Seat updates Arona and Ibiza

Seat has updated the Arona and Ibiza, two of its most popular models, to celebrate the brand’s 75th anniversary.

The updated models will be available to order from December 2025, with first deliveries in January 2026.

Both models have been given a series of styling updates, which Seat said are inspired by the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI), which it said has created a tension between artificiality and photorealism.

The cars have also gained new alloy wheel options, slimmer LED headlights and dark aluminium model lettering.

FR models gain laser-etched FR logos on the B-pillar and more efficient tyre technology.

Interiors feature embossed textiles, a darker headliner and an optional six-speaker sound system with a subwoofer.

FR First Edition models gain bucket seats as standard.

Engine choices on both models include a 1.0 TSI turbocharged three-cylinder, available with 95PS and a five-speed manual gearbox, or with 115PS and a six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox.
