The SEAT Arosa ( Typ 6H ) is a city car from the Spanish automaker SEAT, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, built between 1997 and 2005.
The 1st generation (left) was in production between 1997 and 1999. The 2nd generation (under the 1st generation image) was launched in late 1999, and was in production until the end of the Arosa in 2005.
Named after the municipality of Vilagarcía de Arousa in Galicia (Spain), it was only available as a three-door, four-seater hatchback. The Arosa, launched in 1997, was to a large extent identical to Volkswagen's own city car which was introduced later in 1998, Volkswagen Lupo, and both cars were based on the Volkswagen Group A00 platform, a shortened version of the A03 platform used by the larger Volkswagen Polo and SEAT Ibiza.
The Arosa was initially manufactured at a Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg, Germany, and only in May 1998 was the production moved to SEAT facilities in Martorell in Spain. The model later received a facelift in 2001. The Arosa replaced the SEAT Marbella in the Spanish brand's lineup, but was not itself replaced by any SEAT model when production ceased in 2005.
