FactThe rare Crono 2000 used a Fiat two-litre engine fitted with a Porsche-developed cylinder head.
A small family car built by SEAT from 1982 to 1986, styled by Tom Tjaarda at Rayton Fissore with the Technical Centre in Martorell, and the first SEAT named after a Spanish city; 177,869 were built. It was a restyled SEAT Ritmo, itself derived from the Fiat Ritmo, with rectangular headlights, different tail lights and panels, and Spanish-built engines and parts, and a roomier interior with deeper seats and a more complete instrument panel. It had a five-speed manual only, a 370-litre boot that folds up to 1,250 litres, and launched with engines from the 124 series, a twin-cam 1.6 and a 1.7-litre diesel. The rare Ronda Crono 2000 used Fiat's two-litre engine with a Porsche-developed head, System Porsche, and only 800 were built. After an autumn 1984 facelift it became the Ronda P, with the "System Porsche" petrol engines developed for the Ibiza. It was SEAT's first car developed after the split with Fiat, first delivered to the Netherlands in April 1983, and was briefly sold in the UK as the SEAT Málaga hatchback.
