025) Review &#8211; The hidden gem that everyone is overlooking?<\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-autorai-nl wp-block-embed-autorai-nl\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"U13NcLKteN\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/seat-leon-ehybrid-2025-review-parel-die-iedereen-over-het-hoofd-ziet\/\">SEAT Leon Sportstourer e-Hybrid (2025) Review &#8211; The hidden gem that everyone overlooks?<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SEAT Ibiza and Arona Well, it's about time.
