SEAT Arona
Subcompact CrossoverProduct Gallery
Product Overview
SEAT Arona is an entry-level subcompact crossover in production from 2017 to 2020, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 1.6 liters.
Essentially a jacked-up SEAT Ibiza, the Arona is the smaller alternative to the Ateca. It essentially uses the cheapest parts from VW's parts bin and is half-heartedly put together.

Reviewer score 68% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Arona is faster, sweeter to drive, more efficient, more practical and rides better than its rivals. Despite its more compact footprint compared with the Fiat, the SEAT has a bigger boot, at 400 litres. You get six airbags and autonomous braking as standard, which is a solid level of kit because its rivals don't feature the latter. Mazda has updated the CX3 this year and it's still a fine compact crossover.
Pros
- Punchy engine
- Comfortable to drive
- Decent infotainment
Cons
- Cheap to buy
- Poor efficiency
