With the all-new Ibiza waiting around the corner - sales of the 5-door version are scheduled to start this summer, the best way to lure customers into buying the existing model is with special edition versions packed with standard equipment. And that’s exactly what Seat UK is doing with the presentation of the Ibiza 3d Freerider and Sportrider. Available exclusively in three-door format, the Ibiza Freerider is fitted with a 70 HP 1.2-liter 3-cylinder engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Its standard equipment includes cruise control, full Climatronic climate control, 15” alloy wheels, passenger seat height adjustment and electrically adjustable, heated and folding door mirrors.

Front fog lights and bespoke tailgate badging complete the Freerider’s complement of extras.

Additionally, the 300 first customers will also be offered the option of DAB digital stereo radio entertainment system no extra cost. The Freedirer’s price is set at £8,995 RRP.

Continuing with the Ibiza 3d Sportrider, buyers can choose between the 100 HP 1.4-litre petrol engine and the 100 HP 1.9-litre TDI. Standard equipment includes cruise control, Climatronic air conditioning, passenger seat height adjustment, electrically adjustable heated and folding door mirrors and fog lights, while styling additions include 16” ‘Spica’ alloys, sports seats in bespoke Sportrider cloth, front and rear bumpers from the Ibiza FR, body-coloured door handles and mirrors, plus honeycomb front grille.

The Ibiza Sportrider 1.4 16V petrol costs £9,495 RRP, while the 1.9 TDI version is available in SEAT showrooms for £10,395 RRP.
