The new Seat Arona 2023 is presented with a major refreshment in the design, to finish updating the portfolio of the brand; belonging to the Volkswagen house.
We find a bolder front. Its grille, front spoiler and headlights look totally different from its predecessor. It is also evident a more technological cabin, we will see later.
In general, we find a mini SUV known for its power, perfect for urban terrain; this time, with greater performance in comfort and technology. Let’s see in detail.
Agile and powerful engine to travel at your own pace
The Seat Arona 2023 maintains a four-cylinder, 16-valve, 1.6-liter engine with 110 horsepower and 155 Nm of torque; six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission.
In addition, this naturally aspirated engine has multipoint fueling, which allows fuel injection in each cylinder, for greater control over the amount of fuel the engine burns.
It meets the EU6 emissions standard of 60 mg/km NOx for gasoline engines; as is the case with the Seat Arona 2023 engine.
While the engine is not to test your adrenaline, in the driving you will feel at your best. The MQB A0 platform has a perfect balance of wheelbase and suspension point for precise and stable handling.
