The Ibiza is the most popular car in the Seat range for a number of reasons, but key to its success is the fact that it is well-built and comes with a wide range of efficient engines as well as driving and looking sharp. Now Seat is trying to offer even more with the latest 1.2-litre TSi petrol unit which already sees service in other models in the Seat range. Supermini buyers have never had it so good. Not only is the modern small car more capable than ever before but it also benefits from the trickledown of technology from models higher up in the range: a big part of this comes in engine technology, and this particular Ibiza is one of the first to get the latest 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol powerplant. The exterior has a strong sporty flavour regardless of the specification, with the strong shoulder line and sharp curves around the nose of the car making it one of the most distinctive cars in the class. Even the lowliest S model has more distinction than some of its rivals, and younger buyers in particular will relish the modern design. Inside the Ibiza maintain a mix of sporty and distinctive touches. It's an appealing cabin which looks and feels of good quality, but it also avoids being over-complicated and helps to maintain a feeling of space up front. Standard equipment levels are also good - the SE version has air conditioning and cruise control as standard. Underneath the skin, the Ibiza uses the Volkswagen Group 1.2-litre TSI unit, which utilises both a turbocharger and a supercharger to provide low-rev torque and high-rev punch. The modest capacity and clever technology makes for a highly-efficient engine, delivering both impressive fuel economy and emissions as well as respectable performance. Our verdict on the Seat Ibiza 1.2 TSi SE Despite being just a variant in the Ibiza range, the impressive overall performance of the 1.2-litre TSi engine combined outshines the other petrol offerings and gives the diesels a significant run for their money.
