This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Seat Arona) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Ground clearance: | 177 mm (7 inches) | 190 mm (7.5 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Seat Arona can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Seat Arona version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. | |||
