Seat Arona

Based on the latest Ibiza, the Arona shares a range of petrol and diesel engines that combine plenty of punch with reasonable running costs. Our favourite is the turbocharged three-cylinder petrol. The Arona might be a bit smaller than the Suzuki Vitara, but you get a more attractive interior, an even better driving experience and the availability of plenty of clever technology. Our pick 1.0 TSI 95 SE Technology

List price £17,545

Target Price £16,545

For Good to drive, a decent ride, good roster of safety kit and reasonable space.

Against This trim doesn’t come with an alarm and the dashboard is a bit uninspiring.
