Barcelona Salon, May 2013. In a very complicated situation for all manufacturers there is still a small ray of hope, and it is called SEAT. It is the brand that has sold the most cars this year: 28,539 from January to May. The architects is the SEAT Ibiza, the best-selling car in Spain during these first five months, with 11,073 units (although the Citroën C4 is close behind). In seventh place is the SEAT León, with 9,425 units. As we have already carried out tests of both cars in Supercars Search Engine (see test of the SEAT Ibiza and proof of SEAT León), we take advantage of the visit to ask ourselves the following question, is it better to have a León or an Ibiza? The question may seem absurd, and a few years ago it would be. However, we have all changed our consumption habits due to the crisis. Which is the mild way of saying that we look a lot more at every euro we spend. If before we changed the car for pleasure, now we only change it out of necessity, and sometimes not even that. And if before we decided on the model we liked the most, now perhaps we are more conservative in the purchase. So we set out to make a somewhat strange comparison, but perhaps some will be raised based on the sales figures and the economic situation. SEAT Ibiza or León? One of the advantages of a car show is being able to have those responsible for the brands to ask them questions. So we didn’t want to make it easy for Cristian Calvo, Product Manager for the medium and large car range at SEAT, already Ignasi casanovas, its counterpart for small vehicles (Ibiza and Mii). We ask them to Points in favor of SEAT Ibiza according to Ignasi Casanovas, product manager It has a very wide range of buyers: from the first car to older people with children who have already become independent, and therefore do not need such a large car. It is the leading utility in its segment since 2001, a car with a lot of experience and a very good brand. It is sporty, but without being aggressive. It had a restyle in 2011 mainly on the outside with a new grille and angular shapes that give it a wider car look. Optics option Led front and rear as an option in the Style and FR finishes, which has been one of the most characteristic changes of the restyle. Other aesthetic details in the restyle such as the new taillights or the central rib of the hood Glove box capacity increased to almost double compared to the previous generation. “Action models” (special versions) for young customers who are interested in new technologies (we will talk about them in this article). Points in favor of SEAT León according to Cristian Calvo, product manager Design: An attractive and novel design that attracts attention. Inclusion of various driving and entertainment technologies: full led (the only one in a segment that can carry it), fatigue detector, line assist, and driver profile that modifies even the sound of the engine (only in the highest engines). The versatility of the C-segment: small enough for the city, big enough for the highway A leap in interior quality Competitive emissions and consumption The platform opens MQB, with the advantages that this implies in boot size, weight and costs. Three different bodies: five doors, SC and the future ST (station wagon), something new in the segment in that same configuration. The León is an alternative to Ibiza if you need more space or if you want a more stylish car. Versions ITECH, SEAT Double Pive and SEAT Portable System, your bets on price Of course, all these are factors that influence when making a car a super sales, but it must be said that one more condition is needed: a very competitive price. Those responsible for SEAT They explained their pricing strategy to us: rather than making discounts on the entire range, they try to maximize the discount by creating specific versions with what people usually ask for and under the conditions that they usually do. The Ibiza has the version ITECH, formerly called Tech. It is a portable browser with online services and Bluetooth. Browser SEAT Ibiza (Portable System) and del León The other “brand” created by SEAT is he SEAT Double Pive, a commercial action in which SEAT extend the Pive plan discount, double the warranty and standard equipment. Of course, on condition of financing the car with them. SEAT Ibiza ITECH from 8,900 euros (with plan PIVE) The competitive offer of SEAT we found it with the Ibiza ITECH, which in its basic version includes the navigator, Bluetooth, alloy wheels and fog lights. The base price is that of the 70 hp engine, which may be a bit short for some buyers. As we have commented for this price it is necessary to deliver a car that follows the plan PIVE and finance the car with SEAT, which can be a negative point for those who do not deliver a car. However according to SEAT A high percentage of people who buy a car now are in that profile: it is a change due to necessity of an old car, and it is paid in installments. SEAT Lion SC FR TSI 122 CV from 15,900 euros In the case of the Leon, the offer goes directly to its FR finish, a sub-brand that started out as the sportiest but has been expanded to become an accessible finish (which commercially makes perfect sense). In this case the engine is TSI 122CV, more balanced than in the case of the Ibiza. FR trim includes multifunction leather steering wheel, Full headlights Led, 17-inch wheels, dual-zone climate control, bluetooth, sports seats and a touchscreen navigator (integrated, not the SEAT Portable System). Again, the offer is on the condition of delivering a used car and financing the new one, as in the Ibiza. The conclusion of Supercars Search Engine As we discussed in our test of the SEAT Ibiza, the debatable points that it had before the restyle (such as some interior quality details) have been corrected, and otherwise we consider it a car with a good quality / price ratio. It is true that, at a time when consumers have had to contain spending in all aspects and the word austerity floats in the air, is it worth spending 7,000 euros on a much more equipped León SC? As we have already said, a car costs 10,000 euros and the rest is optional. You can spend 5,000 euros more or 500,000 euros more, but it is still an increase in passion and not transport. With the head, we could choose the Ibiza. Now, the moment the heart kicks in, the Lion has the upper hand. Inside and in behavior you can see a bigger car, and the fact that it is not just another segment but also notably newer than the Ibiza plays in its favor. The Leon’s driving feel was already good in the previous generation – despite its age – and has improved on the new one. In short: with your heart choose the Lion without hesitation. But if you have to choose with your head or your pocket, the Ibiza is a very good option. The rivals in What car do I buy? In case of SEAT It is not unique, the good thing about the crisis situation if it has something good is that all brands are adjusting their prices quite a bit and offering attractive options. In our section What car do I buy? We can see all the rivals of Ibiza and León, for example doing a search for compact between 10,000 and 20,000 euros, ordered by the criterion “good and cheap”, or utilities between 10,000 and 15,000 euros ordered by the criterion “attractive”. It must be taken into account, of course, that in our database the tariff prices appear without applying the promotional discounts of the brands at all times.

