The Ibiza sits just below the Leon hatchback in the Spanish brand’s range and, just like its hatchback sibling, shares its underpinnings with a ubiquitous VW model – the Polo.

Although similar to the Polo when it comes to its technical blueprints, the exterior appeal of the Ibiza is much different, with a more stylish demeanour that is likely to attract younger drivers.

We take the Ibiza for a spin to see what it can do.

Can the Ibiza really tackle models like the Volkswagen Polo? Watch our video review above to find out, or skip to bits of key information using the links below:

20.32 -> the volkswagen group is a close-knit
22 -> alliance as all manufacturers in it be
23.92 -> it seattle skoda audi or volkswagen
26.16 -> itself share a lot of their trade
27.76 -> secrets with each other
29.279 -> now this is great news for car buyers as
31.359 -> they get to pick and choose from several
32.88 -> manufacturers each offering attractive
35.04 -> products
36.64 -> this brings me on to say at ibiza
38.64 -> supermini which because it's part of the
40.239 -> vw group shares its underpinnings with
42.32 -> volkswagen's polo and if you weren't a
44.32 -> fan of the polar's sedate exterior the
46.559 -> ibiza adds a smattering of spanish style
48.719 -> to liven things up
58.399 -> let's start by talking about the
59.44 -> proverbial elephant in the room and
61.359 -> that's the noise in the cabin diabetes
63.52 -> is fine for when you're posturing about
65.04 -> time but start to climb up the rev
66.88 -> counter up head out onto the motorway
68.799 -> and you will find yourself raising your
70.24 -> voice
71.439 -> the ibiza's light and predictive
73.119 -> steering is clearly aimed at city
74.799 -> driving and as long as you go for the
76.4 -> smaller wheels then ride comfort won't
78.24 -> give you too much trouble either
80.56 -> you may not be able to have as much fun
82.08 -> as you would in say a ford fiesta but
84.08 -> the iphone is still great for nipping
85.68 -> from a to b
87.36 -> on the engine front try and avoid going
89.28 -> for the 69 brake horsepower naturally
91.36 -> aspirated 1.2 liter petrol as this can
94.079 -> be a bit sluggish instead if you're
96.079 -> after a small petrol then go for the
97.92 -> turbocharged 1.2 liter tsi as this is a
101.2 -> bit more lively with 104 brake
103.28 -> horsepower and a 0 to 62 miles per hour
105.6 -> sprint time of 9.8 seconds which for
108 -> such a small engine is quite impressive
111.52 -> other engines on offer include an fr
113.6 -> badged 1.4 litre turbo petrol producing
116.439 -> 113 horsepower and a 1.6 litre turbo
120 -> diesel which reduces 104 brake
121.92 -> horsepower but top of the food chain
124 -> economy wise is a small three cylinder
126.32 -> 74 brake horsepower 1.2 liter turbo
129.119 -> diesel and sayak claims this can retain
131.039 -> an average of just over 80 miles per
132.879 -> gallon and emits just 92 grams per
134.959 -> kilometer of co2
141.2 -> unfortunately the iphone doesn't live up
142.959 -> to the polo sophistication on the inside
145.28 -> as there are quite a few scratchy
146.879 -> plastics dotted around particularly
148.48 -> noticeable on the doors
151.12 -> standard kit however takes some
152.56 -> essential boxes like air con cd player
155.44 -> with mp3 compatibility and front
157.599 -> electric windows
159.04 -> the itech trim that we have today
160.64 -> features things like bluetooth a
162.08 -> leather-wrapped steering wheel and nice
163.92 -> 16-inch alloy wheels if you really do
166.4 -> want your ibiza to have a bit more
167.92 -> character though go for one of the
169.12 -> high-end fr models as these come with
171.36 -> sporty styling tweaks
174.4 -> another redeeming quality of this cabin
176.16 -> is that it's incredibly easy to get
177.599 -> comfortable and this is due to the vast
179.28 -> amounts of adjustments in the steering
180.72 -> column and
183.04 -> driver's seat
190.08 -> obviously the fact that we've got the
191.28 -> five-door version and not the three-door
193.2 -> sc model makes it easier to get in and
195.28 -> out but regardless of that the sporty
197.28 -> shape of the iphone makes it quite
198.879 -> difficult when it comes to headroom and
200.879 -> legroom isn't great either so you might
203.04 -> find your passengers fighting over who
204.48 -> gets to ride shotgun
207.76 -> it does get a little better coming
209.2 -> around to the boot though that the ibiza
210.959 -> offers up to 292 liters which is
213.44 -> slightly better than the vw polo and on
215.68 -> par with the ford fiesta the rear seats
218.159 -> almost fall completely flat as well
227.519 -> many of the models in the vw group have
229.599 -> a similar feel to them both inside and
231.599 -> out and as always a vital decision comes
234 -> down to price
235.519 -> on paper the entry level set ibiza is
237.76 -> actually cheaper than the polo however
239.68 -> compare like for like and the ibiza ends
242 -> up being a tad less than the polo but
244.159 -> would you be willing to pay a slight
245.519 -> premium for the vw badge let us know in
247.519 -> the comments section and don't forget to
