SEAT Arosa

The SEAT Arosa, type 6H, is a city car that was manufactured by SEAT from 1997 to 2004. It debuted in March 1997 at the Geneva Motor Show, and a facelifted version was shown in October 2000 at the Paris Motor Show. It shared its platform with the Volkswagen Lupo and was mostly identical to it apart from equipment, styling and trim levels, both being based on the Volkswagen Group A00 platform, a shortened version of the one under the Polo and the Ibiza. The Arosa is named after Vilagarcía de Arousa, a municipality in the province of Pontevedra, Spain, and before the facelift it was only available as a three-door, four-seater hatchback. Petrol engines started at a 1.0-litre unit of 50 PS. The SEAT Mii succeeded it, with production starting in December 2011.
