Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

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

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

Lags behind on boot space
Some cheap-feeling interior bits

Refined engine and gearbox

Cons
Some detail missteps beneath the surface

topgear.com

Crossover maxes out on style, practicality and economy.

Automatic gearboxes sap power
Suspension could be more comfortable
