The Ibiza has been SEAT’s best-selling model since 1984, when it launched as the first car the newly independent Spanish manufacturer developed on its own, albeit with Italian styling from Italdesign, German industrialisation from Karmann, and a gearbox and powertrain developed with Porsche.[1] Five generations have followed, spanning SEAT’s transition from a state-owned licensee of Fiat designs to a full Volkswagen Group marque. This catalogue covers the original Mk1, the “arrow design” Mk4 that carried SEAT’s FR and Cupra hot-hatch badges, and the current Mk5.
