Looks That Punch Above Its Weight

The Ibiza retains its sharp, athletic styling with crisp creases and a taut profile that reads more premium than the price suggests. Subtle 2025 updates — contrasting roof options and fresh alloy designs — lift the character without turning it into a fashion statement. That confident stance helps in town and on the motorway, where the Ibiza looks composed next to larger rivals.

Cabin Feel: Compact but Polished

The interior is more grown-up than earlier models, with improved soft-touch surfaces across the dash and sensible trim choices on mid and upper specs, while entry versions keep practical hard plastics where it matters least. Seats are supportive for daily commutes and longer runs, and the driving position adjusts easily to suit different heights. Simple, clear switchgear and a logical layout keep the focus on driving rather than fiddling with controls.

Practical Every Day, Surprising When Needed

Rear space is competitive for the B-segment — adults fit for short to medium trips and child seats attach with ease thanks to clearly marked ISOFIX points. Boot capacity is a useful 355 litres, enough for a weekly shop or a couple of medium suitcases, and expands to 1,165 litres with the rear seats folded for larger loads. A 40‑litre tank and the car's economical figures mean long stretches between fill-ups, making it sensible for both urban and weekend use.

Playful Chassis, No-Nonsense Grip

The chassis is agile and composed, with light, direct steering that turns city manoeuvres and B-road bends into something approaching fun rather than a chore. The range of engines — from a frugal 80 hp three-cylinder to a punchy 150 hp 1.5 TSI — means performance choices translate clearly to day-to-day use: the 80 hp feels economical but leisurely, while the 150 hp hits 100 km/h in about 8.1 seconds and makes motorway overtakes effortless; both manual and dual‑clutch automatic gearboxes are offered. Ride tuning favours composed control over floaty comfort, so the Ibiza stays planted on imperfect surfaces without feeling harsh.

Consumption Figures That Make Sense

Official fuel use ranges from about 5.2–5.7 L/100 km depending on engine and gearbox, which equates to roughly 700–770 km of real-world range from the 40‑litre tank on mixed driving. The 1.0 MPI 80 hp is the most economical in town, the 1.0 TSI options (95–115 hp) strike a balance of flexibility and economy, and the 1.5 TSI 150 hp is the sportier choice that tastes a bit more fuel. CO2 emissions sit in the mid-100s g/km bracket, putting the Ibiza into a mid-range efficiency class for petrol hatchbacks.

Screens, Safety and the Small Stuff

The Ibiza comes with a modern suite of driver aids — autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control are available on higher trims — and parking sensors or a reversing camera ease city life. Infotainment is pragmatic: a clear touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration and an optional digital driver display make daily use straightforward. Controls are sensibly laid out and the system's responsiveness is adequate for everyday use, keeping distractions to a minimum.

Who Should Buy the Ibiza?

The Ibiza is aimed at buyers who want a stylish, efficient and practical supermini that covers commuting, school runs and weekend trips without compromise. It appeals to first-time buyers and small families hunting for low running costs and a compact footprint, with engine choices from an economical 80 hp up to a lively 150 hp for those who want extra shove. For anyone prioritising city friendliness, decent boot space and a sharper driving character than many classmates, the Ibiza remains a compelling package.
