The SEAT Arona has established itself as a strong contender in a competitive class. There is no shortage of rival compact crossover SUVs, but the stylish Arona makes a great case for itself.
It has competition close to home, thanks to the closely related Volkswagen T-Cross and Skoda Kamiq. From the same family, there’s also the Audi Q2, which offers a similar experience but with a more upmarket badge on the grille.
The Ford Puma delivers a fine driving experience, while the MINI Countryman, Nissan Juke and Renault Captur have also become firm favourites with UK drivers. And there’s the SEAT Ibiza hatchback, which the Arona is based on, to consider as well.

The SEAT Arona is part of a highly competitive sector in the UK car market, with many rivals to consider. However, it offers plenty of good reasons to be worth considering, and really is a great used choice to make.
Where the Arona particularly impresses is with the driving experience. SEAT has ensured the Arona delivers a more engaging drive than crossover SUVs. It has quick steering, and feels close in character to the SEAT Ibiza it’s based upon. The only minor drawback is a firm ride on models fitted with larger 18-inch alloy wheels.
Helping the Arona are a range of engines that suit its lively character. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrols are particularly zingy, especially in the more powerful 110PS form. Those who spend more time in town may prefer the seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, which takes the strain out of heavy traffic.
It may be relatively small on the outside, but the Arona delivers lots of space inside. With a driving position that isn’t as high as other crossover SUVs, there is loads of headroom for those in the front. In the back, young adults will have no complaints about the head and legroom on offer.
Luggage capacity is also better than the class average, at 400 litres with the back seats in place.
Standard equipment levels across the Arona range are generous, and add to the feeling of value for money. All except the entry-level SE model have satellite navigation, and all versions benefit from LED headlights and a virtual instrument panel.
With a handsome design, a sporty driving experience and attractive prices, the SEAT Arona is a great crossover to buy or lease. Whether new or used, it stands up well against the competition.

The 1.0-litre petrol is the most popular engine with the SEAT Arona. It might sound small but it's a turbocharged unit with plenty of performance, especially the more powerful 115PS (later 110PS) model. This has a six-speed manual gearbox, too, unlike the 95PS unit's five-speed transmission. That's definitely a bonus if you plan to spend a lot of time on the motorway.
In terms of trim level, we'd recommend the SEAT Arona SE Technology for its high levels of standard equipment without breaking the bank. Plusher models come with some nice extras - like the Arona FR's ambient lighting, sports seats and leatherette dash - but they will, obviously, cost more to buy.
The SEAT Arona is offered with a choice of engines, most of which are turbocharged petrol units. There is also the 1.6 TDI turbodiesel. Depending on the model chosen, buyers get either a manual gearbox or a dual-clutch DSG automatic.
The SEAT Arona is sold in several different trim levels, with three core options of SE, FR and Xperience. With so many trim levels to pick from, SEAT only offered limited optional extras for new buyers, encouraging them to move up to a higher trim instead.

The SEAT Arona’s boot space is:
Whichever model of SEAT Arona takes your fancy, you will pay the usual £180 rate of road tax for all models. That is much the same story for almost all of the Arona's rivals.
As a compact crossover SUV, the SEAT Arona is relatively affordable to insure. The entry-level SE model should be the cheapest to cover, with the 1.0-litre TSI 95 engine rated in insurance group 9 (out of 50) for the manual version. The more powerful 1.0 TSI 110 starts at insurance group 10, with higher-spec models rated in group 12. With the most powerful engine, the Arona 1.5 TSI 150 is in insurance group 18.
