SEAT unveils refreshed Ibiza and Arona as interest in small cars rises

SEAT's refreshed 2026 Arona and Ibiza models bring sharper styling, upgraded tech, and improved efficiency. Both models now feature updated LED lighting, a redesigned front fascia, and a new 10.25" digital cockpit as standard across most trims.

SEAT will start selling hybrid versions of the Ibiza and Arona in 2027. Both models will get mild-hybrid powertrains that year, while a full-hybrid option will be available for the Leon in 2028.

Ireland will not be taking the 1.5 TSI 150PS DSG variant as it's too heavy on CO₂ .

Prices will start for the Ibiza at €23,925 for the 1.0MPI 80HP SE trim and rise to €31,315 for the IBIZA 1.0TSI 115HP DSG FR. The Arona will start at €28,175 for the 1.0TSI 95HP SE trim and rise to € 34,240 for the 1.0TSI 115HP DSG FR.
