SEAT Ibiza

The SEAT Ibiza is a supermini car manufactured by SEAT since 1984 and the best-selling car of the company. It is named after the Spanish island of Ibiza and was the second SEAT model named after a Spanish location, after the Málaga. It was introduced at the 1984 Paris Motor Show as the first car developed by SEAT as an independent company, although it was designed in collaboration with firms including Italdesign, Karmann and Porsche. The first generation entered production at the Zona Franca lines on 27 April 1984. From the second generation onwards SEAT formed part of the Volkswagen Group and the Ibiza used its platforms. The model has spanned five generations, and it is now sold only as a five-door hatchback, since saloon, coupe and estate versions between 1993 and 2008 were sold as the SEAT Córdoba.
