FAQs

What are the main problems with SEAT Arona? ›

The Arona ranked 15th out of 25 small SUVs in our 2022 What Car? Reliability Survey. That's ahead of the Puma, Kamiq and T-Cross, but behind the Audi Q2, the Mini Countryman and the Juke. All versions of the Arona come with a three-year warranty that covers you up to 60,000 miles.

The Arona is based on the same platform as the current Ibiza, while the said platform also underpin various vehicles in manufactured by Volkswagen Group including the Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen T-Cross, and Škoda Kamiq.

Which is better, SEAT or Volkswagen? The average maintenance and repair cost across all SEAT models is £38.42 cheaper than Volkswagen. Based on the models included in the reliability survey above, Volkswagen scores an average of 91.9%, whereas SEAT scores 92.61%, putting it into the lead - but only just.

SEAT. Just pipping Mini to 19th spot in Warranty Wise's reliability rankings is SEAT. According to the repair claims data, SEATs tend to be a little bit less likely to break down than many brands and, when things do go wrong, they're relatively affordable to fix.

What is similar to a Seat Arona? The Arona shares engines and various mechanical bits with the VW T-Roc and VW T-Cross along with the Skoda Kamiq. In terms of fun-to-drive small SUVs, you might want to consider the Ford Puma. Is the Seat Arona bigger than a Seat Leon?

A stop-start system is also fitted to all Arona versions. SEAT claims the 1.0-litre 94bhp version should average up to 52.3mpg on the combined cycle, while the 108bhp variant returns 53.3mpg in six-speed manual form and 47.9mpg when paired with the seven-speed DSG auto gearbox.

Unsurprisingly, several have German roots, starting with the namesake Volkswagen brand sold in huge volumes around the world, along with the luxury Audi brand and iconic Porsche. But Volkswagen has owned Spanish brand SEAT since 1990 and the Czech brand Škoda since 2000.

While a high seating position is a desirable feature of small SUVs, the SEAT Arona's driving seat doesn't feel as lofty as many alternatives. It's easy to get in and out of, but you're not going to tower over other traffic as you might in bigger SUVs like the Skoda Karoq.

Does the Seat Arona have cruise control? ›

Visibility, parking sensors and cameras

However, all trim levels except entry-level SE come with rear parking sensors, while range-topping Xperience Lux models also get sensors at the front of the car, a rear-view camera and parking assist.

Like most of the Seat line-up, the Arona is built at the brand's headquarters at Martorell in Spain. Part of a huge site that includes the design and technical centres, as well as the Cupra motorsport department, the factory is capable of producing around 500,000 vehicles every year.

All cars are front-wheel drive - there's no option of the 4Drive 4x4 system found on the larger Ateca, and no special traction control as used on the C3 Aircross or Peugeot 2008.

Petrol engines

We think the 128bhp 1.5-litre is the best Leon engine for everyday family motoring. It has enough get-up-and-go to make the cut-and-thrust of city traffic easy to deal with and it'll still manage upto 51.4mpg.
