SEAT Ibiza - MPG, CO2 and running costs

The SEAT Ibiza 1.0 TSI petrol engine offers good economy, even under the latest WLTP test procedure, thanks to a standard-fit stop-start function and a range of other efficiency measures.

Maximum economy (on the combined cycle) for the TSI 94bhp version is quoted at 55mpg, with the most powerful 114bhp car returning 51.7mpg in manual form and 51.2mpg when paired with the seven-speed DSG auto. However, all of these figures will be dependent on spec, because fitting larger wheels and accessories, or going for a higher trim with more kit (thus adding weight), will have a negative impact on economy.

CO2 emissions range from 117g/km for the 1.0-litre TSI SE version, to 128g/km for the 114bhp TSI variant in Xcellence Lux trim.

Insurance

The SEAT Ibiza is on par with the Renault Clio and starts in insurance group 11, before going up to group 15 for the more powerful 1.0-litre engine. Unfortunately, because the Ibiza no longer has the lower-power non-turbo 1.0-litre, it can’t match the group 3 VW Polo Life and group 4 Skoda Fabia SE Comfort.

Depreciation

Residual values for the SEAT Ibiza are in the 45-51 per cent bracket after three years and 36,000 miles, with the 115PS XCellence with a manual gearbox being the strongest performer. 

In comparison, the Skoda Fabia fares better with expected resale values between 46 to 54 per cent, while the Toyota Yaris is expected to maintain between 47 to 54 per cent over the same period.
