Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the SEAT Arona 1.0 TGI 90 is the quicker car,
covering it in 18.50 s at
73.6 mph against the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3)’s
18.95 s — a margin of
0.45 s. To 60 mph the SEAT Arona 1.0 TGI 90 takes
11.97 s and the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3)
12.11 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the SEAT Arona 1.0 TGI 90,
2/2 for the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3) —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the SEAT Arona 1.0 TGI 90 or the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3) faster?
The SEAT Arona 1.0 TGI 90. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 18.50 s to the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3)'s 18.95 s, a margin of 0.45 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 11.97 s against 12.11 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the SEAT Arona 1.0 TGI 90 0-60 time?
The SEAT Arona 1.0 TGI 90 reaches 60 mph in 11.97 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.50 s at 73.6 mph.
What is the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3) 0-60 time?
The Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3) reaches 60 mph in 12.11 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.95 s at 74.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The SEAT Arona 1.0 TGI 90 trips the lights at 73.6 mph and the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3) at 74.3 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the SEAT Arona 1.0 TGI 90 and 2 of 2 for the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
