Seat Arona gets an update, but above all it confirms the vitality of the Spanish brand. Because if in the past the same top management of the Volkswagen group had questioned its survival by talking of a range destined to reach the end of its life without further development, with the arrival of the restyled Arona and Ibiza a new era opens for the Martorell-based manufacturer. In addition to the launch of the two models that we tested on the roads of Ibiza, and expected in Italian dealerships in the coming months, a series of innovations will arrive in the future, starting with the mild hybrid engine on the Ibiza and Arona from 2027 and the full hybrid power unit on the Leon from 2028.

New Seat Arona

No changes on the restyled Seat Arona, but a series of updates to improve the image and content of a model capable of selling more than 750,000 units as of 2017. At the front comes the hexagonal grille, new full-LED headlights with a revised light signature and a revised bumper. In addition to new 16- and 18-inch alloy wheels, new colours and two contrasting roof options arrive: Midnight Black and the new Manhattan Grey shade.

On board, the restyling brings with it new embossed fabrics, a darker headlining and updated air vents in the materials. In the FR trim of the launch edition, sporty shell seats become standard equipment. To enhance the on-board experience comes the new Seat Sound System with six speakers, subwoofer and a 300 W amplifier. In addition, there is a 15 W refrigerated wireless fast-charger.

Provata nella versione 1.0 Tsi 115 cavalli a 3 cilindri con cambio Dsg a 7 rapporti, la Seat Arona restyling conferma le doti che ne hanno decretato il successo. Spazio a bordo “da famiglia”, nonostante i 4,164 mm di lunghezza (+11 mm rispetto al passato), a partire dal baule da 400 litri e grazie ad una dotazione completa tra accessori di serie e optional presenti sul modello montato. Gli interni piacciono per il giusto mix tra tasti fisici e reattività dello schermo centrale da 9,2” compatibile con Android auto e Apple Carplay a cui si aggiungono le informazioni della strumentazione digitale da 10,25 pollici. Sulle strade ibizenche si apprezza il giusto bilanciamento tra confort e dinamica di guida, a cui si aggiunge una buona insonorizzazione e un pacchetto Adas con Travel Assist con quello che serve per una vettura di questa categoria. In alternativa si potrà optare per le motorizzazioni 1.0 Tsi 95 cavalli a 3 cilindri con cambio manuale a 5 marce, 1.0 Tsi 115 cavalli a 3 cilindri con cambio manua

Seat Arona Black Edition

While waiting to find out the official price list, a price of less than 20,000 euros has been anticipated for the Black Edition version combined with the 1.0 Tsi 115-horsepower engine where a long list of accessories will be standard, including full LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, 10.25-inch virtual cockpit, tinted rear windows, metallic paint, Seat full link and lighting sensors with coming/living home function.
