Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Clever rear seats
Feels solidly built
Comfortable to drive

Cons
Slightly drab styling
Entry-level cars feel slow
Expensive range-topping models

By: 
carwow.co.uk

Pros
Quite posh, lots of room,
decent value for money

Cons
Very little of note,
besides not being very interesting

By: 
topgear.com

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
