Seat has released the first images of its revised Ibiza, which will reach showrooms in April.

The revision brings the Ibiza model in line with the rest of the Seat models, Leon, Altea and Toledo.

Changes include, more visible exhaust pipes, twin headlights fitted as standard, modified rear bumper. The Ibiza badge is now positioned on the centre of the tailgate like the rest of the Seat range. The minimum size of wheel fitted has increased from 14-inches to 15-inches.

The FR model will include front air-intakes and a honeycomb grille, while the area behind the front registration plate is black. New 17-inch alloy wheels (up from 16-inch) and ‘FR’ badging.

The Ibiza’s engine range remains unchanged, featuring the 158bhp TDI powering the Cupra. The petrol range starts with 1.2-litre, going up to the 178bhp 1.8 20V T.

Prices and full specification details for the 2006 Seat Ibiza will be released at the model’s world public debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month.
