The Seat Ibiza has been named as the best supermini in recent industry awards.
Now in its fifth-generation, the Seat Ibiza was praised for its use of technology and its high-quality experience despite being a compact car.
By winning its class in the UK Car of the Year Awards, the model can be considered for the overall title of Car of the Year, which will be decided in the next few weeks.
Richard Harrison, Seat’s UK director, said: “The new generation Ibiza marks a watershed in the car’s history of achievement as our most successful model.
“With the benefit of our new modular platform and further advances in technology and driving character that define all of today’s Seat models, we are proud to have produced a car that can take on the best in its class and win, all at a genuine great value package for the customer.”
