SEAT Ibiza Lease Deals

The 95PS car is 5-speed manual only, with no automatic option at all. The 115PS car is either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DSG automatic. And SE and SE Technology do not offer the 115PS manual, so on those two trims choosing the more powerful engine also means choosing the automatic and paying for both. If you want a manual Ibiza with the 115PS engine, you need FR or FR Sport.

All seven of those appear in the navigation on seat.co.uk today, and none of them appears in the July 2026 price list that carries the prices. SEAT flags three of them as from stock only itself. So if you have been reading about an Ibiza XCELLENCE, or an 80PS Ibiza, the car exists but it is not something SEAT will build to order any more. There may be unregistered stock sitting at dealers, which is a different conversation and one worth having if the specification suits you. Tell us which version you were looking at and we will find out what is genuinely available rather than guessing.

They do not match the price list and they are not describing a car you can order. The same page block gives WLTP CO2 emissions as 125g/km in one line and CO2 combined as 105g/km in another, and no orderable Ibiza is either figure, because every one is between 115 and 124. Those numbers appear to belong to the withdrawn 80PS engine. The same pages give a kerb weight of 1,111kg for an FR Sport, where the price list says 1,168kg or 1,178kg, and a towing figure of 550kg that matches no derivative at all. Everything on this page comes from the dated price list for that reason.

The row is labelled simply boot capacity, 355 litres, the same for every derivative, and the words seats up appear nowhere in the price list or on the model pages. There is no second figure for the seats folded anywhere in SEAT's own documents. 355 litres is clearly a seats up volume for a car this size, but SEAT has not said so, so neither will we. If you see an Ibiza seats folded figure quoted elsewhere, it did not come from SEAT, and the ones in the big vehicle databases do not agree with each other. If the load space decides it for you, measure what you need to carry and we will check it against the real car.

SEAT used to publish braked towing at both an 8 per cent and a 12 per cent gradient, and the July 2026 price list has only the 12 per cent row. The percentage is the gradient the figure is tested on, not a deduction. So if you have seen a higher Ibiza braked towing figure quoted somewhere without a gradient attached, it is likely the withdrawn 8 per cent number and SEAT no longer stands behind it. Tell us the trailer and we will get the current figure confirmed against the exact derivative, because a towing limit is the one specification where being wrong has consequences.

Both assessments cover the same generation of Ibiza, and Euro NCAP states the 2017 expiry explicitly on its own page. The live rating is the 2022 one. The two sets are not comparable, because the test protocol got harder in between rather than the car getting worse, which is why adult occupant protection appears to fall from 95 to 83 while safety assist rises from 60 to 70. Anyone publishing 95 per cent on a current Ibiza page is quoting a rating that lapsed nearly three years ago.

Euro NCAP lists the versions its rating covers by power output: 59, 66, 70, 81 and 110 kW. The UK's 115PS Ibiza is 85 kW, and there is no 85 kW entry in that table. The 81 and 110 kW outputs are not UK orderable either. So the honest statement is that the Ibiza range holds a current five star rating earned on the 70 kW car, which is the 95PS one, and that Euro NCAP's own document does not name the 115PS derivative. That is a limitation of the paperwork rather than a safety concern, and it is better said than glossed over.

SEAT is explicit that the 4 year and 5 year extended manufacturer warranties are available only at the time of ordering a new SEAT. You cannot add one later when the standard cover is running out. On a four year lease that is worth a moment's thought before you sign, because the standard warranty's third year is capped at 60,000 miles and SEAT's own wording is that cover ends at three years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes soonest. A high mileage driver can run out of warranty well before the end of the agreement.

We checked the government's own eligible models list. No SEAT badged model appears in either band. Cupra Born and Cupra Raval do appear, both in Band 2, and Cupra is a separate brand from SEAT even though they share a dealer network. The Ibiza is petrol only, so there is no route to a grant on this car at any trim. If a grant matters to you, that is a conversation about a different car and we are happy to have it.

SE Technology to FR is nearly £2,000 and it is the largest step in the ladder. Both are available with the same 95PS engine, so you are not paying for performance, you are paying for the FR look and equipment. The useful part is that FR is the first trim where you can have the 115PS engine with a manual gearbox, because SE and SE Technology only offer 115PS with the automatic. So if you want the quicker engine and three pedals, FR is the cheapest way to get there at £25,170.

The 8 per cent towing row was in SEAT's 2024 price list and is not in the current one. The urban and extra-urban economy figures that appear on SEAT's own technical data pages belong to the withdrawn 80PS engine rather than to anything you can order. And the broader CO2 ranges on those same pages do not reconcile with the derivative level figures in the price list. None of that makes the car worse, it makes the paperwork harder to read, and it is the main way people end up quoting a figure that is two model years old.
