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 equipmentTop-tier Xperience Lux trim gets all the upmarket extras you get with the normal Xperience trim but also adds 18in alloy wheels, the 10.25in digital instrument panel, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera and Park Assist, which will park the car for you. As with Xperience, we wouldn’t recommend this trim level unless you find a great deal.
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.
