Seat Ibiza Towbars

Seat Ibiza Towing Specifics

The Seat Ibiza was first introduced in 1984 by the Spanish manufacturer as a supermini car, designed with strong towing capabilities. The range currently includes a Hatchback, Tourer and Coupe model. We will cover the towing specifics of this model below.

Seat Ibiza Hatchback Towbar Electrics Kits

It is recommended that all tow bars fitted to a Seat Ibiza Hatchback vehicle are done so with a dedicated electrics kit, rather than a universal electrics kit. A dedicated electrics kit not only ensures all modern features such as; trailer stability and parking sensors are functional, but also helps to keep your vehicle's warranty unaffected.

We offer both universal and dedicated electrics kits for the Seat Ibiza Hatchbackvehicle towbars, but be aware that universal electrics kits can invalidate any manufacturer warranty your vehicle has and may also require a bypass relay.

Check your Seat warranty for more information.

Bypass Relays

All tow bars for the Seat Ibiza Hatchback 1993-2001 and 2001-2008 models will not require a bypass relay, if universal electrics are fitted.

All tow bars for the Seat Ibiza Hatchback 2008-2017 and 2017 onwards models will require a bypass relay, if universal electrics are fitted.

A bypass relay works by powering what it is you are towing through transferring power straight from the battery instead of taking too much current away from your vehicle.
