In an increasingly digitised world, the SEAT Arona is ready to bring customers’ connected lives into the cabin. Designed, developed and produced in Barcelona, at SEAT’s headquarters in Martorell, the new SEAT Arona will enter production in the third quarter of the year.

Exterior design

The SEAT Arona’s exterior design is refreshed to deliver an even greater rugged and robust aesthetic.

The exterior lighting shifts to 100% LED technology as standard – Eco LEDs are standard on SE and SE Technology trims, upgradable to Full LEDs which are standard on FR models upwards. The new LEDs reinforce the front design cues while also offering better visibility with lower energy consumption.

The customer can choose between three new alloy wheel designs and 10 exterior colours, including three new choices: Dark Camouflage, Asphalt Blue and Sapphire Blue, while there are three roof colours (Midnight Black, Magnetic Tech and the new Candy White) that give a distinct character to every car.

Interior design

The interior design continues the model’s new character and enhances the spaciousness of the cabin. The floating central infotainment system includes a generous 8.25” screen as standard, or 9.2” on SE Technology models upwards, combined with a clear 10.25” Digital Cockpit.

The Arona’s lustrous character is enhanced further with the use of lighting technology to illuminate newly-designed air vents, with different colours available depending on the trim – Daring Red for FR trim and Aran Green for Xperience.

Rear seat passengers now benefit from roof-mounted interior lights.

The boot’s total capacity remains 400 litres and the load area offers more practicality than simply space. A double floor makes the rear even more versatile, while four metal hooks allow a net to be used to secure anything placed in the back.

Connectivity

The SEAT Arona is fully connected with in-car and out-car connectivity, including wireless Full Link integration and SEAT CONNECT. The infotainment system delivers an even richer experience, with everything from media to traffic information available at the touch of a button or via voice recognition.

The Arona now includes SEAT CONNECT, giving users access to a range of remote services such as their vehicle’s data; driving data, parking position, vehicle’s status including doors and lights, set-up speed alerts so you can be warned if someone using your vehicle is driving too quickly, area and anti-theft alerts, opening and closing of the doors with the remote lock and unlock service, or remotely activating the horn and turn signals to find the car more easily.

The new SEAT Arona also integrates SEAT CONNECT with a built-in eSIM, which allows drivers to easily contact SEAT services while adding a layer of security via the eCall service, which directly contacts emergency services in the case of an incident.

Safety and convenience

New Driver Assistance Systems, such as Travel Assist, Side Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition technology, Lane Assist and Park Assist deliver semi-automatic driving, making the SEAT Arona even safer.

Powertrains

Under the bonnet, the new Arona will offer four different petrol (TSI) powertrains with outputs ranging from 95PS to 150PS, linked to either manual or DSG dual-clutch transmissions.

All petrol engines are equipped with turbo, direct-injection technology, with three 1.0 EcoTSI options available and a larger 1.5 EcoTSI.

The 1.0 TSI 95PS unit, linked to a five-speed manual transmission, provides 175Nm of torque. The final three-cylinder unit delivers 110PS/200Nm and is linked to either a six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission.

The largest option in the range is the four-cylinder 1.5 EcoTSI. With an output of 150PS/250Nm, it balances its strong performance with impressive efficiency.
