SEAT Ibiza 4 (6J)

Subcompact Hatchback

Product Gallery

Product Overview

SEAT Ibiza 4 (Typ 6J) is an affordable subcompact hatchback in production from 2008 to 2017. It was available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 2.0 liters.

Based on VAG's A05 platform, the Mk4 Ibiza can be considered a cheapend Mk5 Volkswagen Polo. As such, it has a less appealing exterior design but very similar drivetrain setup. These engines are not known for being reliable, but that's no news for owners of VAG products of this era.

The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Unsurprisingly, the Mk4 Ibiza doesn't have fully independent suspensions.

Reviewer score 76% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

The Seat Ibiza Ecomotive is one of the most smile-inducing cars I've driven this year. It's not very powerful (79bhp) or expensive (£11k), but it does deliver a knock-out blow to your pocket – and conscience. It churns out a paltry 99g/km of CO2 and averages a scarcely credible 74mpg.

Pros

Fun to drive
Decent infotainment system

Cons

Not very powerful
No smart-clogs tech