sebouh00 Guest #1 Hi. I'm looking to buy a car, but i can't choose between the SEAT Ibiza Style (full option including sunroof) or the SEAT Leon S Emocion. I've read a few reviews on both cars, yet i can't decide. The Leon costs a bit more, so I'm thinking of the manual (much cheaper). Although the Ibiza has DGS-7 gearbox, I don't mind the manual. I just want to know why Leon costs more? What sort of advantages does it have? The S Emocion has the V petrol engine 102 PS, and the Ibiza has the petrol engine 105 PS. According to the Top Gear car review, the Ibiza sucks, and the Leon isn't impressive either. But I can't afford the better ones. Sorry if this thread is in the wrong section. I couldn't find a general question section. Also, the fact that i've posted it in here, shows that i'm kind of leaning towards the Leon. Thanks for your help. m0rk sarcasm comes free #2 Neither will set your world on fire performance wise, I guess it depends on what you want from a car? If it's size, pick the Leon. If it's compact, pick the Ibiza. DSG 7 speed is relatively untested (but warranted for 3yrs) If it's performance you're after, buy second hand #3 The simplest answer to this is - the Leon's bigger - more car = more money. #4 Hi.

There are some very good deals out there in the secondhand market [ but make sure you pick up extended warranty too] 58-59 plates seem to have less of the problems that were in the early builds. #5 The Leon is a medium sized hatchback and the Ibiza is a small hatchback - that's the main difference. Personally I think the DSG gearbox is a big plus. I would disagree with Top Gear: I haven't owned an Ibiza but I had one as a hirecar and it was really very good, especially on economy. With both cars, controls etc are standard VW stuff so feels solid and well-built. The only issue I have with my Leon FR is the hard ride, but even that's a matter of taste... I'm sure some people must like it or they'd never have passed into production. You'll definitely get a better deal secondhand. If you get a nearly-new then you'll most likely get the remaining warranty cover. KzJF Full Member on Wednesdays #6 You'll definitely get a better deal secondhand. If you get a nearly-new then you'll most likely get the remaining warranty cover. I second that. Get a months-old one, preferably a facelifted one the difference in the aesthetics is worth it. sebouh00 Guest #7 I went with the Ibiza. I decided the Leon just isn't good enough, even thought it is a damn gorgeous car. Let's hope i made the right decision. You can't test drive a car here, so I based my decision on online reviews. I found the Ibiza very cheap from the inside, but the SE version with the additional updates makes it an okay one. And the DSG is a big plus there, so... Hopefully in 5 years time, i'll trade it in for a Leon FR . Thanks for your help guys. #8 Hi.

