The model
Read full Seat Arona reviewThe Arona remains a great small SUV choice, and undercuts most of its rivals on price. It'll prove spacious enough inside for most people and is one of the more enjoyable cars in this class to drive. Overall, we prefer the nimbler Ford Puma and more spacious Skoda Kamiq, but that shouldn't stop the Arona featuring high up on your shopping list.
The trim
See full equipmentFR trim adds a sportier feel to the Arona, upgrading the suspension to firmer sports suspension. You also get automatic full LED headlights, electrically adjustable door mirrors, twin exhaust pipe styling, sports front seats, dual-zone climate control, rain-sensing wipers and switchable driving seat profiles.
The engine
See full engine specsIf you're looking for a little more power or an automatic gearbox, you'll appreciate the 1.0 TSI 110. With 108bhp, this engine pulls better from low revs and feels more energetic in every situation. You can have a manual gearbox or a DSG automatic, which flicks through the gears quickly and smoothly. If you regularly travel on the motorway with a full car, this engine is well worth considering.
