Since its launch in 1984, the SEAT Ibiza has sold almost 6 million units in five generations, which makes it one of the most popular models of the Spanish firm. The SEAT Arona is a more recent model: riding the wave of small urban SUVs since 2017, it has sold for almost 400,000 copies nowadays.

The production of the two city models of SEAT began this week, at the plant of the Spanish firm in Martorell, near Barcelona: “ Equally important to the Martorell plant are the SEAT Ibiza and Arona, as they represent half of the plant’s production. Updated and improved versions of these two models will help maintain their position as key models in the lineup. »Says Herbert Steiner, executive vice president of SEAT for production and logistics
