With a length of 4,138 mm (162.9 inches) and a width of 1,780 mm (70.1 inches), the Arona offers a balanced footprint suitable for city driving and parking, while the width increases to 1,942 mm (76.5 inches) when including the opened mirrors. Its height ranges between 1,543 to 1,552 mm (60.7 to 61.1 inches), giving it a confident stance without being bulky.

The Seat Arona (2017-2021) SUV measures 4138 mm (162.9 inches) in length, making it compact and easy to maneuver in city environments. Its width is 1780 mm (70.1 inches) without mirrors and expands to 1942 mm (76.5 inches) with opened mirrors, which is important to consider for parking and tight spaces. The vehicle height ranges between 1543 mm to 1552 mm (60.7 to 61.1 inches), providing a comfortable elevated driving position typical of SUVs. These balanced dimensions offer a good blend of interior space and external compactness suitable for urban and suburban use.

With mirrors opened, the Seat Arona's width extends to 1942 mm (76.5 inches), which is notably wider than the body width of 1780 mm (70.1 inches). This increased width requires drivers to be mindful when parking in narrow spots or garages, as the vehicle’s full width including mirrors can limit clearance. However, this mirror width is typical for compact SUVs and comparable to many vehicles in its class. For everyday city parking, the Arona's moderate width with mirrors folded allows easier maneuverability. Drivers should always be attentive contacting surrounding objects due to this expanded width with mirrors.

The curb weight of the Seat Arona ranges between 1081 kg and 1245 kg (2383 lbs to 2744 lbs), depending on trim and equipment. The maximum allowable weight spans from 1625 kg to 1830 kg (3585 lbs to 4035 lbs). The relatively light curb weight of the Arona contributes to nimble handling, responsive acceleration, and generally better fuel efficiency compared to heavier SUVs. The difference between curb and maximum weight indicates the payload capacity, which includes passengers, cargo, and optional extras. This capacity ensures the Arona can carry typical passenger loads and luggage without compromising vehicle stability or performance.

The Seat Arona offers a practical luggage capacity of 282 liters (9.96 cubic feet) with the rear seats up, suitable for daily use, grocery runs, or small trips. When the rear seats are folded flat, the cargo space dramatically expands to between 1162 liters and 1280 liters (41 to 45.2 cubic feet), providing ample room for larger items such as bicycles, suitcases, or bulky gear. This flexibility makes the Arona a versatile SUV for both city driving and recreational activities. The wide rear opening and flat load floor further facilitate loading and unloading cargo.

The Seat Arona has a ground clearance of 190 mm (7.5 inches), which is relatively good for a compact SUV. This clearance enables the vehicle to handle mild off-road conditions, rough terrain, and speed bumps more comfortably than regular hatchbacks or sedans. While not intended for serious off-roading, the Arona’s ride height provides extra confidence on uneven or unpaved roads and increases the driver’s visibility in traffic. It balances urban practicality with some light adventurous capability.

Most standard residential garages in Europe and North America typically offer an internal width of around 2400 to 2700 mm (94.5 to 106 inches) and a length of approximately 5200 mm (204.7 inches). With the Arona measuring 4138 mm (162.9 inches) in length and 1780 mm (70.1 inches) in width (1942 mm/76.5 inches with mirrors), it comfortably fits inside most single-car garages with room to spare. The height of up to 1552 mm (61.1 inches) also easily clears typical garage door heights. However, care is needed when opening doors or mirrors inside the garage due to the expanded width when mirrors are open.

The Seat Arona launched in 2017 as a new model rather than a direct successor, effectively filling a niche below the Ateca in Seat's SUV lineup. It is smaller than the Ateca, designed as a subcompact SUV, targeting urban buyers needing a compact but versatile vehicle. Since this was the first generation Arona (2017-2021), direct predecessor comparisons are limited. However, compared to previous similar models such as the smaller SEAT Ibiza hatchback, the Arona offers more height, ground clearance, and cargo space, enhancing versatility and SUV appeal, while remaining compact for city environments.

The Seat Arona competes in the subcompact SUV segment with rivals such as the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur, and Ford EcoSport. Dimension-wise, the Arona’s length of 4138 mm (162.9 inches) and width of 1780 mm (70.1 inches) place it in line with or slightly smaller than many competitors, favoring urban agility. Its luggage capacity of up to 1280 liters (45.2 cubic feet) with seats folded is competitive and often better than some rivals. Additionally, its ground clearance of 190 mm (7.5 inches) offers practical capability similar to other SUVs in this class. The Arona’s balanced size is ideal for buyers seeking a compact yet spacious SUV.

The Seat Arona offers various rim sizes ranging from 16 inches (6J x 16) to 18 inches (7J x 18), with tire sizes such as 205/60 R16, 205/55 R17, and 215/45 R18. Larger rims with lower profile tires (e.g., 18 inch 215/45) tend to provide sharper handling and sportier aesthetics but may slightly reduce ride comfort due to stiffer sidewalls. Smaller rims (16 or 17 inches) with taller tire profiles offer a cushier ride, absorbing road imperfections better, which enhances comfort during everyday driving. The choice depends on driver preference between sportiness and comfort.

The Seat Arona (2017-2021) is a subcompact SUV designed for urban agility and practical versatility. It offers a high driving position, a customizable interior, and efficient engine options appealing to a wide audience. Its design balances sporty elements with functional SUV traits like decent ground clearance and flexible cargo space. In addition to compact external dimensions perfect for city use, it provides advanced infotainment, safety features, and modern conveniences. Its lightweight construction aids fuel economy, making it an attractive choice in the growing compact SUV segment.
