The popular Arona from SEAT has always been a competent, enjoyable little family vehicle with many positive attributes. Launched in 2017 and given a facelift in 2021, it remains competitive since it sits at the bottom of the company's lineup of family SUVs, which also includes the Ateca and Tarraco.
SEAT’s offering shares its underpinnings with the Volkswagen T-Cross and Skoda Kamiq, and steers better than the pair of them thanks to a sporty, agile suspension set-up. But it's equally useful and comes with all the technology you would anticipate from a Volkswagen Group product.
The Arona isn't a true off-road vehicle that requires a powerful engine to tow it up a rocky outcrop in the midst of the desert, despite its tough SUV image. In town, it's more likely to be seen mounting a curb. Because it doesn't require powerful engines or four-wheel drive, its operating costs are quite modest.
Seat Arona Fuel Consumption
Select the 1.0 petrol engine with 95 horsepower. Its stated fuel efficiency is 52.3 mpg, however we found that this translates to 45–47 mpg in moderate real-world driving, with an average of 42.6 mpg overall. You can anticipate better fuel efficiency numbers if you choose the more potent 115hp variant. Official tests show 53.3mpg, while real-world testing shows 45.5mpg, which is still an outstanding result.
The Arona series has generally low emissions figures. The 1.0-liter manual with 95 horsepower emits the least amount of CO2 (124g/km).
Look for a diesel SEAT Arona with the 1.6 TDI engine for extremely low operating costs. Before being removed from the lineup in 2020, these sold in relatively modest quantities, but if you drive a lot of highway miles, you might want to consider buying one. This engine's official return mileage is 65.7 mpg, but with the automatic gearbox, it drops to 64.2 mpg.
Seat Fuel Consumption
However, the majority of consumers will prefer a gasoline-powered model. According to specifications, the 1.0-liter TSI can achieve up to 51.4 mpg, while the eager 1.5 can achieve up to 45.6 mpg.
The fuel consumption of the Seat Arona is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Seat Arona variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Seat Arona in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your Seat Arona is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:
(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
