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
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

The Compass enters 2021 with minor changes. There's a new 80th Anniversary Edition that's based on the Latitude trim level and features Granite Crystal 19-inch wheels, leather seats with contrast stitching, a power-adjustable driver's seat, remote start, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, a 115-volt power outlet, and more. Other flourishes include trim-specific badging, an oak medallion key fob, and piano-black and gunmetal interior accents. The Limited and Trailhawk trims both add more standard active safety features, such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist..
Pros Can actually handle some off-road obstacles, no shortage of popular technology, one of the prettier Jeep designs.
Cons Inferior interior materials, powertrain has apathetic responses, the Cherokee offers more capability.
The Jeep Compass has impressive off-road credentials, but its poor road manners and noisy engines mean it's ultimately off the pace.
Pros Good off-road ability Reasonably spacious interior
Cons Terrible engine refinement Small boot for its class
