The refreshed SEAT Ibiza and Arona already have their equipment and prices set in Spain

Just a few days ago SEAT presented the restyle it has applied to one of the most successful and long-lived models in its line-up, the Ibiza, along with the corresponding restyle for its SUV sibling, the Arona. Both share numerous design details, inside and out, as well as their engines, all of them petrol. They will reach dealerships and first customers in the first quarter of 2026, and the brand already allows them to be ordered in Spain, where we now know their equipment and prices.

But first, let us recap that, broadly speaking, both the SEAT Ibiza and the Arona are primarily introduced with a new front end featuring a hexagonal-shaped grille and a new bumper, plus slimmer LED headlights and a new light signature. On the sides, the new wheel designs for both models in various sizes stand out, and at the rear, the most significant change is the bumper and diffuser featured on the sporty FR version.

Inside the SEAT Ibiza and Arona, nothing changes in terms of design, but the Spanish brand has not forgotten this area, and both models now feature new materials, especially textures, that raise their level of finish and perceived quality. Beyond this, both are very well equipped from the entry-level trim, called simply Ibiza or Arona, which for both models includes the following standard equipment:

• Full LED headlights
• Fog lights and cornering light
• 15-inch alloy wheels on the Ibiza and 16-inch on the Arona
• 8-inch Digital Cockpit instrument panel
• Infotainment system with 8.25-inch touchscreen
• Full Link system
• 4 speakers
• Electrically adjustable exterior mirrors
• Rear parking sensor
• Air conditioning
• Cruise control plus speed limiter
• Cruise speed control
• Lane keeping assist
• Traffic sign recognition
• Autonomous emergency braking assist with pedestrian and cyclist protection (Front Assist)

The next trim is called Style, and on top of everything above it adds the following standard equipment:

• 16-inch alloy wheels
• 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit instrument panel
• Multifunction sports steering wheel in perforated leather
• Premium upholstery in Aurora tone
• Soft mint green air vents

As is customary at SEAT for trims other than the entry level, there are a series of packs that complement them, that is, an intermediate step before the top trim. Now the Style+ Pack comes into play, adding the following to the above for just 200 euros on the Ibiza and 100 euros on the Arona:

• Dual-zone climate control with ambient lighting in the air vents
• Adaptive cruise control
• Automatic light assist
• Cooled 15W wireless charger
• Rear view camera
• Tinted glass
• Electrically foldable exterior mirrors

Now we move to the top trim, the FR, which adds a sporty look for both models along with standard equipment above the Style trim, including elements such as the following:

• Dual-zone climate control
• 6 speakers
• FR-specific suspension
• Bucket-type sports seats
• Electrically foldable exterior mirrors
• Sports steering wheel
• Specific bumpers
• FR emblem laser-engraved on the B-pillar
• Rear disc brakes

The FR trim also has a complementary pack, the FR+, which in this case adds more technology with these elements:

• Keyless entry and start system (KESSY)
• ACC
• Automatic light assist
• Blind spot assist
• 15 W wireless charger
• Automatic parking assist (Park Assist) for the Arona
• Selectable driving modes
• Illuminated cabin air vents

Apart from all these trims and packs, SEAT offers for both the Ibiza and the Arona specific packs that add more technology to each trim at an advantageous price, such as the Sound Pack, which adds the SEAT Sound high-fidelity audio system or the navigation system with a 9.2-inch screen; the Comfort Pack, which includes the Kessy system, front parking sensors, heated seats, alarm or Park Assist (the latter only on the Arona); or the Panoramic Pack, which provides an electric panoramic sunroof.

At launch, the Ibiza can be chosen with the 1.0 MPI 80 CV engine with a five-speed manual gearbox, the 1.0 TSI 115 CV with a six-speed manual gearbox, and the most powerful unit, the 1.5 TSI 150 CV with cylinder deactivation and a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox. Later, within a timeframe SEAT has not specified, the Ibiza will receive the 1.0 TSI 95 CV with a five-speed manual gearbox and the also 1.0 TSI 115 CV but with the six-speed DSG automatic gearbox. The SEAT Arona, on the other hand, will have all the available engines except the 1.0 MPI, which is not sold for the SUV.

As I mentioned at the beginning, the SEAT Ibiza and Arona can already be ordered at the brand’s Spanish dealerships, with a starting price of 14,390 euros for the Ibiza, while the Arona starts from 17,920 euros, both with discounts already included by the brand. In addition, for everyone who has recently obtained their “B” driving licence, SEAT will offer an additional discount of 700 euros if ordered before December 31.
