Seat Arona Towbars

Seat Arona Towing Specifics

The Seat Arona was first introduced in 2017 by the Spanish manufacturer as a mini crossover SUV, with great towing capabilities. We will cover the towing specifics of this model below.

Seat Arona Towbar Electrics Kits

It is recommended that all tow bars fitted to a Seat Arona vehicle are done so with a dedicated electrics kit, rather than a universal electrics kit. A dedicated electrics kit not only ensures all modern features such as; trailer stability and parking sensors are functional, but also helps to keep your vehicle's warranty unaffected.

We offer both universal and dedicated electrics kits for the Seat Arona vehicle towbars, but be aware that universal electrics kits can invalidate any manufacturer warranty your vehicle has and may also require a bypass relay.

Check your Seat warranty for more information.

Bypass Relays

All tow bars for the Seat Arona models will require a bypass relay, if universal electrics are fitted.

A bypass relay works by powering what it is you are towing through transferring power straight from the battery instead of taking too much current away from your vehicle.

Whereas a dedicated system works in harmony with your vehicle's ECU and all of its functions.

Coding

This is the coding of the ECU to accept the dedicated system, this updates your vehicles software to run smoothly with the new towbar.

All Seat Arona models will not require coding.

Coding is used to update your vehicles software in order for it to run coherently with the new towbar through the dedicated electrics.

Bumper Cuts

Depending on the towbar, Seat Arona models will require a bumper cut. A bumper cut is when a fraction of the vehicle's rear bumper is cut in order to fit the towbar.

All Seat Arona models have towbars that require non visible and no bumper cuts.

Nose Weight

Nose weight is the amount of weight pushing down on the tow ball, it is important not to exceed the nose weight set on the tow bar, failure to do so could damage the car chassis and/or tow bar mounting points. Nose weight varies depending on the towbar you choose and are displayed under each tow bar below.

All Seat Arona models have a nose weight of 55kg up to 70kg.

Towing Weight

Towing weight is the weight that a Seat Arona vehicle can tow safely, without any risk of damaging the vehicle. Towing weights are bar specific and displayed below each towbar.

For all Seat Arona vehicles, the towbars have a towing weight capacity of 1200kg up to 1300kg.

You will need to check the towing limit for your Seat Arona vehicle model as it may not be able to tow up to the weight limit that the tow bar can tow.
