Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Been around for a few years, but still among the best of its ilk

Pros
Good-looking SUV drives well,
handles well,
is priced well

Cons
Diesels are noisy,
entry 1.0 TSI struggles

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Big boot and lots of interior space
Lots of great engines
Fun to drive for an SUV

Cons
Could be more comfortable
Interior plastics could be better
Overall cabin design is dull

By: 
carwow.co.uk

The Arona is perfectly ok, but Seat found it too easy to leap on the small-crossover bandwagon. They just faxed it in. Get a Leon instead.

Pros
Decent chassis,
good infotainment system and tech

Cons
Updated cabin still a little drab,
trim levels restrict your kit choices

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Looks great
Well equipped across the range
Nice and easy to drive

Cons
Tight on space for rear passengers
Lags behind on boot space
Some cheap-feeling interior bits
