The one millionth SUV was a SEAT Arona – the ultimate bestseller. Produced in Martorell, the urban SUV has become the brand's most popular model since its market launch in 2017 with 481,585 units sold worldwide. Almost 98,000 vehicles have been sold since its debut in Spain, and last year the SEAT Arona was the first SUV to top the list there. The model is characterized above all by its functional design, its young image and the very good price-performance ratio. Added to this are its high dynamics and the smart connectivity and assistance solutions that make it a comfortable, networked and safe vehicle.
The new SEAT Ibiza and the new SEAT Arona maintain their flawless 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, five years after they first achieved the impressive target. The recognition is even more impressive given how challenging Euro NCAP has made the testing process in recent years.The tests have become more rigorous and now include the introduction of a moving barrier to moving car frontal crash test, replacing the moderate offset-deformable barrier test. This helps Euro NCAP evaluate the protection of occupants inside the car, and how the cars’ front-end structurers contribute too. Add to this updated side impacts to include adjustments to the near-side barrier test speed and mass and far-side impact protection, focusing on driver protection and the potential interaction between driver and front seat passenger.
The SUV sensation is continuing full steam ahead. Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) are taking up a larger share of the market year after year. In 2021 they accounted for 46% of car registrations in Europe, 5 percentage points more than the previous year. A clear example of this growth evolution is SEAT’s SUV range. In 2022 it topped the one million mark in terms of sales of its three models just six years after the launch of its first one. Last year, the Arona, Ateca and Tarraco already accounted for 49% of the brand’s global sales, with 192,100 units. Design, versatility and sporty driving play an essential role amongst the reasons for their popularity.
