The 2002 model of SEAT Ibiza marked the beginning of the third generation of the car which first saw the daylight in 1985.
Similar to the previous editions, the model was available in two body configurations, three and five door hatchback, and was entirely based on a Volkswagen platform, sharing multiple parts with Polo. The design of the new generation was made by Walter de’Silva who also worked for Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Audi. The design of the new SEAT comes with a more modern and aggressive look as the grille has been reduced while the headlights were extended in order to cover a larger part of the front.
