Find your perfect Arona

Cars available now

The Seat Arona is a great small SUV choice, and undercuts most of its rivals on price. It's spacious enough inside for most people and is one of the more enjoyable cars in its 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 1.0 TSI 115 engine with SE Technology trim is our recommended version.

FR 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.

At the top of the range sits the 148bhp 1.5 TSI Evo 150. Unsurprisingly, its extra power helps deliver much quicker acceleration than either of the 1.0-litre units, but it pushes the Arona's price into the territory of bigger, more grown-up cars, such as the Volkswagen T-Roc.
