We have packed the new SEAT Ibiza to the hilt with the most cutting-edge safety functions, but you'll see that there are quite a lot of things that we hope you'll never need. All of them included as standard - including active and passive safety systems and Head Chest Airbags for driver and passengers*. Where do we start? In the back, you will find three-point rear safety belts and central safety belts, as well as ISOFIX preparation in the side rear seats. In addition, a Top Tether anchoring system ensures your young ones stay put where they're meant to. Plus a Seat Belt Reminder will tell if you or your front passenger is not properly strapped in for the ride. 93 times, to be exact. Pretty unnerving, we should think - those buckles will be fastened in no time. And that's not everything. To keep you from getting in trouble in the first place our latest generation of ESP (Electronic Stability Programme) is available as an option on all derivatives. TCS (Traction Control System), as well as the most recent ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) are fitted as standard. Our ESP monitors information from the steering wheel, tyres, brakes and accelerator, making adjustments where necessary to keep you in the perfect arc. The ABS keeps your wheels from skidding or over accelerating, no matter the road conditions. While the TCS monitors the power being fed to the axles and wheels, and actively prevents skidding whenever necessary. Off-road adventures? Not unless you wish to have them. But what would these cutting-edge safety measures be without you having an uninterrupted view of the road lying ahead? Our new windscreen wiper system with three wash jets will make sure of that. Covering 20% more of your windscreen and proven to work like clockwork at high speeds and in temperatures below 0ºC. All clear? Perfect. So, who said that beauty doesn't last? * In EU countries
