Deal of the Day: Lease a Seat Arona from £167 per month
The Arona is fun to drive and competitively priced – especially on a lease deal. Here's all you need to know, including how much you'll pay up front
If you’re in the market for a new small SUV and driving fun is at the top of your priority list, then the Seat Arona is one to look at.

Indeed, not only does it offer most of the qualities you’d want from a family runabout, such as a spacious interior and decent-sized boot, it’s also more agile and enjoyable than rivals like the Citroën C3 Aircross and Renault Captur. So, if that all sounds good to you, then you might be pleased to know that you could put a new Arona on your driveway for as little as £167 per month.
To do that, you’ll need to opt for a 24-month contract with an annual mileage limit of 5000 miles, and an initial payment of £2003.92 (equal to 12 monthly repayments) plus a £245 processing fee. After this, you'll make 23 payments of £166.99. The annual 5000 mile restriction isn’t a huge allowance, so you’ll have to be careful to avoid excess mileage charges.

If you regularly cover more miles, you could opt for a more common 36-month, 10,000-mile agreement with an initial payment of £1378.41 (equal to six monthly repayments) and £245 processing fee, which will cost £229.73 per month.

There’s a range of engine options available with the Arona, but our Deal of the Day comes with our recommended unit: the mid-range 114bhp 1.0-litre TSI 115. It pulls well from low rev and is generally more lively than the entry-level 94bhp option. It also comes matched to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
One of the Arona’s strongest points is how fun it is to drive. Indeed, with accurate steering and firm suspension, it inspires confidence through corners and resists body lean well. Our Deal of the Day also comes with grippier tyres and firmer sports suspension that provide even better body composure. Only the sharper Ford Puma is more entertaining to drive.
Unlike the Puma, though, the Arona’s engine is pleasantly hushed at motorway speeds, although there’s a moderate amount of road noise. Its automatic gearbox is smoother through gear changes than the manual option, too.
The Arona’s interior is a much nicer place to be compared with previous generations, thanks to great improvements in material quality. It makes use of soft-touch fabrics and convincing fake-metal trim across the dashboard, with all the cheaper-feeling plastics hidden lower down. All versions come with a leather steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake, while our Deal of the Day also includes ambient lighting.

Elsewhere inside, there’s an 8.0in digital driver’s display alongside a 9.2in infotainment touchscreen, complete with DAB radio and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone mirroring. You also get physical controls for the air conditioning, unlike the Puma or Volkswagen T-Roc.
Even if you’re more than six feet tall, you shouldn’t have any issues getting comfortable in the front or rear of the Arona. There’s more room than in the Kia Stonic and Nissan Juke, although carrying three adults in the back can become a bit of a squeeze. Boot space measures at 400 litres, and we found there was enough room for six carry-on suitcases.
Our Deal of the Day comes in performance-focused FR trim, which includes 17in alloy wheels, enhanced styling, firmer sports suspension and a few extras, including dual-zone climate control, heated front sports seats and power-folding door mirrors.
