The model

Read full review

The Arona remains a great choice in the small SUV class, and one that undercuts many 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, too. The Ford Puma is even better to drive, though, and the Skoda Kamiq is roomier, more comfortable and plusher inside.

The trim

See full equipment

This trim level gives you all that's standard with FR, plus bigger alloy wheels (18in), mico-suede seats, heated front seats, heated washer nozzles and digital instruments (called Digital Cockpit). It's a bit too pricey, though.

The engine

See full engine specs

The 148bhp 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol delivers much nippier acceleration (0-62mph takes just 8.2sec) than either of the 1.0-litre units, but pushes the Arona's price into the territory of bigger, more grown-up cars such as the Volkswagen T-Roc.
