2025 for Seat will be the year of the restyling of the small Ibiza and Arona, with new interiors, updated fronts and new on-board equipment
What does the future hold for Seat? In September 2023, at the Munich Motor Show, Volkswagen Group CEO Thomas Schafer told the press that the Spanish manufacturer would stop selling cars once the lifecycle of the current range was over. It was a statement that was misinterpreted by many media, as the German manager specified that the Spanish manufacturer was “stronger than ever” and called for the restyling of the Ibiza, Arona and Leon in the following years.
The time has come: 2025 will see the unveiling of the revamped versions of the Seat Ibiza and Arona, which were previewed in a teaser video in 2024 and are now ready to be unveiled in their official guise.
Seat Ibiza and Seat Arona 2025
The Seat Ibiza is one of the most popular small cars in the B-segment. According to the first rumours leaked in 2024 and the first images that were previewed during a press presentation (photo below), it will receive a significant aesthetic and technological update in 2025.
Indeed, the photos show a redesigned front end with slimmer LED headlights combined with a larger front grille: details that should give the small hatchback a more modern and up-to-date look. Inside, the car should feature new, higher quality materials, a new infotainment system and some solutions borrowed from the German group’s latest models.
There is no word yet on an exact debut date, but it is almost certain that the car will be unveiled before the summer and will then be launched at yet-to-be-announced prices, which will probably not be too far off the current ones.
Seat Arona 2025
Along with the Ibiza, the SUV sibling Seat Arona will also be restyled in 2025. The compact B-segment crossover will undergo a major restyling (the second of its career), with exterior changes that should include new bumpers, upgraded LED headlights and redesigned alloy wheels. Just like its city sibling, the interior of the Arona could also feature an improved infotainment system and new materials for the seats and door panels.
It is also expected to be unveiled in the second half of 2025, with market launch in the following months. As with the Ibiza, prices have not yet been announced, but are not expected to be too far from the current ones.
