Seat Arona

FIRST REPORT Practical new supermini SUV is the talk of the town

- Martin Saarinen

THE supermini SUV is the latest vehicle sector manufacturers are busy trying to conquer. Buyers love them, so we will be running anew SEAT Arona for the next six months to see what all the fuss is about.

At a glance, the Arona looks remarkably like our previous SEAT Ibiza. This is because it sits on the same platform –but don’t think of it as merely an Ibiza with a raised ride height; the Arona is slightly longer and taller than its supermini stablemate, and comes with more luggage space.
