The new Ibiza and Leon X-PERIENCE have received positive reviews in the UK press
Leon X-PERIENCE – Daily Star, George Fowler
“The car is blindingly good.”
“It’s another product from the VW empire that I completely loved. It’s surprisingly quiet and smooth, ridiculously pleasant, easy to drive and it’s practical too.”
“It’s much quicker than you’d think, especially in mid-range, where 80mph comes up at just 2,250rpm.”
New Ibiza – WhatCar?, John McIlroy
“It certainly feels a step up from the current model.”
“SEAT is hoping to regain ground with a revised [Ibiza] that features new engines, a more comfortable suspension set-up and much-improved interior quality.”
“Almost all of the engines in the new Ibiza’s line up are new. The car gets a new range of 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol motors.”
New Ibiza – TopGear, Stephen Dobie
“The Ibiza thrums away in the keenly unpolished way most of its rivals do when being worked hard, but also does an admirable job of being quiet and refined at motorway speeds, too.”
“Once above 1,500rpm or so, the engine’s power delivery is nice and progressive, and you’d be hard pushed to tell it’s turbocharged as speed builds, with no uncouth boostiness.”
“The Ibiza’s interior may remain plainly and functionally put together, but this system shines brightly in the middle of it. It might attract those who simply seek a good value, easy to drive car that makes little fuss about linking up to their phone.”
