Seat Ibiza – 3-Door Passenger Car

red dot award: product design 2009

The new three-door Seat Ibiza, the fourth generation of this compact car, is based on the compact car platform that will be used in the next Polo of the parent company. This gives it a larger size, and a new driving experience in particular, which comes as a surprise in this segment. This agile yet powerful car grips the road well, is easy to manoeuvre and instils trust and safety with its muscular body. Its new Arrow Design face stands out with its lower headlights and dynamically shaped radiator grille. The play of lines, a combination of concave and convex surfaces, and the energetic line above the rear wings also contribute to the athletic face of the Ibiza. The high standards of quality and sporty elegance are continued in the interior with precisely fitting components, high-quality materials and shiny intarsia in piano lacquer on the doors, the dashboard and the centre console. Despite its larger size, the new model is lighter than its predecessor, reducing consumption and emissions by roughly ten per cent.
