Here AutoBears is reviewing the Seat Arona. The Spanish brands first small Crossover/SUV.
In a highly competitive segment including the Renault Kaptur and Nissan Juke, the little Arona is fighting with the big boys here. Starting at £17,145 the Arona isn't too much more than the Ibiza on which it's based. However for those with mobility problems the extra ride height will prove very beneficial.
Powered by a 1.0 3-cylinder TSI, 1.5 4-cylinder TSI or a 1.6 4-cylinder diesel, there's a strong choice of engines available although the higher powered 1.5 is only available on FR trim and upwards. I had the 1.0 TSI 95PS and boy what a surprise this engine is! Nippy, torquey and fun I was gobsmacked how it pulled. A real treat.
Ride and Handling really do impress as well.
