SEAT Ibiza Hatchback (2002-2009) boot space, practicality and safety

Looking for a different model? (change model)
Practicality rating: 3 out of 53.0

Written by Parkers Published: 6 June 2019

The Ibiza was awarded a four star Euro NCAP crash test rating, which is average for a car of this size and age. All models get twin airbags, an immobiliser and deadlocks. An alarm and side airbags are only available on higher spec models or as optional extras.

The load area is reasonably generous but while the split-folding rear seat aid practicality they don’t fold flat. With 267-litres of boot space the Ibiza offers better luggage capacity than the Toyota Yaris and Ford Fiesta.