If i was you there are better cars from other marques for the money , and better looking ones , i dont think you can go wrong with the new generation focus , looks good and goes well. #9 i'd go for the new Fiesta Zetec S with sport pack

Tanto el OPEL Mokka X como el SEAT Nuevo Ibiza tienen una amplia gama de características de seguridad, incluyendo airbags, control de estabilidad y frenos antibloqueo. El SEAT también tiene una cámara de visión trasera y un sistema de asistencia de frenado de emergencia. En términos de seguridad, ambos modelos son comparables, pero el SEAT

A Volkswagen Golf in matador fancy dress. Otherwise known as the fourth-generation Seat Leon. And, unsurprisingly, Spain’s family hatch is closer than it’s ever been to Golf-ishness thanks to shared engines, interiors and tech… just for less money and with arguably more style. So has the Golf’s little Spanish cousin had a little growth spurt and overtaken its German relative? Well, depending on what you’re looking for when buying a car, quite - Page continues below It certainly looks sharper. It’s properly handsome now – more distinctive than the hyper-conservative Golf, with sharp swage lines, deep creases and pointy door mirrors. There’s still the love of tessellation and triangles, though. Just enhanced, especially up front with a grille pinched from the Tarraco and a frown like you’ve told it that Bastian Schweinsteiger is a better midfielder than Andres Iniesta. Round the back there’s 2022’s must-have design feature: a full-width lightbar complete with funky light dances when you lock and unlock it. Finally, there's a new more flowing, handwritten script font on the rump. Not sure if that works, as it looks a bit like someone has been using Mum's car to practice their new joined-up writing with a fountain pen. Can I have it as a three-door? Nope. For cost reasons, the more resolved three-door option has been dropped. So the five-door hatch and estate are your only options. The hatch, launched in 2020, is 86mm longer than the previous generation, 50mm of which have been implanted between the front and rear wheels to improve interior cabin space and enhance rear legroom. Boot space remains the same at 380 litres. The cabin itself is all very Golf-y, too, with a instrument cluster and and either 8- or 10-inch infotainment display. As is the way these days you’ll have to make do with minimal buttons, with irritating swipe, slide and touch surfaces and displays for even the simplest tasks, such as increasing the cabin temperature or turning up the radio. More on that on the interior - Page continues below Does it go as well as it looks? You’ve the choice of petrol, diesel, and mild- or plug-in hybrid flavours. We’ve tried the mid-range petrol and mild hybrids so far, and were left suitably impressed: nippy enough around town, comfortable at a cruise, and above all – and perhaps most importantly in the current climate – impressively efficient. It won’t break any speed records, but if you want to go fast, there’s the Cupra hot hatch for that. Full details on the driving start from £22,225 for the entry-level petrol, rising to £29,195 for the mild-hybrid and £34,305 for the plug-in, with a total of six individual trims to choose from. Head over to the buying tab for the full choice from the TSI EVO 150 FR 5dr£25,080What's the verdict?“Spain’s strongest attempt to out-Golf the Golf yet. A stylish, well-equipped and cheaper version of its German cousin”The Leon is Spain’s strongest attempt to out-Golf the Golf yet. And it’s really not far off it. Largely because it’s based on the same spangly MQB platform as the MkVIII Golf and Audi A3 – so might finally be the car to lure budget-conscious hatch buyers from the German end of the new car market and into something a bit sharper, smarter-looking and with keener handling. In fact, VW may have accidentally taken its eye off the ball and made the Leon closer in comparison than it might like. See, the VW Golf now has an enemy within: an electric competitor, the A mass-market electric car that’s very much like a Golf, but electric. Distracted by this new family member, it feels as if VW may have inadvertently given the Leon a leg up. Because if you want a Golf that’s not a Golf, for a bit less money, this is the car to have.

^{(SEAT Leon 1.2 TSI (2014)) The Nürburgring race circuit is widely considered to be the most challenging in the world, and the fastest lap times are seen as the ultimate test of a car’s performance.
