Design & Looks
Seat kept the Arona’s youthful silhouette. The front end now sports sharper LED headlights and a slightly wider grille that gives the car a more confident stance. Inside, the dashboard has been tidied up with an 8‑inch infotainment screen that’s easier to reach. The seats are still supportive, and the optional sport trim adds contrast stitching for a touch of flair. Overall, the design feels modern enough to sit beside newer rivals without looking dated.

Performance & Mileage
Under the hood the Arona carries the same 1.0‑liter TSI engine that produced 115 hp in the original. It’s paired with either a six‑speed manual or a smooth 7‑speed dual‑clutch automatic. Acceleration is peppy for city driving, and the engine stays quiet on the highway.
The real star is fuel economy – Seat quotes about 45 mpg combined (≈5.2 L/100 km). Real‑world tests from owners confirm numbers close to that, making the Arona one of the most efficient crossovers in its class.
| Engine | 1.0 L TSI, 115 hp |

| Mileage | ~45 mpg (combined) |
| Price | £22,000 – £26,500 (depending on trim) |
| Top Features | LED headlights, 8‑inch infotainment, Adaptive Cruise Control, Wireless Phone Charging |
Price & Rivals
The starting price of around £22,000 places the Arona squarely between the Nissan Juke and the Renault Captur. For that money you get a decent amount of standard equipment – Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a suite of driver‑assist aids.
