One of the key drivers to SEAT’s continued success this year is the performance of the brand’s outstanding SUV range.

Once again Ireland’s Small Crossover of the Year 2019, the SEAT Arona, continues to be a hit with Irish motorists and accounted for an impressive 35% of sales in February 2019.
This continues the ongoing success story for the SEAT Arona with sales of the crossover up a staggering 73% compared to this time last year.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
