A good-looking small SUV that drives rather well. Worth considering if you're in the market.
PROS Intelligent, good-looking design inside and out, excellent infotainment
CONS Could do with a plusher ride. Turbo-less petrols can feel a bit weedy. No electrified option
PROS Classy interior Tidy handling Very well equipped
CONS Overly firm ride No seven-seat option Rivals have more space for passengers and luggage
Some smart new styling, a new interior and big tech upgrades make the latest Arona more appealing than ever. It’s as good to drive as ever, but that comes at the expense of that firm ride. While the styling of the FR model gives it undeniable appeal, it’s certainly a case of try before you buy.
