Seat first entered the subcompact segment for crossovers four years ago with the Arona, and now the small crossover model is due for a refresh.
The facelifted iteration was spied testing ever since last year, and more recently, it was taken to northern Europe for one of its first encounters with extremely cold temperatures.
The Spanish carmaker decided not to mess with a winning recipe, so the revisions are very subtle. These include a slightly bigger grille, a new bumper with repositioned fog lamp housings, and a slightly smaller lower air intake.
The headlights appear to be identical in shape to its predecessor, but this should change when the Arona debuts, likely in the second half of the year. The back end does seem to feature a new diffuser, with the incorporated exhaust pipes moved a bit to the sides. As for the taillights, these appear to feature a new, more modern lighting signature, bringing the facelifted Arona in line with models like the latest Leon and of course the bigger Ateca.
