SEAT Arona

The SEAT Arona is a subcompact crossover SUV in the B segment, manufactured by SEAT since 2017 as the smallest crossover SUV offered by the Spanish brand. It slots below the Ateca compact model and the Tarraco seven-seater, the three being sport utility vehicles that SEAT launched between 2016 and 2019. The Arona is based on the same platform as the current Ibiza, which also underpins the Volkswagen Polo, the Volkswagen T-Cross and the Škoda Kamiq. It was first presented in Barcelona on 26 June 2017 and shown to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show that September, after SEAT deputy chairman Ramón Paredes met the mayor of Arona in Tenerife. A facelift was revealed on 15 April 2021. Engines are 1.0 and 1.5-litre petrol units and two 1.6-litre TDI diesels, and a CNG version was added in 2018.
