Yahoo News Seat Ibiza to get early interior upgrade
Seat has announced a series of interior upgrades for its Ibiza supermini, which was launched only last year.
The car, which was the first to debut the Volkswagen Group’s MGB AO platform, has been been widely praised for its design and dynamics, but not for its bare cabin which uses a lot of untextured matt-black plastics.
Luca de Meo, Seat’s chief executive, says the digital cluster will receive an upgrade as well as a host of new cabin materials including more Alcantara man-made suede, soft pads and visible stitching.
“We’re on it,” he says. “We recognise the issue, because we’re trying to work on it.”
The company has also released the name of its forthcoming small SUV slated for the Geneva motor show in three weeks.
Thanks to the results of a public poll, the tiny new utility will be called Tarraco.
