by - Spy photographers captured images of the updated Seat Ibiza before its debut later this year.
- The model features a more aggressive front bumper with a new grille and headlights.
- An updated rear end is also expected, along with some minor updates in the powertrain.
Seat showed a preliminary version last week, and now spy photographers have captured images of the updated hatchback in cold weather conditions. It is very well hidden, but we can expect a small upgrade focused on the front and rear of the car.
Although there are not many details in the photos, Seat has already shown the model without hiding it. From this, we know that this popular subcompact car will receive a sporty look with a more pronounced grille and updated headlights. The latter continues to have triangular LED accents, but this time they are less pronounced.

The rest of the car mostly remains unchanged, but the rear end receives a few minor updates. The most noticeable changes are the new graphics of the rear lights and a slightly modified rear bumper. The latter now has angular reflectors and a simple design.

Spy photographers did not get a chance to see the interior, but we can likely expect a number of updates to keep everything fresh. While nothing is official, it is possible to see an updated infotainment system, as well as a few other small changes.
As for engine options, they remain a secret, but the current model offers 1.0-liter engines with power outputs of 79 hp (59 kW / 80 PS), 94 hp (70 kW / 95 PS), and 114 hp (85 kW / 116 PS). Customers can also choose a 1.5-liter TSI petrol engine with 148 hp (110 kW / 150 PS). These engines can be paired with five- and six-speed manual transmissions, as well as a seven-speed automated DSG transmission.
