Seat Arosa — TIMING CHAIN OR BELT?

MODEL LIST - (UPDATED 2023)

| Home / Seat / List of Seat Arosa Models without Timing Belt

The Seat Arosa is a city car (A-segment in Europe) by the Spanish brand Seat and manufactured by Volkswagen Group. It was launched in 1997 as the successor to the Seat Marbella.

The Arosa is a front-engine, front-wheel drive, 3-door, 4-seater hatchback city car. It was built on the Volkswagen Group A00 platform, which is a shortened version of the A03. The only other vehicle to share the same base was the Volkswagen Lupo. The Arosa was designed by Jozef Kabaň, who also designed the Bugatti Veyron 16.4.

The Seat Mii had only one generation, although it underwent a redesign in 2000. This city car was finally discontinued in 2004. Years later, in January 2012, it would be succeeded by the Seat Mii in its segment. Some of its competitors include the Peugeot 107, Fiat 600, Hyundai Atos, Citroen C2, Daewoo Matiz, Ford Ka and Renault Twingo, among many others.
