The SEAT Arona 1.0 TSI SE Technology is one of those cars that reminds you why compact crossovers became so popular in the first place. It takes the nimbleness and efficiency of a supermini and blends it with the raised ride height, practicality, and confidence of an SUV. The 1.0 TSI petrol engine is a gem?lively, frugal, and perfectly suited to both urban driving and longer motorway trips. In SE Technology trim, the Arona comes generously equipped: an intuitive infotainment system with navigation, smartphone integration, parking sensors, and a host of driver assistance features make everyday motoring that bit easier. What really sets it apart, though, is how it drives. The steering is crisp, the chassis well balanced, and it has that unmistakable SEAT sense of fun behind the wheel. Add in a spacious cabin, clever storage, and five-door practicality, and you?ve got a compact SUV that?s stylish, sensible, and surprisingly engaging.
