Car was fine. My previous car was Seat Ibiza so I know the car very well. Just one problem there was no service stamps on the service book?

Reviewed a 2020 Seat Arona on 5 Jun 2021
Nice super mini SUV ,It is a seat ibiza raised up to look like a SUV, interior is a little more spacious than you think,unfortunately i am 6 feet tall and well rounded so when drivers seat back enough for me to be comfortable there will be no room in the rear seat for a passenger. Limited engine options . great for around town but a little under powered if using motorways . Having said this if i was 5ft 8 inches and slim then i would recommend this car without any hesitation.

Seat Arona (2017-present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Light controls make it easy to drive in town | Diesel engines discontinued from mid-2021 |
| Spacious boot by class standards | No hybrid option |
| Composed and comfortable ride | Some owners complain of squeaks and rattles |
Quick Summary
The Seat Arona (2017-present) is a stylish and practical small SUV that combines attractive design with genuine family-friendly functionality. Built on the Ibiza platform with added ground clearance and a taller body, it offers surprising interior space for its compact proportions. The 400-litre boot exceeds that of a Volkswagen Golf, whilst the cabin accommodates six-foot adults comfortably in both front and rear seats. Light steering and well-controlled handling make it easy to manoeuvre in town, whilst the composed ride quality handles challenging road surfaces with aplomb.
Engine options include a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol available with 95bhp or 110bhp, delivering real-world fuel economy around 50mpg. Earlier models offered a 1.5-litre turbo petrol and 1.6-litre TDI diesel, both now discontinued. All versions emit below 120g/km CO2, keeping road tax reasonable. The Arona appeals to younger buyers and families alike, with extensive personalisation options through nine body colours and three contrasting roof choices. As a used buy, it represents excellent value with strong resale figures of 42-48% after three years.
Best for: Families seeking a stylish, practical small SUV with easy town driving, younger buyers wanting personalisation options, and those prioritising comfort and composure over outright performance.
Not ideal for: Buyers requiring diesel engines, those seeking hybrid technology, or drivers wanting the most engaging driving dynamics in the segment.
